INSTA360 ACE PRO 2

Posted on 2024-11-04

Insta360 has updated its Ace action camera series with the launch of the new Insta360 Ace Pro 2, building on its partnership with Leica from last year.

The Ace Pro 2 features an upgraded 1/1.3” 8K sensor that provides 13.5 stops of dynamic range, making it capable of handling the most challenging light situations. Its lens is made by Leica, a Leica Summarit lens with a 157-degree field of view.

There’s a new Wind Guard that helps to keep wind and other external noise at a minimum, as well as a new and removable Lens Guard that will help to provide users with peace of mind. Both of these accessories can be attached to and removed from the camera with ease thanks to its magnetic mounting system. The Ace Pro 2 features a new, bigger 1800mAh battery for longer shooting, as well as new modes such as Endurance Mode that further help to extend battery life between charges, providing “50% longer runtime at 4K 30fps” over the previous model, according to Insta360 .

JEROME CAJA – UGLY PAGEANT

Posted on 2024-11-04

Jerome’s midwestern Catholic school upbringing was foundational to both the physical and representational aspects of his work from the late eighties until his untimely death due to complications from AIDS in 1995. Caja’s paintings, intimate in scale and primarily composed in nail polish and glitter on found materials like plastic tip trays or scraps of wood, lace, and other refuse, often resemble Catholic miniatures, icons, or reliquaries, depicting saints and other figures in bawdy, grotesque scenes.

Opposite – The Rose Bikini, 1990

Exhibition runs through to December 19th, 2024

LAURA AGUILAR – NUDES IN NATURE

Posted on 2024-11-04

Born and raised in California’s San Gabriel Valley, Laura Aguilar created photographic representations of historically excluded and marginalized groups of women from various communities across Los Angeles. She eventually turned the camera on herself to consider the multitude of factors that defined her own identity as a Chicana and a lesbian who lived in poverty and with depression and learning disabilities.

Later in her career, Aguilar began to capture intimate portraits of nude, large-bodied women in natural settings. She created various series within this framework to highlight the inherent connections between nature and the female form.

Opposite – Motion #59, 1999

DENIM TEARS X CACTUS PLANT FLEA MARKET

Posted on 2024-11-04

The collaborative capsule is titled “Cactus Tears” and takes inspiration from James Baldwin’s Another Country, a 1962-released novel in which which protagonist Rufus Scott, is a symbol of Black American suffering. This has led to the collection coming with many more layers than what might meet the eye. For example, the capsule aims to encapsulate a slew of the novel’s themes into the line, as Pan-African bandanas are dressed in smiley faces.

CAITLIN KEOGH – PROCESSION

Posted on 2024-11-04

Keogh’s fourth solo exhibition at Bortolami, titled Procession, is itself a generous conversation and act of devotion featuring a cavalcade of images unfurling over eight paintings. To make the works, Keogh pored through hundreds of the images mailed to her, searching for ones whose emotional tone she was drawn to. She looked for unfamiliar images, unburdened by iconic status or overdetermined historical narratives that felt open to interpretation. They were pictures that, to many people in our era of media saturation and aesthetic amnesia, could only be described loosely as “classical” or “historical,” making their beauty, mystery, or strangeness all the more potent for generating associative responses. Keogh was interested in how the images in her pile spoke to her and to one another, and, in turn, how they would speak to viewers encountering them through the language of her painting.

BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB PRE-SPRING 2025

Posted on 2024-11-04

The label’s latest lineup of apparel leans into an array of captivating colorways, prints and patterns – those that evoke the current cold-weather energy, and others that look ahead to summer’s more tropical temperatures.

Elsewhere, a Mountain Cycling Top takes cues from motocross wear, defined by its all-over multicolor print with a zip closure at the neck and Billionaire Boys Club logos on the front chest, sleeves and back.

The warm weather energy is channeled across a delivery of “Tropical” graphics, including a Tropical Island Print Football Top and two logoed graphic t-shirts.
