Veteran Hamburg producer Isolèe AKA minimal house producer Rajko Müller serves up another top-level two track 12” for DJ Kozè’s Pampa imprint. The label have had a solid 2015 (previous transmissions from Kompakt’s Robag Wruhme, Axel Boman and Kozè himself) and continue in a similar dubbed out ‘n deep Ibizan style here. ‘Floripa’ [sic] is classic Isoleè all tracked out bass and wyrd electronic squelch underpinning a nagging groove, where ‘Favouride’ takes a bumping minor key bass riff and lets swooshing pads, gated drums and heartbreaking synth-pads wash all over it.
TweetThis group exhibition features more than 70 works by ten artists: Claudia Angelmaier, Erica Baum, Anne Collier, Moyra Davey, Leslie Hewitt, Elad Lassry, Lisa Oppenheim, Erin Shirreff, Kathrin Sonntag, and Sara VanDerBeek. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue will examine an important new development in contemporary photography, offering an opportunity to define the concerns of a younger generation of artists and contextualize their work within the history of art and visual culture.
Drawing on the legacies of Conceptualism, these artists pursue a largely studio-based approach to still-life photography that centers on the representation of objects, often printed matter such as books, magazines, and record covers. The result is an image imbued with poetic and evocative personal significance—a sort of displaced self-portraiture—that resonates with larger cultural and historical meanings. Driven by a profound engagement with the medium of photography, these artists investigate the nature, traditions, and magic of photography at a moment characterized by rapid digital transformation. They attempt to rematerialize the photograph through meticulous printing, using film and other disappearing photo technologies, and creating artist’s books, installations, and photo-sculptures. While they are invested in exploring the processes, supports, and techniques of photography, they are also deeply interested in how photographic images circulate. Theirs is a sort of “photo poetics,” an art that self-consciously investigates the laws of photography and the nature of photographic representation, reproduction, and the photographic object.

TweetFrom early vanguard constructivist works by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, to the modernist images of Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet photographers played a pivotal role in the history of photography. Covering the period from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution through the 1930s, this exhibition explores how early modernist photography influenced a new Soviet style while energizing and expanding the nature of the medium — and how photography, film, and poster art were later harnessed to disseminate Communist ideology. The Power of Pictures revisits this moment in history when artists acted as engines of social change and radical political engagement, so that art and politics went hand in hand.
Opposite – Alexander Rodchenko, Stairs, 1929–30

Supreme have worked with photographer David Sims on an exclusive project documenting their team riders Tyshawn Jones, Sage Elsesser, Sean Pablo and Aidan Mackey, and will be releasing this as a hardcover book. Shot in New York, the images take in a range of set-ups, both on location and in the studio, steering away from typical skate photography to offer a unique take on American youth.
David Sims was central to an insurgent moment in fashion photography in the early nineties. Alongside Juergen Teller, Corinne Day and Wolfgang Tillmans, he helped define a new soulfulness in fashion imagery. Stripping back the glamour and luxury of the supermodel era, through their filter, photography began to shift towards a renewed honesty with direct and raw images.
Sims became an influential voice in fashion working on campaigns and projects with Raf Simons, Calvin Klein, Helmut Lang, Prada and Yohji Yamamoto. His editorial work saw him deliver seminal magazine covers capturing two icons who shaped the nineties, with Kurt Cobain in The Face (September 1993), and Kate Moss for i-D (February 1996).
Moving away from his minimal earlier style, recently his work for Arena Homme+ magazine has taken on a more nebulous palette, enriching this with a lo-fi approach which further adds to his powerful ongoing vision.
