Thread can’t wait for Semi-Permanent in Auckland this Friday 31st May and Saturday 1st June. We go every year and LOVE the international festival for creatives which is back for its 9th year in Auckland, with an amazing line-up.
What I love about Semi-Permanent is hearing from new people and being completely inspired with how they use their creativity, and that they are all so different. You might hear from a graphic designer and then an advertising creative and then an illustrator – all top of their fields. Some are very famous and create work that’s household names, others you don’t know about until you hear them speak.
The 2013 line-up includes –
Digital Kitchen, the US agency that developed Stanley Piano – the world’s first interactive piano – and won Emmy awards for their main title work on True Blood, Dexter and Six Feet
Under.
US production designer Annie Sperling, photographer David LaChapelle’s art director. Sperling is involved with community mural projects throughout Los Angeles reflecting city landmarks, heroes and cultural diversity, and her painting and photography explore the world of burlesque and live theatre which she is also involved.
There’s also Curious Films Founder Darryl Ward, surf magazine Stab’s creator, Sam McIntosh, Rodney Eggleston of March Studios, Michael Lugmayr, founder of TOKO, and Berlin animator and engineer, Niklas Roy.
I’m personally looking forward to a couple of the fashion industry speakers. Pictured above, Perks and Mini from Melbourne (P.A.M.) are a fashion label begun in 2000 that stretch across a variety of creative disciplines including art, fashion, music and pop culture. They will be fascinating.
Thread is also VERY excited about New Zealander Kelly Thompson presenting her sexy illustrations on Saturday morning.
