Curated for Ad's Sake #7: Kale McRedmond
The Art Director & MADC ECOTY takes us beyond the fourth dimension ✨
Great people in and around advertising have great taste in art.
I wanted to know what turns them on, so I asked them about their artistic fascinations and inspirations.
🧑🎨 You’re welcome.
Kale is an Art Director based in Melbourne currently at TBWA. He likes to say yes and then figure out how to do it later…and boy howdy does he do it! Bald Stars makes me chuckle every time I think about the VO. And for his skill and efforts, he was deservedly named Emerging Creative of the Year at the latest MADC – getting a lovely piercing for his trouble.
Let’s get it!👂
🎡 ATK - BONOBO Music Video
Kevin McGloughlin’s experimental music videos are incredible. He has somehow figured out how to be really good at things that haven’t been done before.
🎣 David Lynch - Catching the big fish
“You can understand conflict, but you don't have to live in it.” Some great words for creatives who want to have healthy relationships with their process.
🎧 Shinichi Atobe - Heat
Not sure if this is inspiring or just really nice to listen to while you work. Either way, it’s good.
🚲 The Fourth Dimension - Harmony Korine
The first short film in the “Fourth Dimension” trilogy by Harmony Korine, Alexsei Fedorchenko and Jan Kwiecinski. Val Kilmer is effortless in playing this twisted version of himself in Korine’s section – and it’s free on Youtube.
📷 Roaming - Carrie Mae Weems
Carrie Mae Weems gives a great introduction to her “Roaming” series here.
🚙 Kento IIDA - Drive Safe
Kento’s “Drive Safe” is surprisingly pretty for a series about people crashing their cars.
🍄 This mycelium chair
Made by Eric Klarenbeek out of living fungus. So cool.
(Ed. Check out The Last of Us / Ikea collab coming soon… )
Thanks Kale 💚 You can follow him on his clearly abandoned IG.
Who would you like to see curate one of these? Don’t be ashamed to suggest yourself…
