From the moment they arrive in France to compete, this team of mavericks turns an establishment of privilege and tradition on its head.

AMERICAN SILENCE – THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ROBERT ADAMS

Posted on 2022-08-29

This exhibition explores the reverential way he looks at the world around him and the almost palpable silence of his work.

Many of these photographs of the American West capture the sense of peace and harmony that the beauty of nature can instill in us—“the silence of light,” as he calls it, that he sees on the prairie, in the woods, and by the ocean. Other pictures question our silent complicity in the desecration of that beauty by consumerism, industrialization, and lack of environmental stewardship. Divided into three sections—The Gift, Our Response, and Tenancy—the exhibition features some 175 works from the artist’s most important projects and includes pictures of suburban sprawl, strip malls, highways, homes, and stores, as well as rivers, skies, the prairie, and the ocean.

Opposite – Kerstin enjoying the wind, East of Keota, Colorado, 1969

Exhibition runs through to October 2nd, 2022

CHLOÉ ROBINSON & DJ ADHD – PAX

Posted on 2022-08-29

Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD’s Steamin EP has all the markings of a club hit – hefty doses of catchy bass and jackin’ energy are thrown together on a set of four tracks at a pulse-raising 135+ bpm throughout, with a killer Four Tet mix to finish. Firstly, Chloé Robinson and DJ ADHD pull out the jack on title track Steamin, with cut-up vocals amidst 909 drums, and the bass-driven, caffeine-fuelled syncopated beats of Redbull create a stir with some seriously infectious energy on the second track. Pax leans more towards techno, but utilises the same pallette used throughout the EP of hi-hats and swung beats. Lastly, Four Tet exercises masterful control of focus using a redefined sample from the seminal ‘Pulse X’ to ramp up the energy.
