GR 46: Giant Trio
Giant Robot mag issue #46 profiles Gong Li, Hiroshi Fujiwara, & Towa Tei - the "First Impressionists"
"David Bowie is reputed to have said, 'Its not who does it first; it's who does it second.' That's a fact. In music, film, fashion, or any artistic avenue, true originals never recieve attention or credit for starting trends. More importantly, they dont even want it. They act out of love, need or desperation - but never for attention. This issue features three individuals who do not crave the spotlight, but deserve it." - GR editors Eric Nakamura & Martin Wong
Pick up a copy of GR in Vancouver at Chapters or Zulu Records to read about Gong Li, the Marlon Brando of Chinese cinema - the original Zhang Ziyi, Hiroshi Fujiwara, the godfather of Japanese street fashion culture - Nigo's sempei, and Towa Tei, trailblazing DJ of the Japanese expat art scene in NYC as member of Dee-Lite and A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Jungle Brothers collaborator.
