above: fendi commercial visual (horrible execution – terrible wall paint job) i doubt if karl had much to do with this, or i’m majorly disappointed, again.
old images from “the face” with a young bookish giesel as envisioned by photographer karen collins roughly 8 years ago (with a better paint job, better girl, and better lighting!)
and of course the original edward hopper version ripped off on both… by pp + by dd

during a night in february 2008, deyrolle, the most famous taxidermist in paris, was burned down almost entirely. after the fire, the place looked like beirut and all those sublime stuffed animals were disfigured. photographers martin d’orgeval and laurent bochet documented the place, it’s beautiful and moving. by pp

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
ilove 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
some more super nice work from mary frey! see previous post if you haven’t by pp

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
