HOUSES FOR SALE

Posted on 2019-02-18

From the country to suburbia to the New Jersey Shore, this exhibition is a survey of domestic domiciles that offer comforts of home, even in the most questionable settings. PDNB Gallery artists, and some artists new to the gallery, will be featured.

The photo essay, Last House Standing, by German born artist, Ben Marcin, is represented in this group show. Marcin documents isolated, decaying two and three floor walk-ups found in Baltimore and Philadelphia. The old buildings stand alone on the street, waiting next in line to be demolished. The old-age metaphor is quite graphic.

Actor and photographer Jason Lee’s road trip around Texas, recently culminated in the book, A Plain View. Included in his colorful Texas series are homes like Marcin’s, worn and haggard, some empty of life. These structures, found in the landscape of country towns, each have long stories to tell.

Ira Wagner’s 10-year document of raised houses on the New Jersey Shore explores how people live comfortably while knowing the future location of their property will be in the ocean. Ira’s book, Houseraising, published last year, offers an essay written by PhD Sociologist, Rachael Shwom, who has researched climate change and its effect on society. Ironically she also lives in one of these raised homes near the rising sea in a floodplain.

Opposite – Jason Lee, Paris, Texas(2), 2017

Exhibition runs through to March 2nd, 2019

DAVID BAILEY – THE SIXTIES

Posted on 2019-02-18

Bailey’s bold and iconoclastic style has made him one of the world’s most renowned living portrait photographers, and earned him as much fame as his stellar subjects. Discarding the rigid rules of a previous generation of portrait and fashion photographers, he channeled and immortalized the energies of London in the 1960s and beyond.

Self-taught, his distinctive style comprises stark white backgrounds, uncompromising crops, and striking, seemingly spontaneous poses. From the beginning of his career, which now spans more than six decades, his arresting yet spare portraits and fashion images have conveyed a radical sense of youth and sexuality, often typifying the look of the times.

Opposite – Mick Fur Hood, 1964

Exhibition runs through to March 30th, 2019

To bring these two brands together looks completely unique and is the perfect take on heritage athleisure.” For the duo, both houses are “authentic brands who have been trailblazers over the years.”

Comprised of a host of standout items, the first limited edition release of the collaborative collection is a nod towards both institutions’ iconic emblems. Featuring iconic graphics throughout, the apparel offering is made-up of a playful black vinyl twist on the classic adidas Firebird two piece tracksuit, a t-shirt bearing the instantly recognisable Fiorucci angel, and a striped red sweater. This is all capped off by a mandatory pair of striped Samba Rose sneakers in a cream and red colourway.
