Honed at her Sunday System nights at London’s Rye Wax, Alis’ interdisciplinary practice comes to the fore on Papercuts with vocals extending far beyond their linguistical potential into a broader, more textural realm. Songs like “Status” and “BCC: me” walk the line of sonority and dissonance, nearing the precipice of abstraction without falling into the abyss. “Papercuts” and “Water” on the other hand offer a more concise narrative vision, proffering a version of hookwriting that fluctuates between meditative and commanding.
Recorded across several continents, it’s no surprise that Papercuts tends to enliven interstitial spaces and Alis’ unique disposition makes the cerebral accessible. Papercuts is out now on APR and will be available as digital EP and full color cover 12”.

TweetArtists Gilbert Prousch (born 1943, Italy) and George Passmore (born 1942, Britain) met in 1967 while studying at St. Martin’s School of Art. The following year, they moved to the East London neighborhood in which they still reside. Gilbert & George do not consider themselves collaborators, but one artist. Their practice is rooted in sculpture and performance, yet — over five decades — it has evolved to encompass photography, drawing, painting and film. Gilbert & George’s work can be aggressive and, at times, controversial. “We want our art to bring out the bigot from inside the liberal and conversely to bring out the liberal from inside the bigot,” they state.
This Spring, Supreme has worked on a collection featuring works from Gilbert & George’s 27-piece series, 1984 Pictures. During the 1980s, Gilbert & George began applying bold color to the photographic assemblages they’d developed in the early 70s. These large-scale, grid-like photomontages confront issues of the human experience ranging from religion, race and corruption to illness, sex and death. The collection consists of two Hooded Sweatshirts, three T-Shirts and three Skateboards.
Available in-store NY, Brooklyn, LA, London, Paris and online March 21st.
Available in Japan on March 23rd.

Mona Kuhn’s photography is characterized by large-scale photographs of the human body, which are often intimate and natural. American photographer Mona Kuhn (1969-present) is known for her large-scale photos of the nude human form. Mona Kuhn’s photographs draw inspiration for her work both from classical art and the desire to examine – and sometimes transform – how society views the natural human body. Much of Mona Kuhn’s photography focuses on capturing people feeling comfortable in their own skin, while still exuding a sense of dreamy beauty. Mona Kuhn is known for developing close relationships with her subjects and making them feel at ease in her presence, resulting in a unique type of playful intimacy in Mona Kuhn’s photography. The deep connections Mona Kuhn cultivates with her models not only lend a physical closeness to her work, but a sense of the emotional connections she has developed as well. Indeed, many of Mona Kuhn’s photographs manage to somehow be both whimsical and sensual at once.

The exhibition Lee Mullican: Cosmic Theater explores the late artist’s sustained interest in the universe as source material for his creative voice. Mullican was a seeker and tirelessly pursued a form of abstraction that connected nature and spirituality. Pulling from a wide range of influences he created works that found new meanings through formal explorations of composition, color, and mark making. In his conversation with Joanne Phillips from 1976, he recalled the push and pull between abstraction in the purest sense and what he explained as his “need for some kind of image.” Through a close examination of his paintings and drawings we begin to understand that these patterns, shapes, and figure-like forms reflect his deep and abiding interest in the cosmos. Mullican’s enduring quest was to create through his art a new perspective.
