TweetEach a photographic pioneer in his own right, Adams is well known for majestic black and white landscapes of the American west while Krantz occupies a unique place in the history of contemporary art for his western images that have become iconic depictions of American popular culture.
The Adams/Krantz pairing is not without reason as Krantz studied with Adams in the mid ’70’s, where Adams taught workshops from his home. Driving from Omaha, Nebraska to Carmel at the age of 18 to study with the master, Krantz attended multiple week long workshops throughout his college years and was one of Adams’ most promising students. Becoming a full-time professional photographer at the age of 22, and one of America’s most successful commercial photographers by the age of 30, Krantz credits Adams for his attention to light and composition.
Krantz remembers Adams telling him one thing in particular: “Technical proficiency leads to artistic freedom”. While the unpredictable elements of a photograph were (to a large extent) the weather for Adams and action for Krantz, pre-visualizing the final image, composition, and perspective was key for both photographers. A strong point of commonality for the two men is that each sought the mythological moment in the real while pushing the boundaries of their medium with the emotive and technical quality of their negatives and prints.

The photography of Nan Goldin offers audiences a kaleidoscopic narrative of the breadth of the human experience. Beginning in the 1970s and continuing to the present, Goldin captures her world as it unfolds before her, resulting in a diaristic account of her life and the people and places that define it. Treating her camera as an extension of her own body, “creating a history by recording a history,” Goldin shields her memories from revision or erasure by preserving them permanently in photographic form. The result is an unvarnished, intimate, and honest glimpse into a full life that has played out in New York City, Boston, Provincetown, and abroad, against the backdrops of nightclubs and drag bars, hotel rooms and hospitals, and more. By experiencing Goldin’s work, we bear witness to her reality and that of the people who inhabited her evolving surroundings, with whom she formed a kind of alternate family—a chosen family. The intimacy of the photographs not only provide a window into the lives that surrounded Goldin, but validate the many twists, turns, and paths that occur in all of our lives, resulting in a deeply personal, yet resoundingly universal experience of art and humanity.

Titled Deep Roots, this exhibition, in the form of a retrospective, covers the artist’s full career from his first colour photographs in 1992 until his most recent and unseen self-portraits.
An impassioned admirer of the seventh art, Youssef Nabil was born in Cairo in 1972 and deeply marked by the aesthetic of the golden years of Egyptian cinema during the 1940s and ’50s. All his work venerates, while also reviving, this “belle époque” of the East, magnified by cinema and its sequins and velvety-eyed stars. This nostalgia-tinted zeal has haunted him since the childhood he spent in the streets of the Egyptian capital, during the period they were lined with posters glorifying his idols.
As the young boy dreamed of his life in Technicolor, he became aware that the actors and actresses that he worshipped were either no longer of this world or ageing. This awareness stimulated the irrepressible desire in him to meet and immortalise those who were still living, an ambition that took material form in the creation of an imaginary reality that continues to run through his work. By awakening the flamboyant ghosts of Egypt’s pre- revolutionary films, Youssef Nabil reflects on the paradoxes of the Middle East today, in which freedoms have dangerously lost ground to religious fundamentalism on all sides.

An evolution of the original Crazy 1 basketball silhouette, the Crazy 1 ADV features a streamlined, minimalist design with a neoprene sock-fit construction for optimum comfort and fit. This latest release is distinguished by its Primeknit upper in two iterations; all over black and metallic yarn to imitate the look of medieval chainmail armor, both silhouettes feature black accents on the heel and tongue, placed atop a black sole unit.
This then finished with a trefoil branding detail on the tongue, while a branded leather insert in the outsole completes the picture. The result is a daring reinvention of the Crazy 1 ADV that takes inspiration from the past to create a distinctly futuristic release.
