Pip & Pop Kawaii Pop



Oh my goodness - I am so excited about my recent discovery of Pip & Pop! (Thanks Liane!) Nicole Andrijevic and Tanya Schultz work together as collaborative duo Pip & Pop. Their art practice encompasses installation, painting, photography and wall drawings.

Here is a little note from their press release:
Their abundantly detailed and seductively colourful works are made from an eclectic mix of materials such as confectionery, plastic objects and plants, origami, vinyl, paint, and magazine cut-outs. With child-like optimism and playful working methods, they construct and transform everyday objects into elaborate and joyfully excessive artworks that explore notions of desire, abundance and blissful states of being.

Pip & Pop will be showing at The Japan Foundation in Sydney 15th May - 3rd June as part of the Facetnate series, a grant program in which one of three lucky artists will be awarded a return flight to Tokyo to further their art practice! ah hem...why didn't I know of this sooner!?!! I would have liked to submit my work for possible inclusion! There is always 2010!

Anyway, I hope you will get a chance to see it. And the Japan Foundation library is a must for any Japan lovers! For more info about the exhibition please click here.







By the way, have you watched my art video Kawaii Pop?



Very special thanks to the lovely Pip & Pop for sending through this information. I can't wait to meet you both at your Sydney opening!

楽しみにしています！

    ha ha thank you Madamecraft! Oh you are so cute! I am happy Pizzicatto Five are part of your happy days! But you already live in Tokyo! So 'non stop to Tokyo' could be 'non stop, non stop, non stop to Shibuya!'!

    ha ha!
    Have you been to the big craft magazine shop in Shinjuku? I read about it here:

    I think it might be opposite Okadaya (which I have also not been to).
    Sounds fun! I thought you would probably know about it!

    Happy Tokyo Sunday!
    Love love

    Hi!! Yes i have been to that place and Okadaya too at least three times at month, in fact is the same Okadaya. Okadaya are two buildings one infrnot the other, one just for fabric and the other just crafts materials and a craft books/magazines floor.
    I have to tell you if a heaven exist in the universe is Okadaya. ha ha
