STREET WARS JACKETS TRIO FROM FATOH X DKE TOYS

Posted on 2020-04-06

Fatoh has sent his recurring puffy jacket flair into orbit with the new trio of Street Wars ‘Jackets’ resin action figures featuring Vader, Royal Guard and Yoda. Each jacket-forward, urban take is hilarious and over-the-top, particularly Vader who’s dwarfed by his ginormous jacket and the Royal Guard with 100% puffy cloak. Each comes in the traditional card + blister packaging.

DKE Toys has released the Street Wars Trio as a 3-figure set for $200/set. To purchase, drop them a DM.

DEBORAH BROWN – PARTS UNKNOWN

Posted on 2020-04-06

Deborah Brown’s paintings begin in her imagination and explore her own personal truth. Women, stripped of their protective and identifying clothing, navigate familiar landscapes as if in a dream. Their nudity makes them seem simultaneously vulnerable and powerful, as if they have returned to elemental or archaic origins.

The female protagonists occupy a variety of spaces—walking on an ominous beach, journeying through the forest, paddling canoes, far from the quotidian activities of civilization. The presence of canine companions implies a departure or exile from a domestic setting, as well as an unseen threat that might require their protective services. Using the ever-complicated but recognizable nude female form, at times expressive, in others stoic, the artist manages to capture a moment of internal analysis still unresolved, leaving the viewer to ponder the impending story-line.⁣⁣⁣⁣

STEVE FARRER – SWINGEING LONDON, 1974

Posted on 2020-04-06

First film made at art school, primarily painting and sculpture, a strategy to concentrate on film-making as the focus of my practice after being introduced to the London Film Makers Co-Op cinema and workshop in my first year.
The film had to be made without a camera, handprinted as per course activity, a photosilkscreen project as a movie, and appropriated from Pathé news footage of Mick Jagger and Robert Fraser being taken before the court over drug charges, the material lifted from an Arts Council Documentary about Richard Hamilton, the 16mm movie documentary footage being transferred onto a photo silkscreen, both negative and positive imprints were made and then printed onto bleached 16mm film salvaged from the Wardour Street bins.
