ART ON DECK: SUPREME SKATEBOARDS FROM 1998-2018

Posted on 2019-11-04

An invaluable resource, Art on Deck represents the most cohesive examination to date of Supreme’s skateboard output.

For 25 years, Supreme’s skateboard collaborations have represented an iconic intersection between art and skate culture, ultimately birthing an entire culture of skateboard art. This book features original images of all decks, including ultra-rare and unreleased pieces such as the “LV” Cease-and-Desist series, the “Japan-only Jesus,” and the Louis Vuitton x Supreme trunk, from the world’s only complete collection, as well as “in-the-field” shots from noted photographers including Los Angeles-based @baariksgallery and Johannesburg’s I See A Different You.

Exploring the history of Supreme’s artistic collaborations, from pieces with now-legendary contemporary artists including Kaws, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Christopher Wool, Jeff Koons, and Richard Prince, as well as underground icons including Raymond Pettibon, Harmony Korine, and Larry Clark, Art on Deck contains original photography, artist interviews, and discussion from the design and fashion critic Byron Hawes.

YUK. – KULAM

Posted on 2019-11-04

As has been the case with several records to emerge from the LA beat scene in the past couple of records, yuk.’s Paraiso draws heavily on the work of trailblazer Teebs. This is to say that Paraiso is one of Chad Valencia’s prettiest collections to date, a set of pillowy half-beats that are spiritualized in a manner that nods to ambient, fourth-world and new age musics.

EVADNEY – I THINK OF BEING IN LOVE (SUITMAN JUNGLE REMIX)

Posted on 2019-11-04

Dropping two releases on Black Acre, Evadney’s music can be described as electronic, poetic, melancholic, cinematic, leftfield and pop. The Brighton-based singer grew up in a large Caribbean family with a Jamaican mother and Barbadian father, influenced by old school soca and calypso tunes, as well as artists like Kate Bush, Bjork and Grace Jones. Earning an MA in Music Composition at Goldsmiths University, Evadney studied the likes of John Cale, Stockhausen and Musique concrete. He now splits his time between making music, working at a charity organization and DJing at the weekends.

MAROESJKA LAVIGNE – LOST LANDS

Posted on 2019-11-04

After traveling to the pristine lands of Iceland and Namibia, Maroesjka Lavigne’s interest in the geological and aesthetic qualities of our earth have grown, specifically in the spectrum of colors it demonstrates. Robert Mann Gallery presents Lost Lands, the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery that opens in conjunction with her newly released monograph, Someone, Somewhere, Sometime.

Fascinated by the earth’s changing terrain, Lavigne travelled to locations including regions of Argentina, Chile, China, and America’s West where she looked at color and form to capture the passing of time in environments that may soon disappear – leaving only traces behind. In the Painted Hills, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, among other locations, Lavigne studied the struggles of the landscape that are evident in the collision of tectonic plates, the composition of a volcano’s eruption and the tactility and texture of polychromatic mountain ranges which are shaped by history. For the artist, nature is unconquerable, and all around us. It can be seen in a narrow dried up ravine finding its way through a pastel canvas of rust-colored hills, or in the flutter of a majestic pink spoonbill against a dark rocky bottomed pool.

Opposite – Yellow bushes, Argentina, 2017

Exhibition runs through to December 21st, 2019

ACNESTUDIOS X PROPAGANDA MAGAZINE

Posted on 2019-11-04

Acne Studios has tapped the archive of gothic subculture magazine Propaganda for a new capsule collection titled after the renowned publication. The womenswear collection focuses on founder/photographer Fred H. Berger’s photos that explore the subculture’s fashion, sexuality, music, art, and literature. Through the magazine’s 20 year history up until its dissolution in 2002, Berger helped in promulgating the magazine’s legacy by highlighting androgynous male models that captured the eerie and macabre aesthetics of goth.
