BAD BRAINS X ELEMENT

Posted on 2020-03-02

Element joins forces with punk legends Bad Brains, on a collaborative collection celebrating the impact the band has made within music and far outside of it. Just as Element aims to be a positive force in skateboarding, Bad Brains unflinchingly stepped into a scene that was known for violence and intolerance and brought with them an entirely new set of rules with their consistent message of ‘PMA’ – Positive Mental Attitude!

In Mid-Sentence

Posted on 2020-03-02

Photographs are often replete with words that remain unheard. “In Mid-Sentence” presents a selection of photographs from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery’s collection that depict moments of communication: intimate confessions, public speeches, exchanged jokes, political confrontations, lectures and more. Photographs featured in this exhibition encapsulate pivotal moments, such as John F. Kennedy’s televised speech for the 1960 Democratic National Convention or Walter Cronkite’s clandestine 1971 meeting with Daniel Ellsberg at the time of the publication of the “Pentagon Papers.” The exhibition provides the missing script for these otherwise silent voices, granting another means for understanding these interactions by placing them within their socio-historical contexts.

Opposite – Angela Davis by Stephen Shames, 1969

Exhibition runs through to March 8th, 2020

FRANK FOURNIER – RED EYE – SEVENTIES NEW YORK

Posted on 2020-03-02

As a young medical student, Frank Fournier set his studies aside and traveled from France to New York City in 1975 with the intention of pursuing photojournalism and covering current events that interested him. Upon arriving in NYC, he spent his first several years assisting photographers and picking up odd jobs to be a part of the working environment with hopes of landing more photographic opportunities. Although he appreciated Paris, he felt there were more professional opportunities in NYC where he fell under the spell of Time and Life Magazines. He joined the staff of Contact Press Images in 1977 and became a member photographer in 1982.

The photographs that comprise Red Eye – Seventies New York were made after Frank Fournier’s arrival into the united states during a time when New York City was on the verge of bankruptcy and going through a major transition due to many years of fiscal mismanagement, deteriorating infrastructure, the NYPD police strike and the famous blackout of 1977.

Exhibition runs through to March 28th, 2020
