A few quick words with Jun Takahashi

Jun Takahashi of UNDERCOVER was such a busy man at Pitti Immagine that A BLOG did not have the chance to sit down and have a chat with him. In between organising his spectacular show, installing his grace dolls in the trees  (and even making one in front of us) i think we can forgive him for that! Thankfully we were able to ask a few words of the master of Japanese street via the wonderful world of the internet, and he replied to us from Japan (while we are in Berlin for Bread and Butter). A man of concise yet true word, here is what Jun Takahashi had to say to A:

 

UNDERCOVER often collaborates with other artists, how did A Magazine fit into this idea for you?

“Of course A Magazine project was one of the big collaborations I have ever done. It is my precious memory. Curating a whole magazine was such a big task. And Communications with Natalie, Paul, other stuff and the artists who participated in the A-mag project became my great life experience.”

 

If you made A Magazine today in 2009, would you do it differently?

“Yes, I think I will make it in different ways. I will be able to present you a completely different world of view.”


We saw your amazing studio wall in A Magazine, can you tell us more about it? How does it look today?!

“I think the impression of my studio at the time might have been pretty chaotic and dark, but you will probably find it now pretty clean.”


We love to follow your own personal Honeyee blog, have you seen ours www.ABLOGcuratedby.com? would you be interested to work with us on our blog, keeping us in touch with Undercover?

“Of course, we can do something together.”

 

Much thanks to Jun for his contribution to A BLOG, we hope more will follow!
