ADIDAS SPEZIAL AND LIAM GALLAGHER

Posted on 2022-04-25

Herzogenaurach, April 27th, 2022 – Brought together through their enduring cultural legacies, on April 27th, adidas Spezial and Liam Gallagher are set to reignite their long standing relationship with an exclusive concert at Blackburn’s King George’s Hall.

A lifelong fan of the Three-Stripes, Liam Gallagher has stayed loyal to the brand throughout his career, nurturing a close friendship with Spezial founder, Gary Aspden along the way. An authentic relationship that has naturally flourished over the past two decades, Liam and Gary have worked together on a number of projects, including the launch of their first collaborative silhouette – the LG SPZL – in 2019.

Presented and made possible by adidas Spezial, the King George’s Hall Concert represents the latest official collaborative endeavor between the two figureheads. Recognised as the birthplace of Spezial, April 27th will be the first time that Liam has ever performed in Blackburn. Intimate, exclusive, and undeniably rooted in culture, the event anticipates the arrival of Liam’s third solo album on May 27th and has been organized in partnership with Nightsafe, a charity supporting young homeless people in the Blackburn and Darwen area.
During the concert Liam will also be debuting a brand new collaborative silhouette on stage – the LG II SPZL – which is set to arrive later this year. Blending the timeless elegance of classic archival styles with the artist’s inimitable perspective, the new shoe is a true celebration of heritage and musical legacy.
“I’m glad to announce my new collaboration with adidas Spezial” said Liam Gallagher. “It’s our take on the one and only Barrington Smash and it’s absolutely incredible. And if that’s not enough to blow your wig off, I’m going to be playing The King George’s Hall in Blackburn, Lancashire. All proceeds from the gig will be in aid of Nightsafe, a local homeless charity”.

Those wishing to attend the concert are invited to enter the draw on CONFIRMED – starting from 3PM, April 19th – for access to tickets.

ROBERT AMES & BEN CORRIGAN – SPACE HOPPER

Posted on 2022-04-25

CARBS contains multitudes, as the kaleidoscopic artwork might suggest. The debut collaborative album from British contemporary classical composers Robert Ames and Ben Corrigan doesn’t seek to create something singular, with a cohesive thread running through, but rather to explore as much as possible. CARBS travels playfully through countless musical worlds, as both artists have been witness to throughout their careers, with Corrigan’s award winning podcast “excuse the mess”, and Ames’ work in co-directing the London Contemporary Orchestra.

ACTUAL SIZE! PHOTOGRAPHY AT LIFE SCALE

Posted on 2022-04-25

Actual Size! Photography at Life Scale explores what happens when a photograph is the very same size as its subject matter-when a photograph of a bus is the size of a bus, when a photograph of Muhammad Ali’s fist is its actual size, when a postcard of hail stones records their sizes for posterity. Image makers of every kind, from fine artists to advertisers, have explored the strange magic that happens when the photograph becomes an uncanny double for the world it depicts. Works by Ace Lehner, Laura Letinsky, Kija Lucas, Tanya Marcuse, Aspen Mays, Jeff Wall and others share the walls with anonymous posters, magazine spreads, and book covers.

Opposite – Schindly Photo, HAIL STORM, Sunbury PA., June 18, 1910, 1910

Exhibition runs through to May 2nd, 2022
