DAISUKE FUKUNAGA – BEAUTIFUL WORK

Posted on 2022-03-21

The exhibition is Fukunaga’s first solo exhibition outside of his native Japan.

The artworks on view feature “the worker” in active and passive states, always with a pleasant expression.

In the gallery’s large space, the exhibition’s namesake work, Beautiful Work is a frontal portrait of a pert person, perhaps a chambermaid preparing to clean up after others. Compositionally echoing Edouard Manet’s Un bar aux Folies-Bergere, Fukunaga’s ready subject contrasts to the weariness of Manet’s barmaid. In the same room, Crawler in the City is a self-portrait of the artist as a lone Google mapper, while Dance casts cart-pushing co-workers in an homage to Matisse’s icon of euphoric choreography.

Opposite – Beautiful work, 2022

Exhibition runs through to May 14th, 2022

HOLGER ZILSKE – TRANSFORMATION

Posted on 2022-03-21

A veteran of the German electronic music scene, Holger Zilske’s new single for Hypercolour most certainly doesn’t have its sound in the past, as a heady mix of electro beats, vocals and pop sensibilities mash up for a refreshing release.

A mainstay on the legendary Playhouse label (along with fellow Hypercolour collaborators Roman Flügel and Losoul), as well as numerous pseudonym projects for labels like BPitch Control and Get Physical, Zilske drops a couple of electro-tinged barnstormers on his first release of 2022.

SALEHE BEMBURY X NEW BALANCE 574 YURT

Posted on 2022-03-21

The 574 YURT takes very little from the classic 574 silhouette, completely overhauling the sneaker for an unconventional outdoor-optimized design. Uppers arrive in a mix of hairy suede, offset leather panels, and layered mesh with a functioning whistle secured to the heel of the sneakers.

The three new colorways are shown supersized in different natural backdrops including the forest, tundra, and beach, hinting at the outdoor inspirations behind each iteration.
