Events: Some Call It Noise‏


Ali Cha'aban will be hosting his next exhibition called “Some Call It Noise”. This is the third installment of his work, the name of the event illustrates that the notion of art can transcend beyond the visual senses and appeal to even more than one. The event will take place on January 13-15 on the land across the Souq Shark on the gulf road; it’s a street art theme so the place serves a righteous atmosphere. Take a sneak peak at what will be on display...

He is a famous anonymous french street artist that goes by the name zevs. He's liquidized a lot of logos...

The chanel one is extra popular because he got caught doing it and was arrested. Happened in Hong Kong, this year I think.

Mark (The Burger Chaser) is now artistic? sh9ar bil dinya? I'm impressed, well not really!
Last time i checked you were a food critic not an art one :)
Ali goodluck with your work, don't let haters get you down, ma tiswa wo don't forget any publicity is a good one.

so technically this zev guy is a copier too since he used the already existing chanel logo
Now this ali guy may have used that chanel piece but then he made it his own, thats art you build upon whats offered to you or what u find and try to portray something different

ma3indkom salfa, ith all due respect to your opions bas, that liquadating thing, is a form of artwork a style or techinque, so u don't copyright something like that and even if he did kudos to him for taking advadtage. but seriously one logo and you all call fake, so if i were to noone can paint abstract art besides its founder, just apreciate and move on.

um kalthum pop art? seen it all over lebanon (on clutches even)

Also, i believe theres a shop in karizma selling pop art and have something like that..
I like the audrey hepurn ( kuwaity habba one) but its really ironic since your graphic is a habba and that has all been done before. Your not creative, you just know how to use photoshop. Be original.

Thought I should shed some light that Mark is actually a graphic designer that studied the field and excelled in it, in addition to being a blogger.
My personal take on Ali's work is that it's uninspired, recycled and some of it is quite honestly very poorly made.
It's extremely overpriced for the work that's been put into it as well. 350-500KD for a graphic print on canvas? LOL.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
