Danish/Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson had an interesting history. Prior to his artistic ventures and constantly contemplating some very post-modern questions of perception and relation, Eliasson was the Scandinavian break-dancing champion. His experiences in breakdancing however, was an important influence in his art conceptions as break-dancing constantly called for one dancer to negotiate and react to another in battles, mirroring his approach to art.
Mekanism Skateboards enlisted Eliasson to collaborate on a skateboard creation project that is named “Your Mercury Ocean”. This is the first time any artist had worked the surface in 3D at Mekanism Skateboard. The 13-ply deck (as opposed to the usual 7 ply) was milled on top and bottom to create different levels and eventually coated with a mirrored finish to give an impression of waves on well, a mercury ocean. As the artist intends, the skateboard reflects light differently in different environments with different skate maneuvers, challenging the viewer and skater’s perception and relation to his surroundings. This project came out as an impressive collection of 90 decks with 10 artist proofs and 10 exhibition pieces. Mekanism Skateboard and Eliasson took the art of skateboarding to a transcendental level that is out of this world and is absolutely sophisticated.

We don’t even need an opener on Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are–the movie, previews, trailers, books and onslaught of collaborative projects already speak volumes for the movie. While riding the heat and anticipation of the movie, MoMA is also having a retrospective exhibition on Spike Jonze, Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years. In honor of the film exhibition retrospective, PopRally is presenting a compilation of skate videos from 1980s to today. Among the curated videos are Jonze’s own contributions to the skate video genre. Skate videos hit close to home for Jonze as according to the man himself, it was how he got involved in film. Other than the screening, a conversation will also be held between Jonze, Lance Mountain, Greg Hunt, Jake Phelps, Ty Evans and other surprise guests. A must see for skate and film enthusiasts, the screening will be held on Oct 15 at 7.30pm.
