“Slideluck Potshow returns to Barcelona in its sixth edition. Once again, Slideluck Posthow returns to Barcelona, in collaboration with PICS and Barcelona Photobloggers. Saturday March 31st at 8:00pm we will meet again for an evening of good photography and better food.”

 

Some info from Slideluck Potshow site :

 

“Slideluck Potshow (SLPS) is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to building and strengthening community through food and art.  SLPS operates multimedia slideshows combined with potluck dinners in about forty cities around the world.  For each event, artists submit up to five minutes worth of images and guests bring along delicious food to share. 

 

As much as SLPS celebrates physically bringing people together, there is also a emphasis on connecting people online, from one community to the next.  With few exceptions, all of the work that is presented on the big screen will be archived on this website, so once an artist shows work at a SLPS, they automatically engage our larger, global community.

 

Recently named as one of the “NewYork100” most innovative, rule-breaking, model-changing, ideas to come out of the Big Apple, Slideluck strives to find innovative ways to collaborate with like-minded individuals, organizations, and festivals.  In NYC, a massive outreach is taking place to the urban agricultural and foodie community, and a pending attempt was even made to claim The Guinness Book of World Records for the Largest Potluck on Earth.  In Los Angeles, SLPS just put together a show that focused exclusively on women’s issues and in Stockholm, on World Environment Day, Slideluck did a show with our planet as the theme.

 

Slideluck Potshow has had the pleasure of working with a number of the world’s most influential and prestigious galleries, museums, foundations and art fairs.  Participating artists have included:  Chuck Close, Spencer Tunick, Gregory Crewdson, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Shepard Fairey, Nadav Kander, Edward Burtynsky and Elliott Erwitt.  Slideluck Potshow has also been reported on by a number of major news outlets, including: The New York Times, Bloomberg TV, The Washington Post,Brazilian VOGUE, WNYC, GOOD Magazine, Photo District News, Mashable, The Chicago Tribune, Popular Photography Magazine, Cool Hunting, Zink Magazine andThe New Yorker.”

 

New Project : Ref. 1048

I’m actually working on a new project, very different from what I usually do, but I’ve always  liked to experiment with new projects and ideas that arise suddenly.

 

Ref 1048 is the name of this new project, still in its infancy, but I have decided to start sharing it to get feedback.

 

Visit the Ref. 1048 project section on this site for an explanation and a first preview of the online catalog.

Text from german article talking about Jordi

 

Durch die Ausstellung schlendern zumindest am Sonntagmittag immer mehr Besucher, es wird angeregt diskutiert. Elke End und Helen de Louwere stehen schon seit einiger Zeit vor der Bilderserie des spanischen Künstlers Jordi V. Pou. Thema: Natur in der Stadt. Umsetzung: provokant, knallbunt und genial. Da liegen abgenagte Hühnerknochen und der Rest einer sonnengelben Polenta auf einer geblümten Wachstuchdecke, gestickte Pflanzenornamentik prangt auf einem Autositzkissen – in der Stadt manchmal der einzige Bezug zur Natur. „Das ist sehr außergewöhnlich, von der Technik her meine ich“, sagt Elke End. „Und dann dieses Niveau…“, ergänzt de Louwere.
