In June the Front Room will be hosting a exhibition with a twist by local photographer, Paul Lambert. As the title suggests, Paul’s images are not posed and staged but reflect candid moments in time during his travels around the world.

Come along to the launch party at 6pm on Friday 1st June, or drop by any weekday. The exhibition runs until 29th June.

Gondola terminal facelift

Skyline has given its top Gondola terminal a fresh look with these ‘widescreen’ Luge graphics. Fluid managed the original photoshoot and designed the sign graphics to capture the thrill of Luge and help customers head straight to the action when stepping out of the Gondola. Looking good aye?

Honest NZ lamb online

It’s not very often a client’s handshake rocks the core of your very soul but the earth moved when we met Bill French and his wife Sue. From that initial meeting came a new brand, strapline, label design, e-commerce website and photography for Leelands Lamb. It’s (almost) enough to turn the veggies amongst us into slavering carnivores. Try it for yourself from Queenstown’s Med Market or order direct online.

TUBE DRAWINGS BY TOBY EGLESFIELD

fluidtroopers — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:36:50 +0000

The Front Room held an opening night for Toby Eglesfield’s new show “Tube Drawings’ on Thursday 16th February. The opening was a great opportunity for everyone to hear from Toby about how his images were formed and some of the reactions he had making them.

“Tube drawings” is a series of forty-four A6 pencil studies of passengers riding the London underground.

Selected from a larger set of more than a hundred drawings, the sketches were made during the month of August in 2011. The subjects are generally unaware of their quick modeling sessions, preferring instead to gaze into a space just beyond their nose, engage with a book or phone, or doze off with their head lolling to the motion of the carriage.

Displayed together, the drawings represent a compelling cross section of the people who ride the underground and the quirky, sometimes humorous atmosphere that comes to the fore upon reflection of the unique setting.

Each drawing is marked with a record of where it was made and is referenced to a larger map accompanying them at the exhibition.

Come on by any time, the show runs until mid March – many of the sketches have already sold but there are a few left so make sure you don’t miss out.

Fluid Swingers

A huge, two-thumbs-up, new-undies thank you to the team at Shotover Canyon Swing. To mark Fluid’s appointment as their design and branding slaves, Matt and Stress treated us all (apart from those who whimped out – yes, that’s YOU Leigh and Debs) to a morning out at the jump site.

From pick-up to drop-off, and all the maniacal screaming in between, the Canyon Swing team’s madcap enthusiasm was matched only by their supreme professionalism. You can see some pics of the Fluid Swingers below.

Thanks heaps guys – we now know what all the fuss is about. Canyon Swing rocks!

It’s all about Me & Mee

fluidtroopers — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:12:46 +0000

Urbis magazine’s ‘Lap It Up’ feature in issue 65 picked out five NZ eateries “that look as good as the food they serve”. Me & Mee noodle house at Queenstown’s Kawarau Hotel managed by Hilton made the cut.

Fluid created a graphic signature and personality for the brand to reflect the texture and energy of the restaurant’s interior design. You can catch a glimpse of it on the table menus in this snapshot from Urbis or, better still, drop by to take a look yourself and slurp up some yummy noodles!

As the Urbis review concludes: “…for a town that so often fall backs on the rugged alpine look for their restaurants and bars, this stylish noodle bar is well worth dropping into.”

Contemporary art jewellery exhibition

fluidtroopers — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:05:57 +0000

We’re all a bit excited about the New Year, especially because the Front Room will be adorned with contemporary jewellery!

Queenstown contemporary art jeweller, Jessica Winchcombe is no stranger to accolades or art openings.

Her January show at The Front Room in Queenstown is her twelfth opening in as many months. This one is perhaps the closest to home – the other shows entertained art lovers in Sydney, Berlin, Amsterdam, Auckland and various other jetsetting destinations.

Jessica looks at how curation compliments conceptual ideas. This exhibition features the work of five contemporary jewellers (including herself).

This isn’t the latest in engagement rings or beaded friendship bracelets: the cutting edge exhibition redefines what jewellery is, shining a light on the limitless potential of the art form.

Join us at 6pm January 11th 2012 for the exhibition opening (with bubbles of course!). Be sure to check out the Front Room facebook page for more details and artist information.

we’re off to the woods!

Fluid will be away LARPing after Friday 23rd December until Monday 9th January.
