DOWNHILL

Posted on 2020-01-20

A passionate tale of love and liberation set amidst the conservative confines of modern Georgian society, AND THEN WE DANCED follows Merab, a devoted dancer who has been training for years with his partner Mary for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. The arrival of another male dancer, Irakli—gifted with perfect form and equipped with a rebellious streak—throws Merab off balance, sparking both an intense rivalry and romantic desire that may cause him to risk his future in dance as well as his relationships with Mary and his family.

Chinatown Market is famed for its whimsical take on the streetwear scene. With bootleg tees and a wealth of accessories, they are one of the most revered labels in the industry right now. They have transferred their classic styling onto the Future Rider. Boasting a transparent upper, this is countered by the soft-to-the-touch suede overlays and premium leather hits to the tongue and heel counter.

Max Richter has announced a huge outdoor summer show at the stunning Royal Hospital Chelsea in West London, the home of the Chelsea Pensioners, as part of the Live At Chelsea Concert Series 2020, where he will be playing his critically acclaimed Recomposed: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons & Three Worlds: Music From Woolf Works, live.

ARNO RAFAEL MINKKINEN – 50 YEARS

Posted on 2020-01-13

Selected from his expansive oeuvre, these fifteen images encompass every decade since Minkkinen began photographing in the early 1970s and span the globe, featuring his native Finland, his later homes of New York City and Andover, Massachusetts, as well as locations ranging from China to Portugal.

Celebrating fifty years since Minkkinen embarked on his epic exploration of the central theme of his nude body in nature, the exhibition illustrates his work’s continuous capacity for innovation and self-reflection. Relying purely on the primal abilities of his own body, Minkkinen contorts his limbs into gravity defying poses that often appear physically impossible. The artist never digitally manipulates his negatives and works alone using a simple 9-second shutter release, affording him just a few moments to pose for each photograph. The resulting images are characterized by stillness and tranquility, but the process can be quite difficult or even dangerous, as Minkkinen pushes the limits of his body to capture each shot.

Opposite – 1.1.2000, Fosters Pond Millennium, 2000

Exhibition runs through to February 8th, 2020

KEITH HARING SPEAKERS BY TOYQUBE

Posted on 2020-01-13

ToyQube has collaborated with the Keith Harding Foundation and the Artestar licensing group on a modernized take on the late Keith Haring’s line of AM/FM radios first released back in 1985. The new versions transform the concept to a fully-functional multimedia speaker by taking full advantage of current technology including Bluetooth, SD card reader for MP3 playback, mini USB port and dual speakers for stereo sound. While the internals are all new and improved, the new versions retain the look and proportions (4″ high) of the originals. Available in three colorways, these will be available for pre-order from ToyQube shortly in advance of a March/April ship date.
