“I designed the window graphics of The Hospital Club, here are some shots of it going up on Sunday in the rain.

The window is the first stage in promoting the Creatives in Residence to the rest of the Club. The visual identity consists of an octagonal building block representing the fact that there are eight of us who are all very different, yet have come together for the journey of the CIR. A sum of parts making a whole. Eight facets representing ourselves and the collaborations we will have with the other seven.

These octagons have been colour coded for each person, and make up a modular typeface, with a word chosen by each of us installed by hand in the windows.

Next up: taking over the lobby with an exhibition I’ll be curating, and Sabrina Mahfouz (Theatre & Poetry CiR) will be weaving the eight words into a poem. Watch this space…”

Riccardo is currently working on a very special project hat has just won a prize, Premio Prospettiva Danza 2011 in Padua/IT.

Riccardo says “Affected by osteogenesis imperfecta, Chiara had to be operated several times. Each of her scars reminds of a peculiar event of her life, so that she would be able to reconstruct her biography from the memories emerging from her own skin.

Chiara reflects on her own body as a link between past and present, family and self.

From this reflection, the project Family Tree: a series of works created each time by a different artist, called to collaborate with Chiara.

I elt very proud in being asked to create the first fragment of the series, volta.

With this work we won Premio Prospettiva Danza 2011 in Padua/IT, we were asked to perform in 4 festivals and to expand the project”

This is the first fantastic image from the photography and poetry project I’m currently working on with wonder photographer Zoe Buckman and super stylist Molly Roe. The series is based on a selection of my poems. As a crazy trio of creatives we pick it apart and come up with a visual story to tell that is initially inspired by the story of the poem. The one above is inspired by ‘If I Were A Rose’.

If I were a rose

I’d probably want redder petals

And a lover to rub the thorn from my side

If I were a rose

I’d probably want the rain wetter

And a personal patch of breeze to keep me dry

If I were a rose

I’d probably expect my stem to stay wilt-free

And for my life certainly not to end in a petrol station

Another piece in the series, ‘Say It’ , is viewable on http://www.zoebuckman.com. The project is on-going and will be exhibited in London and New York in 2012.

Jonathan had an interview in this summer’s b Store magazine, which will be released later today. They are a small, independent fashion shop on Saville Row in Mayfair.
