Projects
- Hennessy x FuturaIn conjunction with both Hennessy and Zing PR, ACCLAIM facilitated the Melbourne leg of Futura’s world wide tour promoting his limited edition bottle for the storied french cognac brand. The activation included a tour of Melbourne’s famous graffiti spots, an in-store signing at Melbourne boutique Someday and an exclusive launch party featuring a wall of Hennessy bottles each boxed in a small piece of art created live by the seminal New York artist.
- Ian Strange VideoFilm and editing by Damian Kane. Music by Winters – ‘This Time’. A short film on contemporary artist Ian Strange. The painting featured in this film was produced specifically for a short-run cover of issue 30 of ACCLAIM magazine and was a reference to his work as graffiti artist Kid Zoom where-by he would often subvert traditional bus-shelter advertising.
