BRIAN KENNY X ONITSUKA TIGER F/W 2020

Posted on 2020-09-07

Interdisciplinary artist Brian Kenny is known for his collage and patchwork style, with the artist often slicing and dicing vintage clothing to create new multi-media works. Now, Onitsuka Tiger has enlisted the American artist to translate his style into a new collection of apparel, shoes and accessories for fall.

The collaboration launched this past week and includes a range of activewear pieces like basketball-style shorts and jerseys, as well as colorful denim pieces. The standout item in the collection is the bold, patchwork Onitsuka D-Trainer Boro, with slashes of blue, yellow and red atop a white, chunky sole.

GILROY MERE – APPENDIX 2

Posted on 2020-09-07

Throughout Adlestrop, Gilroy Mere manages to maintain an air of hypnagogic wonder even as he moves between a variety of musical modes. Bibio-style modern folk lilts, dreamy electronic composition in the Plone mould, Dalham-esque downtempo delights and abstracted ambiences can all be found throughout Adlestrop, and many of the album’s timbres have a gorgeous softness to them. Adlestrop is largely an instrumental affair, but the moments where voices enter are quietly arresting – the recollections of the title-track could pass for an old BBC radio broadcast, so potently evocative is the combination of poetic spoken word and Radiophonic Workshop-style soundscaping.

Drawing its inspiration from lost British railway stations, Gilroy Mere’s Adlestrop is a fascinating hauntological work to file alongside the organic electronics of Belbury Poly, The Focus Group and Bibio.

WHAT IS HOME?

Posted on 2020-09-07

What is Home? features work by Keliy Anderson-Staley, Omar Imam and Rubén Martín de Lucas. The Webster dictionary defines home as “one’s place of residence; the social unit formed by a family living together; a familiar or usual setting.” If you ask most people how they define home, it is either where they currently live, or where they grew up. But for many people today, home is not always tangible, due to displacement, border restrictions, or lack of safety. What is Home? brings together three photographers who each interpret the concept of home in very unique ways.

Opposite – Rubén Martín de Lucas, Minimal Republic 3 (Top), 2015

Exhibition runs through to October 31st, 2020
