BAIT X ASTRO BOY X LOUIS DE GUZMAN

Posted on 2021-12-20

The collection features a lineup of apparel items, including black and white T-shirts and tote bags, all bearing Astro Boy graphics. The geometric abstraction art style is reminiscent of the previously showcased ATOM VS. ASTRO sculpture and reflects De Guzman’s knack for fusing traditional and experimental techniques.

Available in monochrome and multi-color, the designs are said to convey the message that “the true beauty of life lies within the chaos, and that moving freely will lead you to your true purpose.” In De Guzman’s words, they “[depict] the importance of self-discovery.”

DALI MURU & THE POLYPHONIC SWARM – BOM BOM BOW

Posted on 2021-12-20

“We drew a map of the road trip together. A green line from Bambi across the Danube to the
Carpathians. A fairy tale animated in technicolour, unfolding in slow motion. All protagonists hovered slightly off the ground. The soundtrack of Transcarpathia and a whirling unresolved hum. A disembodied camera flies thru a bartak forest; it sinks down on a nest of wild mugwort…”

DONALD JUDD – PAINTINGS 1959–1961

Posted on 2021-12-13

While Judd’s oeuvre is defined principally through his three-dimensional work—which he conceived in opposition to the essential properties of both conventional painting and sculpture—he began his practice as a painter while also taking graduate courses in art history at Columbia University in New York. In addition, he supported himself as a critic: beginning in 1959, and continuing for the next five years, he wrote prolifically for Art News and Arts Magazine, publishing incisive essays and reviews of contemporary art during a momentous era. Judd’s paintings make manifest the understanding of postwar modernism that he articulated in his writing.

Opposite – Untitled, 1960

THE LAUREATE

Posted on 2021-12-13

Set against the glamorous backdrop of Britain’s roaring ’20s, The Laureate tells the story of young British War Poet Robert Graves, who is married with four children when he meets and becomes romantically involved with Laura Riding, a writer from America. Defying the conventions of polite society, Riding moves in with Graves and his wife living as a menage a tois. Then with the arrival of strappingly handsome Irish poet Geoffrey Phibbs, the arrangement becomes a menage a quatre. But soon tensions and rivalries become so fraught that Graves is a suspect for attempted murder.
