Hicks paints Rich Mix

Christina — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:44:46 +0000

Rich Mix is a charity run space in Shoreditch that offers live music, film, dance, theatre, comedy, spoken word and a range of creative activities for people of all ages and all cultures.

Their main space/ bar holds a variety of events and even has a window through to the BBC recording studio, so we sent Mr Hicks down to Rich Mix to create a new mural in the main space.

With a brief of fabric patterns Hicks got stuck in painting over the weekend.

Big thanks to the team at Rich Mix and Redbull

Miami Art Basel x Secret Wars 2011

Terry — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:00:25 +0000

Monorex and Secret Wars went along to check out Art Basel this year to find out what all the fuss was about.

What we saw, experienced, drank, ate and the people we met topped off a perfect year! In the 7 days in town, we had met 20+ successful and very famous artists including lunch with Ron English, drinks with Buff Monster, Chaz, Tristan Eaton, Kano, Remi Rough and more… The whole trip was a HUGE blast.

Our main mission was to execute a Secret Wars for the first time in this hot and colourful city – this all went to plan and had a great night with the USA team beating Europe by 2 points to 1. Great atmosphere and lots of lovely and very supportive people in attendance.

Thanks to the Underbelly project and Opera gallery for hosting!

See you next year Miami for an even bigger show

Aloft x Monorex x Cut & Paste

andrew — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:00:31 +0000

Starwood Hotels recently opened the very stylish Aloft London Excel in London’s Docklands, the first Aloft hotel in the UK. To mark its opening, the hotel threw a sweet launch party involving a host of friends to help make this a party like no other. Along with the Urban Nerds and co we were brought in to curate a one off Cut & Paste battle in collaboration with Monorex artists – Conzo, Mr Gauky, Sam Bevington & Chris Ross. Given the theme “Innovation in East London” Mr Bevington came out trumps, winning the prize of 3 nights away in the Aloft Abu Dhabi plus having his image projected big style on the outside of the hotel! Not bad if you ask me…..

To the next Aloft party!!

Big shout out to everyone involved and lastly to John from Cut & Paste!
