Opening Ceremony

Awesome interview by Spike Jonze with Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony




New York Trip. Marta Edit.

Just saw your post Ryan! Super sweet.

Just wanted to say I'm effin' excited, I've been to Dia Beacon a couple of years ago, and it was awesome. The space is amazing, and you get to see a bit of New York state on the train ride up.

Also, I'm also excited to see Elaine Cameron-Weir and our dear friend Amber of Make Believe that I haven't seen in ages. AND Ryan's djing the Rub, and Pianos and one more place that I can't remember. That, and all the Greenpoint Polish food we can eat. YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!




New York Trip.

Marta and I are going to NYC in May and we are really gonna art it up. We are both already super excited and its only a month away. I am really excited for the art. Here's a preview of the trip!!
The Whitney. Last time we went to the Whitney I was tired and a bit burnt out from art school so I shitted on it. But now I am back in the swing of things and am ready to roll in. Nice building and the Biennial is on so its going to be big.



P.S.1 Really excited for this one. On our first trip we walked by it, but it was Sunday and at night so we couldn't go in. They do big ass parties here during the summer and they look cool. Plus its in Queens and I haven't been there much so it's going to be fun.
New Museum. I have walked by it lots but have never been in it. Such a cool building and the art looks really cutting edge. They have some really nice shows lined up for when were there which is really exciting.

MOMA. The area that Moma is in is definitely not my favorite but the stuff they have is amazing. A big highlight from our last trip was the design section which is so amazing. I'm ready to see what they're showing this time around. Also they have a big flat couch on the lobby so if your exhausted you can lie down for abit.
The Gugg. Its a really nice building but the space interferes with the viewing process. It was one of my least favorites but they did have a show by Louise Bourgeois and she is so awesome, so I am complaining for nothing.
Deitch Projects. This has been one of the stand outs on everyone of our trips. The space is amazing and it has the coolest shows I have even seen. I heard they are not doing it much longer which will be a shame. Chris Johanson's show that was on the first time we went to New York was amazing(best ever). This place is a must see for anybody into the next generation of big artists.NYU Grad Show. My friend Elaine Cameron-Weir is graduating from NYU this year. She was the first person I ever stayed with in NYC and she is so cool. She is the best artist that I know personally. Its an easy thing to say but she really is on some next level shit. I foresee a big future for her and she most defiantly deserves it. Also she bought a car so we will be rolling deep in Brooklyn. In a Jaguar no less.
Dia Beacon. It's in upstate New York and I have no idea what to expect but I've never heard anyone complain, ever. This is going to be a journey of epic proportions and I will do a post once we get back!!!

Magazines!

Some new magazines I'm super excited about, I really like the direction independent publishing is going in, and surprisingly most of the covers are in black & white!

I recently came across Bad Day while on a trip in Toronto, super awesome small Canadian publication.

Encens is also a new favourite, essentially put together by just 2 people in Paris and featuring mostly one (Polish!) model, it's a stylist wet dream. I've been stalking the magazine store for weeks, and finally got the newest issue the other say.

I'm super excited about Gentlewoman too, it's the female equivalent of Fantastic Man Magazine, which is amazing. Can't wait til it comes out!

Haven't seen Grey in person yet, but judging by the covers, I know I'm gonna love it. The Last Magazine comes in a super large newspaper format, and it printed on beautiful paper.

ARKTIP Magazine




Peter Saville


KAWS
Steven Harrington
Supreme
Kevin Lyons


This is the coolest magazines there is. It is very expensive but each one is signed and a limited edition. Some of them easy to get and some are impossible. They treat each magazine as if it is a curated art show. They select an artist or brand and they get to take over the magazine making for some seriously cool stuff!!. I will start buying them I promise! ARKTIP
