For their latest Spring/Summer collection, Fred Perry once again digged deep into the vaults of British subculture, taking inspiration from the early 80s graphic movement, when art directors such as Peter Saville and Neville Brody were making a profound impact on the decade, eventually shaping its distinct look and feel.
The underlying theme manifests itself in the prevalent use of patterns, that playfully mirror the vibrance of the this amazing era. Stripes, dots and industrial knit prints add a textural depths to knits.

Born Jesus Christ Allin, G.G. Allin has been cited as “the most spectacular degenerate in rock & roll history.”
Famously depicted in Todd Phillips’ documentary “Hated,” G.G. Allin’s controversial transgressions as a musician and live performer are notorious. No artist before, or after, has come close to comparing.
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of G.G. Allin’s death in 1993, Merle Allin – brother and founding member of “The Murder Junkies,” allowed Altamont access to drawings G.G. made during his time in prison, as well as never-before-seen photographs. Merle chose his favorite images for a series of Altamont tees celebrating G.G. Allin’s extraordinary life.

Martin Usborne’s photographs focus on the ever-curious relationship between humans and other animals. The Silence of Dogs in Cars was inspired by a childhood memory of waiting in a car whilst his parents were shopping in a supermarket, and the youthful fear that they would not return.
His “photographs are haunted by questions of muteness. Through Usborne’s lens, it appears that the dog left in the car speaks volumes that we cannot (or will not) hear”.
Usborne’s book The Silence of Dogs in Cars was awarded ‘Best in Show’ in the Creative Review Photography Annual 2012. He was also the recipient of the 2009 Taylor Wessing Award at the National Portrait Gallery for his photograph “Tiger, Rag, Johnny and Emma”.
Exhibition runs from March 19th to April 27th, 2013

For over thirty years, american photographer Jim Dow has been recording the places where people enact their everyday rituals and regional traditions; petrol stations, beauty salons, pool halls, baseball stadiums, drive-thru burger bars, courtrooms, the shifting, vanishing backdrops of our daily lives. “The hundreds of pictures I have made and the thousands of miles I have travelled could be said to comprise a straight line, my interest in photography centres on its capacity for what appears to be exact description. I use photography to try to record the manifestations of human ingenuity and spirit that still remain in the everyday landscape.”
Dow earned a B.F.A. and a M.F.A. in graphic design and photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1965 and 1968 respectively. An early influence was Walker Evans’s seminal book American Photographs (1938).
Dow recalls the appeal of Evans’s razor sharp, infinitely detailed, small images of town architecture and people. What stood out was a palpable feeling of loss, pictures that seemingly read like paragraphs, even chapters in one long, complex, rich narrative. Immediately after graduate school Dow had the opportunity to work with Evans being hired to print his mentor’s photographs for a 1972 Museum of Modern Art retrospective.

The current work of Berges shows mostly deserted homes and urban street scenes, which tell the story of a long forgotten time and more recent present. Whether old-fashioned interiors, staircases or weathered walls and asphalt – the traces of transience are omnipresent. The pictures are reminiscent of his earlier works of abandoned Russian barracks and residential areas, which had to give way to the open brown coal pit and were left behind after former use by its residents.
In the works presented here, however, the subject deviates from the mere past to a transition of an ever-changing present. The old furniture and piles of left-behind objects add an almost narrative element to the fragmented interiors. The aura of a human presence is clearly felt and thus expands the recognizable signature of the artist to a more complex visual language and compositional possibilities.
Berges’ documentary style gives very personal insights of the places from his environment, which are carefully selected and recorded in a time-consuming production process with a plate camera. The highly detailed representation slows down the readability and therefore allows close observation. Shrouded in indirect daylight, these places somewhere in-between inhabited and deserted terrains convey a sense of calmness and peace. But although the works seem timeless, time is a crucial factor. These images depict traces of everyday life and the recent past in a poetic way.
