November 13, 2015 By Leave a Comment

Junko Shimada, owns and operates Gallery Side 2, in Roppongi, Tokyo. She is a very generous woman, always willing to respond to our ‘Urgent’ requests, like the time we first met her at Art Basel Hong Kong, two years ago, and instantly requested an interview with her artist, Takeo Hanazawa. So not Japanese of us! Junko has amazing tastes in art and is not quick to let on that these amazing tastes extend to other parts of arts and culture, like music! We are proud to claim Junko as a very great friend of SPITGAN Magazine, and also, without hesitation, our favorite gallery owner in the world!

放音樂/MUSIC IS PLAYING. SHARON CHIU, FASHION DIRECTOR, NUMERO CHINA.

November 23, 2014 By Leave a Comment

今個月我們請來法國著名時裝雜誌”NUMERO”中文版的時裝總監Sharon Chiu為Spitgan讀者帶來她的音樂playlist。Sharon從少便熱愛時裝，時裝以外，音樂是她的第二至愛，音樂為她在造型創作上帶來不少靈感。今次她為我們推介的音樂以黑人音樂居多，而且很多都是多年前的作品，因為對她來說，音樂就像時裝般，昔日的比今日的更有靈魂。這亦是她喜愛古著的原因。

除了是雜誌時裝總監，Sharon亦是一名資深的造型師及作者，她的時裝作品可於www.mfaa.asia看到。

Oh yeah ya don’t stop. The music keeps playing the records keep spinning. This month we are pleased to welcome Ms. Sharon Chiu, top stylist and fashion director of Numero China to our exalted alumni of SPITGAN selectors. Sharon is one of China’s most creative and inventive stylists working today.

Her work can be seen on the pages of Numero China as well as : http://www.mfaa.asia/sharon/styling.html#1

放音樂/MUSIC IS PLAYING. BY FINE ARTIST, TAKEO HANAZAWA.

June 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

今個月有來自日本的藝術家Takeo Hanazawa我們挑選了15首他喜愛的歌曲作品。這位深受街頭文化及音樂影響的年輕藝術家，其作品風格幽默而充滿玩味，雖然有時甚至會予人不正經的感覺，但作品背後卻其實蘊含了深厚的街頭文化精髓。他的作品都是一些充滿力量的語言，就像他喜愛的音樂般，觸動人心。

他的代理公司為www.galleryside2.net // Spitgan與他做了一個專訪，在即將出版的第三期刊出，大家密切留意。

Get on down, Takeo! This month we are blessed with musical selections from the young and talented Japanese artist, Takeo Hanazawa! Takeo wears his musical influences on his sleeve. Google his paintings, sculptures, and artwork titles! We at SPITGAN dig his whimsical, irreverent style. Don’t write off the man’s work as all play, there are serious messages embedded within the pop culture references. These speak powerfully, like the music that inspires him. One.

Takeo Hanazawa’s work is represented by the great people at : www.galleryside2.net // SPITGAN will have the exclusive interview coming with issue #3!
