PEAK PERFORMANCE – HELIUM UTILITY FLO CAPSULE

Posted on 2024-08-26

The new, limited-edition ‘Helium Utility FLO’ capsule comprises four jackets that utilise surplus fabrics to create unique, colour-blocked colourways. The jackets are down-filled with a 700 fill power that promises super warmth, using 90/10 RDS-certified down for an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio. Each jacket is coated in a PFC-free water-repellent spray which, whilst not waterproofing the garment, provides some level of wet weather protection. The jackets are also fully packable, making them ideal for storing in compact spaces.

BENJAMIN SENIOR – SCREENING

Posted on 2024-08-26

Senior approaches his work as a social realist by walking the streets and making daily observations of multicultural London. However, once the work is underway, the approach shifts to painting in a formalist manner, constructing the painting to achieve an abstract unity.
He is drawn to commonplace scenes that we might pass by on autopilot, like the bus stops and commercial storefronts seen throughout the exhibition. The title Screening has a multitude of layers and meanings; there are the phone screens most people are nowadays fixated on, the fashion billboard screens that colorfully light up streets, the storefront windows that try to lure the street traffic to come inside to shop.

FLORINE IMO – TRENZA

Posted on 2024-08-26

“Trenza,” Spanish for braid, is a potent symbol in the Mexican culture of her boyfriend where it represents indigenous heritage and femininity. According to Imo, “Braiding each other’s hair is a source of comfort and it represents our interwoven lives. Nothing exists in isolation. Every action affects the whole. One is all, and all is one.”

HARLAN BOZEMAN – OUT THE E

Posted on 2024-08-26

Out the E is a photographic project about the rural Arkansas Delta town of Elaine. In 1919, as cotton prices skyrocketed, Black sharecroppers—trapped in a vortex of debt and underpayment—began to organize for better conditions and fair payment. On September 30, a meeting of these farmers was disrupted by several white men, one of whom was killed. Hours later, spurred on by a “Black insurrection,” a white mob—including federal troops—descended on the area. Two days later, more than 500 Black people were killed in what is considered to be the deadliest racial conflict in the U.S.
