What:You’d think that Stefan Marx was a jaded sort, with a design platform called ‘Lousy Livincompany’. When in fact Cheeky is more accurate. A quick look at his work and it’s obvious that the guy is on an inspirational high. ThreeThousand can’t help but grin and try to keep up.
Marx loves his decks, his ‘lovely’ record store, window painting and ‘housing’ around. He wears his heart on his T-shirts and his thoughts in not one, but two Nieves catalogues.
In Melbourne for the first time, Marx is creating his own installation inside Don’t Come’s third level annex. Rumoured to be ‘part sculpture, part skateboarding obstacle’, either way we’re ready to jump on a deck and plummet headfirst into Marx’s world, laughing all the way.
