RPM REPORTER: The Strongbow BowTime Bar

This year's V Festival wouldn't have been complete without Strongbow's Bowtime Bar, offering up the best raw talent in a uniqely built structure that houses four bars, including a Gallery Bar and Terrace Bar, VIP area and dance floor that was packed out right throughout the weekend. Queues formed outside for practically every act, and perfectly poured pints of Strongbow were served throughout.

Moschino's Hotel

Fashion giant Moschino have transformed a neoclassical railway station built in 1840 into a 65 room hotel. The hotel urges visitors to ‘expect the unexpected’ decking out their rooms with fairytale-inspired designs. Each space tells a different story, with Moschino adding their trademarked stylish-quirky touches with teacup tables, a forest bedpost, a rose petal-covered bedspread and even a wolf creeping out of the bedcovers.

FAT PANTS

The YMCA has promoted their fitness programs by organizing a ‘fatpants’ drive. YMCA lobbies are fitted with FatPants donation boxes in which slimmers donated their old trousers once they had lost weight.

As members shed the pounds the trousers were then added to outdoor billboards to demonstrate the success of the weight loss programs. In just a few months, thousands of trousers were collected and donated to the local Salvation Army.

The Perfect Pencil

Here at RPM, we're big on recycling, so were pretty elated to see these handy TreeSmart pencils made from 100% recycled newspaper. What a great thought that The Metro is being used for something more positive other than depressing us all on our commute to work every morning!

Artistic Group: EN MASSE

EN MASSE is a non-profit organisation that brings together emerging Montreal artists to participate in an ongoing series of artistic projects. The group focuses on the creation of large-scale, highly spontaneous, collaborative black and white murals and public installations.

The picture above documents their revamp of Le Petit Hotel in Old Montreal, where they adorned a small awkward space with their black and white murial, transforming the interior.

The EN MASSE Mandate is twofold; firstly to increase the visibility of new young artists, both collectively and as individuals, and secondly, to foster community-oriented art events and programming, built upon a specific form of collaborative interaction and immersion between the chosen artists.
