Alakazam at Colette by Ami Kealoha
Japanese artist Susumu Mukai and Will Sweeney, both London-based graduates of the Royal College of Art who previously collaborated on Gas 20 are the duo behind Alakazam opening at Colette in Paris this Monday, 30 January through 25 February. The event will also launch Sweeney's new toy modeled after a rotisserie (pictured after the jump). Known for his comic book, "Tales From the Greenfuzz," his hot dog and french fry characters suggest a kind of snack food mythology.
