TAU LEWIS – SPIRIT LEVEL

Posted on 2024-12-30

Inspired by a range of sources including the many faces of the Caribbean Sea, techno and dub music, novels, and studies of religion and spirituality, among other subjects, Lewis expands her narrative and world-building possibilities. These figures, some of whom appear in other guises throughout Lewis’s various bodies of work, populate the artist’s domain with not only their presence and associated fables
but also with what she terms their “material DNA,” the genetic thread that binds them together. The works in Spirit Level originated in the wake of a major loss experienced by the artist. The forms embody Lewis processing a significant life transition, in which she refigures and repurposes material and emotional inheritances. Through the act of synthesizing found and inherited belongings, she reckons with the ending of an object’s journey as it changes hands, the mysterious space in between these transitions, and its reemergence in a new form.

EVA LÖFDAHL – AN AUDILE DOUBLE

Posted on 2024-12-23

Spanning over 40 years, Eva Löfdahl’s practice has generated an oeuvre of sculpture, paintings and performance that resists simple linguistic categorisation. Her works can seem initially inscrutable but are often materialisations of actual phenomena – models of complex postulates and illustrations of otherwise invisible dynamics.
Löfdahl invokes the sacred with the profane, employing materials that are often modest and close to hand – modified everyday objects like wire rods, magnets, or string, supported in plaster or polystyrene. The act of making the work is simultaneously a way to get to grips with its subject and is an attempt to make the abstract and diffuse concrete and graspable.

THE SANDY LIANG X BEATS SOLO 4 HEADPHONES

Posted on 2024-12-23

Liang stamps a hand-drawn pink ribbon design across the top of the metallic silver silhouette’s headband, while Beats’ signature “b” logos land on either side in pastel pink. The headphones come housed in a box complete with a pink 3D-sculpted ribbon. On the technical side, the over-the-ear headphones offer up to 50 hours of battery life as well as Beats Solo’s top-tier audio quality, boasting a price tag of $199.99 USD.

“I’ve always been drawn to the way nostalgia and modernity can coexist, and working with Beats felt like the perfect way to bring that to life,” Sandy Liang explained in a statement. “They’re such a cultural icon, I wanted this collaboration to feel personal—something that blends function with a sense of playfulness and personality. I wanted it to feel like more than just headphones, but an accessory that brings joy.”

SILENCE PLEASE – HUSH SPEAKER HIGH GLOSS GREEN

Posted on 2024-12-16

NYC-based Hi-Fi speaker studio Silence Please has revealed a new variant of its analog Hush speaker, a studio monitor designed for a rich listening experience that is also compact and aesthetically refined. Originally released in the glossy black, the new edition arrives in an not-so-subtle green guaranteed to pop out in any space.

Reminiscent of Bottega Veneta‘s signature hue, the bright green shade isn’t Silence Please’s foray into color. Many of the studio’s horn tweeters, have been seen in a similar green, as well as a primary red. As where before, many of the brand’s speakers have isolated the glossy finish to the tweeter and utilized diverse materials like wood and glass on the woofer, the new Hush speaker fully commits to the candy-like finish for maximum effect.
