Richardson teams up with Chiyonofuji Mitsugu for a Capsule Collection.
Chiyonofuji Mitsugu (June 1, 1955 – July 31, 2016) was a Japanese champion sumo wrestler and the 58th yokozuna of the sport. Chiyonofuji was considered one of the greatest Yokozuna of recent times because of his smaller size and aggressive spirit, winning 31 tournament championships while holding sumo’s top rank for a ten year period from 1981 to 1991.

The exhibition City of Stars marks a major turning point in the artistic and conceptual practice of Rodrigo Matheus, who has been based in France for the last four years. The title comes from a brutalist architectonic complex called “La cité des Etoiles,” realized between 1976 and 1982 by Jean Renaudie (1925-1981), within the scope of revitalizing the city of Givors. Drawing inspiration from the French architect’s work, Rodrigo Matheus presents us with an immersive exhibition.
Rodrigo Matheus, imbued by Brazilian brutalist architecture, wished to create works that would fluctuate between an homage to and an interrogation on this architecture in France. In this exhibition, he reflects on the suburb as a space of social construction and creativity, dear to Jean Renaudie.

A universal story of friendship, rebellion, and the irresistible power of gathering youth, set to the soundtrack as eclectic and electrifying as the scene it gave birth to, BEATS is a story for our time.
