10 Years of Obsession Event Recap

December 9th, 2010  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: events, sneakers  •   2 Comments

Last week a party was held to celebrate the Nike x Size? 10 Years of Obsession collection and the much anticipated Air Stab release, which sadly was just a sample from 2005’s Dave White x Nike ‘Neon Pack’. The Air Gallery on London’s Dover Street hosted show, which was attended by Dave White himself, who painted a mural to commemorate the event. The mural itself was broken up into 100 pieces, which were handed out to those attendees lucky enough to teg one.

Josh Keyes ‘Fragment’ Exhibit

Josh Keyes opened his newest solo show Saturday night at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. Entitled Fragment, the exhibit continues to expand upon his signature aesthetic.

Rendered in clean, controlled and finely detailed realism, the paintings in Fragment feature various wildlife species isolated within habitats that foreshadow a theoretically dystopian fate. These fragmented landscapes are surrounded by a sea of empty white space, representing the universal unknown in an allegorical interpretation of the effect of contemporary civilization’s disconnect from nature.

The show runs until February 13th.

Alex Prager ‘Week-End’ Exhibit Preview

The culmination of a trilogy that began with Polyester and The Big Valley, Alex Prager’s Week-End began as organically as her other series. Inspired by the high drama of classic movies—which, despite their theatricality, touch upon genuine emotions of alienation, fear, anger, longing, and lust—Prager’s images seem at first to be all exquisite surface. However the girls of this series— named “Barbara”, “Jane”, “Lois” and other such conventional and slightly old-fashioned monikers— conceal pain beneath their lipstick-lined smiles and dead eyes. Prager’s work exudes an underlying sense of the eerie monotony and unease that can permeate beneath the surface of beauty and the promise of happiness. Week-End runs from January 30th through March 6th, 2010 at Hollywood’s M+B.

After three years, Ben Frost makes his return to the gallery circuit with a new exhibit at Sydney’s Boutwell Draper Gallery. Entitled Lost in the Supermarket (a reference to Clash’s song of the same name), the exhibit “remarks on the over stimulation, confusion and daily hypnosis we are trapped by, as we struggle to stand still on a buzzing psychedelic landscape of brands, identities and social demands”. The show runs from November 26th until December 19th.
