Although actually being in South Africa, we were unable to attend the opening of new gallery and shop Entropy. Boo us! However both the MissYucki girls have visited and can vouch for this new little gem. Located in the Bamboo centre at the entrance to Melville in Johannesburg, Entropy nestles on the top floor and commands attention, and, we think, deservedly so. The gallery and shop are curated by Marlene Jennings and Damon Garstang and they have an eye for unusual, clever and quirky South African art and design. The shop is beautifully presented, and we do suggest you pop in to have a look and drool over all the lovely curiosities found within it’s clever corners. You won’t be disappointed.

We were lucky enough to be invited to show our works as part of their opening, and you can still find some of our prints and MissYucki pageant power rosettes adorning their walls. So if you are in Johannesburg, South Africa, take yourself over there now, and have a look. Thanks so much to Damon, and we wish you tons of yucki love and luck potions with your new venture. yes yes!

Besides MissYucki artworks you can find beautiful felt creations by Ronel Jordaan, sculptures by Frank van Reenan and some suitcase chairs that we think should be gracing the Yucki attic! You can find out more by visiting the Entropy website, or on their facebook.

MissYucki at Spritz

MissYucki is showing work from “The Messenger” exhibition at Spritz in the Gothic Quarter, just off Via Laietana next to Barcelona’a old wall. If you missed out on seeing the work in Raval you can still see some selected MissYucki pieces at Spritz. The venue is really cute, super orange and they are famous for their cocktail Spritz made of Cava, and other fancy fizzing ingredients.

Please pop in if you are in the old city. Thanks very much to Miss Mikela for organising and helping with the display.

Behold the delicious Plumed Pageant Princess. She is a fierce flurry of raspberry-yum pinkness with streaks of mystery mischief. She knows spring is in the air, and at the first glint of sunlight, she was out and about! New photos from the adventures of this plumed pageant princess will be posted soon! In the mean time you can view the rest of this initial set here.

Pageant Power Rosettes can now be bought from the MissYucki shop. They are too cute, You can wear them as an accessory, or even present them to your pet dog, kitty, rabbit or weasel for being your best pageant power friend. They would definitely make cute gifts to anyone who loves pageants!

The show opens tomorrow at about 8pm, if you are in Barcelona, and want to pop in for a drink, please do, we have lots of curious things to show you! Here is a little preview peek:

“SPOOKASEM evokes a sense of sugar and spice and all things nice; a whiff of the whimsical; of childhood innocence; of indulgence; of the carnivalesque; of nostalgia, dreams and nightmares; of desire and sinful pleasures, conjuring up fairgrounds, forgotten lands, extinct creatures, imagined monsters and friendly ghosts.“

Hopefully we will get some pics up of the work in process soon! we are very excited by it!

Thanks to Monique and Jade for all their input and a super special thanks to Sarah Sinisi for being our most excellent S.A. co ordinator.
More info coming soon!
