MOVEMBER /

A friend of mine has entered the 1980's once more in the good name of raising money for The Prostate Cancer Charity. It is part of a collective moustache growing effort of many men across the world called Movember - trying to raise awareness of mens' health issues.



You can help along the way by donating to Luke's impressive efforts at the Movember site here.



Movember : The Movember Foundation is an Australian based, not for profit, charitable organisation that implements the Movember event each year across the globe.



The Movember event creates awareness around men's health issues and raises funds for carefully selected beneficiary partners in each country that are also charitable organisations, with a focus on prostate cancer.



Since its inception as a formal charity in 2004 Movember has raised over $30 million (AUD) globally, significantly increasing awareness of prostate cancer in the community, and is continuously working to change the attitude men have about their health.

MIGRATION // AN EXHIBITION IN TWO PARTS

Migration / Part 01 / London / By Hellovon from Hellovon on Vimeo.

Migration / Part 02 / New York / By Hellovon from Hellovon on Vimeo.

My most recent exhibition Migration has now been completed.

Migration took place in two parts, in two major cities in two months. A flock of abstracted birds was first installed on the Truman Brewery, London in late August. In September the birds reappeared in New York flocking towards the billboard on the side of the Espeis Gallery in Williamsburg - the project inheriting the migrational nature of it's content.

A huge thanks to those involved in helping make it happen.
Many thanks to all those who have published and blogged the project.

Prints and original artwork are available to purchase from the Migration site.
