SUPREME X JORDAN

Posted on 2015-10-19

The Air Jordan 5 was introduced in early 1990. Evolving the series’ flight aesthetic, it was worn by Jordan for the start of the Chicago Bulls’ first championship season, setting off their first three-peat, and two successive MVP awards. As a result, the already-popular Jumpman logo would become a global pop cultural phenomenon, appearing on a range of coveted clothing and accessories as well as footwear.

To accompany the Supreme/Air Jordan 5 release, Supreme has worked with Jordan to create a new collection for Fall 2015. The collection consists of a Hooded Varsity Jacket, Coaches Jacket, Hooded Sweatshirt, Sweatpants, T-shirt and 6-Panel Hat.

Available in-store NY, LA, London and online Thursday, October 22nd.

Vladimir Milivojevich, aka Boogie, has a true Dirty Ghetto Story. A Serbian national who came to settle in New York by way of the Diversity Immigration Lottery, Boogie quickly established a name in photography through his distinct eye for capturing those on the edge of society. From being prominently featured in publications from the New York Times to Time Magazine, Boogie’s ability to photograph the life and times of eclectic subjects around the globe has earned him a spot as one of the rawest street photographers in our time.

JR- CROSSING

Posted on 2015-10-12

This showcase will feature a mix of colour prints as well as the artist’s signature wood mounted monochromatic paper pieces. Visitors will be invited to experience the world of JR through the juxtaposition of these two unique series of all new work.

The Unframed Ellis Island project seeks to commemorate the stories of millions of immigrants who entered the United States via Ellis Island. Collecting source materials from the Ellis Island archives, JR created a series of installations that bring to life the chronicles of those coming from all over the world.

In 2014 JR was invited by the New York City Ballet to create a large-scale art installation in collaboration with the Company dancers for their 2014 Art Series. Following the success of these installations, JR launched Les Bosquets in collaboration with the New York City Ballet making his debut as a choreographer. Succeeding this NYC-based ballet series, JR produced a unique photographic series of the Opéra de Paris ballet dancers shot on the roof of the Paris Opera house. JR’s new series of artworks featuring Les Bosquets draws from images of these interventions in New York and Paris.

Exhibition runs from October 16th to November 12th, 2015

BILL VIOLA – MOVING STILLNESS (MT. RAINIER)

Posted on 2015-10-12

The exhibition focusses on one monumental installation Moving Stillness (Mt. Rainier), 1979, shown for the first time since its inauguration at Media Study/Buffalo, New York. With a large body of water, environmental sound recordings and projections, Viola’s multi-faceted yet serene creation was pioneering in its mixed use of media.

Moving Stillness (Mt. Rainier) is a landmark in Viola’s meditations on the fragility of nature and our perception of its changes over time. A screen is suspended from the ceiling above a large shallow pool of water. A projector with three separate beams (one each for red, green and blue light) sends an edit of real-time footage of Mount Rainier to the surface of the water, which then bounces up to reach the rear projection screen. At periodic intervals, the water’s surface is disturbed causing the three beams of colour to separate, until finally becoming an unrecognisable pattern of form and colour. Slowly the water settles, to once more form a coherent image after the surface vibrations subside.

The solid, unmoving, reflected image of a mountain proves to be delicate and impermanent as it disintegrates at slight disturbances on the surface of the water. Presented in the gallery as a stand-alone work, this meditative installation offers a rare moment for mindful focus.

Exhibition runs through to November 21st, 2016
