Rabbitrevolver's alley (Via dei Gorini) is pound in between two construction sites! So we want to use this opportunity to create an exhibition with your help! Submit your artistic interpretation of one alphabet's letter signed and in A4 format (.jpg), and they will be exposed in the alley! The letters will be posted in the order we receive them, creating a text in the language of dynamic multimedia art!
The site is in the center of Lugano, the 3rd most important economic town in Switzerland, at the beginning of the luxurious Via Nassa!!
With the submission you give Rabbitrevolver the right to make a print of the artwork to be exposed in the alley and in a web-gallery.

Send your submissions to this e-mail:
alpha@rabbitrevolver.com

You can also download the Photoshop layouts for the gallery here:

Friends all around!

Dear Rabbitrevolver's friends,

would you like to give us a hand? We find ourselves with thousands of really cool and new flyers to distribute, but we can't do this alone...

If you come by our studio and give us a hand to distribute them, as a reward, you'll have a free personal photoshoot!

You too are a bit Rabbitrevolver!

ArsPolis / event zero

On Friday, 22nd October 2010 at 18.00, the performance "Guardian" will start the event zero of ArtPolis, developing from Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano to different other locations and concepts in the city centre.

Arrr!

Shiver me timbers! Tomorrow is Talk Like A Pirate Day! Don't miss this awesome holiday! Check out our window, and have a bottle o' rhum!

Wind in all your sails!

This morning, getting out of the studio for the usual chores, a nice lady kindly gave us this apple (don't worry, she was no Snow White bad witch) reminding us that today is the day of the apple. We're taking the opportunity to show you what a sight this super delicious fruit is, and to give a really simple recipe to bake it in an even more delicious dessert!

Apple crumble! For 4 servings!

Get 4 beautiful apples, peel them, dice them and put them in a pan ( be sure it has a high enough rim ).
Sprinkle the apples with 50 gr. of sugar and add a tablespoon of water. Mix it.

On the side, make a sort of cookie from 40 gr. of butter, 40 gr, of wheat, 20 gr. of sugar and 30 gr. of rolled oats.
Mix it well until it becomes a dry and crumby dough (if it keeps wet and gluey with these quantities, simply add wheat and sugar).

Sprinkle the crumbs over the apples, then put it all in the oven at 180° C / 350° F for about 20 mins (this means until the crumbs are golden and crispy).

Best served with vanilla or cream ice cream ( yummy yummy yummy!! ).

Fall is coming.
Obviously it's raining.
The best part of all this is the acknowledgement that you only have flip flops (wonderful shoes to go with "anti-freeze socks").

You watch people going by out of your window, running.
You listen to the sweet penumatic drill sound coming from the building across yours... and from the one on your side.

You try putting on a little music, but the mp3 reader is discharged.
You try drawing something, anything... But the only thought on your mind is your beloved duvet.
You think: "I'll go taking pictures of people under the rain"... and it's like rain is listening to you, because a moment later a storm comes.

And it's in moments like these that you remember when you were a kid, and you were dreaming of being a brave prince, who, in spite of the rain, was always seeing the sun...

A couple weeks ago we kept ourelves busy remodeling our place in Lugano. We optimized the space and widened the atmosphere thanks also to Feng Shui!! You're all invited to visit our office in its new and enticing shape! We will make an official opening, as soon as we'll be completely satisfied, and right now we quite are!!

PS: around fifteen well lit places have been freed to exhibit works! Illustrations, comics, photographs and the like are what we'd like most, but we're open to anything! Anyone who's interested may contact us and get an appointment to discuss the details!

We'll soon post new photos! Until then, if you'd like to see the changes, just come visit us!

Issue 1: Timetable - Solved! ;-)

Rabbitrevolver's adventure wnet through a turbulent process of experimentation, selfcriticism, experimentation... And each time the creative processes and workflow emerge more solid and efficient.


We then profited from mid-August holiday to stop to ponder and elaborate the very first fase of our Lugano actvity and start anew full of energy, keeping what worked, and changing what needed to change.


Thinking back to the jobs done on the studio's opening, we're adopting a more flexible formula to ensure a better sinergy between us and those who accompany us as friend, client or partner, without penalizing creative moments and the realization of urgent jobs.

From now on, we'll keep our phone number +41 (0) 79 5514621 always active (apart maybe in the dead of night, or, sometimes, on Sunday morning), so that anyone could contact Rabbitrevolver anytime.

We will usually be in Lugano from Tuesday to Saturday between 10 and 16, when you want to visit us (we'll love that!) and if you need a job on the spot, unless our services are requested elsewhere.


Naturally you can get appointments all day long from Monday to Saturday, for nighttime meetings... if you're a vampire, we can set up special agreements.

New activity!

Now we paint, too!

We do portraits on canvas, in addition to our photoshoots!

One more application for our studio!

Photos to come!

Technical Problems

In the past week we had some technical problems with our computers, now is almost over, so very soon we will begin publishing new posts! stay tuned!

Saint George

On the eve of Saint George Capital Management's constitution, we've been asked to design the company's logo. Every Wednesday this logo appears on the Corriere della Sera's investment funds page.

Life in a Day

Life In A Day is a historic global experiment to create a user-generated documentary film shot in a single day, by you. On 24 July, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, executively produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.

Chocolate Switzerland!

This Chocolate Switzerland has been designed by Rabbitrevolver's Ulrico Gonzato, commissioned by Immagina and Corriere del Ticino as criticism about Cailler's initiative of distributing a chocolate bar to all hearths in Switzerland, apart from Ticino, as they said it was too hot a region to be suitable for that promotion.

The Gentleman

We worked with our friend and actor Jo for the short movie FLEX, too. What you see here is part of a series of web publications we realized to promote our skilled comedian's show "The Gentleman", including videos on youtube and a minisite.

Mutamenti, originally designed by Luciano Berini. The graphic procet's redesign is Rabbitrevolver's first publishing work. Created by Ulrico Gonzato, Florinda Balli and our team, it's a delicate and attentive work, combining original features, a more modern graphism and a production process structure that improved the costs and made the product more appealing, so much, that it's been bought and enclosed by Gente Sana, which we also have renovated.

You can check our more on Mutamenti in the the site we designed.

Babel.CH, available now!

Babel.ch, the collective comic by artists from all of Switzerland, just came out of printing! You can check it out Here and Here!!
