The opening took place last Thursday, February 7th and the place was packed, what was no surprise. The surprise was to see Teller himself, and Olivier Zahm, Michael Stipe... it was amazing to see so many indi stars all in the same room. Of course i didn't take any pictures of them... but if I tell you the truth I was longing for it.
Here comes Youtube to the rescue...
The show collects the latest work of Juergen Teller: ads for Marc Jacobs (the Posh picture is there and watching it so big and so close is quite interesting), pictures of Harmony Korine taken by Juergen for Purple magazine and the images he took in Ukraine that he was commissioned for to appeared at the Ukrainian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2007.
The same day of the opening I randomly bought the latest issue of the journal (it had a Teller photo in the cover so i guess i was in a Teller mood already) where the whole story about these images in Ukraine is told. It's funny because the magazine complements the exhibition like a tailored made glove: they should sell it at the gallery or at least having it for people to look at.
Another note I would like to add is my hands down for Lara Stone who models in almost all the pictures of Juergen while in Ukraine. They are images that need an open-minded and understanding person as Lara to get the point of it all and to make a good image out of it. She is a Top, for real.

Hi!
I discoverd your blog yesterday and i just love it! i put a link of it in my blog (www.newsfromfashionillustrations.blogspot.com )!
enjoy!
angéline
okay...this is a bit nerdy... but how do you make blogger to post the pictures that big? i just cannot find the right 'command' in the html script. do you upload pics from your desktop or from the net e.g flickr ?
I'm glad you posted this; I'd never have been able to see it from "inside" if you hadn't. Teller has a special talent.
Oh, there's that terrible picture of Posh! However, I sort of like it, it just confirms to me that she isn't really quite of this world, but neither is Lara Stone, in quite a different way.
Fenke: ok, it's very easy but a bit tricky to explain...
When I photoshop my images i save them at 600 pixels width.
Then i save them in flcker or photobucket. Once there instead of copy and paste the link, and then upload them in blogger, i just HIGHLIGHT the image, COPY and PASTE it directly in the post, I DO NOT UPLOAD THE PICTURE TO BLOGGER because when you upload the picture, blogger resizes it.
So you need to directly paste the picture in your post...
Let me know if you understood the explanation, i know is a little confusing...
You have a great blog. Glad I stumbled across it. Would u like to link?
Is the person with the dreads Don Letts?
Thank you, Patricia - I get it and I am glad it is that simple!
Oh que bien, me gusta mucho JT, thanks for sharing!
