martin creed – down up over

terence koh loves and loved by converse
this may not be new news, as i believe these special edition all-white-leather hightop all stars from converse by terence koh came out in march, but i still had to share. a minimalist rendition of the classic. shoes feature a square back, seamless edges, super smoothed body, and crisp leather laces. a percentage of the purchase is contributed to the 1hund(red) campaign to fight aids in africa. and only $150, and only available in white. oh right, and if you want, you can order them here. by kl
Bas Jan Ader : PITFALL ON THE WAY TO A NEW NEO-PLASTICISM
i love when art is simple, and about the thought, action and discovery more than just the execution, and this is why bas jan ader is one of my all time favorites. above you see him bring the theory of neoplasticism into his modern day… the belief that art should not be the reproduction of real objects, but the expression of the absolutes of life, and what is more important to discovery than the absolutes of life?
establishing in the 1910’s, the original neoplasticists were piet mondrian and theo van doesburg. they believed that the only absolutes of life were vertical and horizontal lines and the primary colors. to this end neoplasticists only used planar elements and the colors red, yellow, and blue. thank goodness this perspective evolved off of the canvas, and surely brought us conceptual art. by kl

Harrier and Jaguar by Fionna Banner
i came across a recent commission of fionna banner by the tate britain. i must admit that i was unaware of her work before and feel like i’ve walked into a world i’ve been missing out on. her fascination with the emblem of the fighter plane gives us these elegant arrangements. she sees them as the ‘opposite of language’, used when communication fails …”harrier and jaguar remain ambiugous objects implying both captured beast and fallen trophy.” if you’re in london you can catch this exhibition until january 1011. i will definitely be exploring more of this delicately abrasive artists work. by kl
jsbj – je suis une bande de jeunes
jsbj self publish fanzine-like books of photographers. it’s so nice and powerful that it’s making me feel bad about not doing this kind of things. of course everything is out of print so forget about owning a print but i will be on the starting block for the next one. moving! by pp
warhol – all time fav’
few posts ago, i was talking about mr lichtenstein and how i was mostly attracted to the more confidential work of his (if we can say so). so i have the same feelings for andy’s, the first works, the ones that are not re-printed on bags, socks, umbrellas and so on, still feel really fresh. love when it’s not to produced. i won’t do a third post but i feel the same for the beatles… by pp’

anonymous gem – beaubourg
i shot this piece of beauty in beaubourg at the “dreamland” exhibition (sorry for the bad crop). the rest of the show is pretty lame but this is a real gem. it’s from 1930 and anonymous, i would bet that was an inspiration for some of the most iconic shots from solve sundsbo. love it! by dns + pp
