Hiroko Shiratori
Born in Tokyo, Hiroko Shiratori studied furniture design in Japan and spatial design at Chelsea College of Art before entering the Royal College in 2004. Dissatisfied by the dry, object-driven nature of her first year of studies, and questioning the need for more things, she decided to work with historical narratives – contriving “an excuse to make something new out of an old context”. Her final year project, A Collection of Historical Objects from Japan, lies somewhere between fine art, design and theatre; indeed Shiratori explicitly credits theatre – “the creation of one world” – as an inspiration. In the meantime the ingenious functionality proposed by her Historical Objects contains broad and deliberate possibilities for industrial design.

Artist's Statement
Drawing on persistent cultural images inspired by ballerina tutus, the garb of fairy-tale princesses and Barbie doll couture, my work investigates childhood memories of what it means to be female in Western culture and explores cultural representation of the feminine and the body. The drawings mine contemporary vocabularies of glamour, fashion, popular culture, cartoons, street signage, Hollywood cinema, fairy tales, and mythology, to examine the iconography of the feminine as it exists in the cultural imaginary, personal memory, and fantasy.
I work primarily in the medium of drawing and almost exclusively with black pastel on translucent vellum. This medium with its potential for overwriting offers me the possibility of a spontaneous and direct working process. I use black pastel for its depth and wide range of tonality. The drawings often have an almost sculptural presence as a sense of volume is produced. I also use black pastel because it is an elemental drawing material. Some recent works incorporate collage elements culled from fashion magazines, combining mechanical reproductions with hand drawn gestures. Some of the new work has incorporated colour to explore visceral references to the body.
In addition to drawing, I have also created some sculptural works - “Little Black Dress”, a 17 foot high extravagantly slender cloth gown and “Soft Stiletto” a collapsed oversized vinyl shoe with stiletto heel. Both of these pieces evolved from drawings as did “The Little Black Dress” a video animation produced from hundreds of drawings of black dresses morphing into a variety of forms which references early 50’s style cartoons

Akatre
"Inspiration is everywhere; outside, in the subway, dance shows, architecture, photography, artistic movements, exhibitions, cinema, and life..."
Akatre was founded by Valentin Abad, Julien Dhivert and Sebastien Riveron. The three of them met as students during their art studies in 2002. After working together as a team for school projects and numerous assignments they quickly understood that they had to work together. The idea of Akatre was already working up in their heads. Since their graduation, they experienced working in studios and companies, such as Philippe Apeloig, Integral Ruedi Baur, Pyramyd Editions, Michel Bouvet and Aer 'studio. About a year later of freelance work and internships, they had the “entrepreneurship bug” and didn’t want to work for a name, in the style or the way of thinking of somebody else. Hence they created "Akatre Atelier".

An ordinary wall clock always hasten us. It hurries us for walk with dog, reminds that it is time for work, for dinner, for watching serial or going asleep. Soft Clock helps us to reconsider time as a non-stop rush and allows admiring every minute. Soft Clock is rather an incessantly twisting art-object than a proper instrument for time measurement. This futuristic timepiece may be of any form and color.
Soft Clock = Aluminum framework + C-shape hour hand + Glossy flexible PVC filmt.
