London Talk – W3haus video interview! – Penelope Grabowski – from Steak Zombies
31 Mar 2010

We recently interviewed Penelope during one of the Steak Zombies Exquisite Corpse workshops which was taking place at the Book Club in Shoreditch, London. Penelope talks about her work, inspiration for her characters and creating the workshops where participants can let their creativity flow.

Interview Penelope Grabowski – Steak Zombies from W3haus on Vimeo.

About Steak Zombies (from their website):

The Steak Zombies tales and characters originate in Berlin in 2004. Since its creation, it has been using this whimsical world as a platform for artistic experimentation. The project blurs the line between Fashion, Performance and Design.

Looking at fashion from the arts point of view Steak Zombies research new formats of fashion and their work offer, rather food for thought than readymade fashion products. It is an experience and invites into the crafting process to inspire creativity.

Steak Zombies’ field of work embraces formats such as graphic characters, plush-dolls and accessories, stage-outfits and theatre costumes as well as character- based real-life-costumes. In a series of Live-Sewing and Clothes Customizing Performances in clubs and catwalk-happenings, they experiment with fashion and display its actual manufacturing process as a way of artistic expression and entertainment.

W3haus = WWW + Bauhaus (plus some other herbs and spices!)
24 Mar 2010

We are often asked why we are called W3Haus, starting out in Brazil, and choosing the German spelling of House we were asked about this a lot. Simply, we are fans of the design movement Bauhaus (form follows function) and to illustrate, here is a presentation trying to connect the design movement with webdesign by Simon Collison – Enjoy!

This is currently the only copy in the UK apparently, and, judging by the previous edition, might sell out quickly when it hit’s the shelves!
