What's the vibe? #54
Supreme is collaborating with MM6.
Cote D'Ivoire won AFCON on Sunday.
2024 LVMH Semi Finalists have been announced.
NYFW FW24:
I think this is slowly becoming my favourite Fashion Week - away from the hype and conglomerate madness, it's about the weird, the experimental.
INTERVENTION: Mall of Anonymous (Berlin btw)
by Shayne Oliver featuring Anonymous Club, Olly Shinder `refucked by NOVACAINE,´ a selection of Hood By Air ‘MUSEUM’ archive pieces and Gerrit Jacob. Presented by Reference Studios as part of Berlin Fashion Week, set design by Tor Studio.
Sandy Liang - 10th year anniversary of the brand - it's about going from girlhood to womanhood
Helmut Lang - again Peter creates another collection about the immigrant experience - the Ghana Must Go prints, the bubble wrap texture, the body as a travelling vessel - protect and project
Collina Strada - titled "STRONGER" - pushing back against maybe weaker depictions of women
Proenza Schouler
Eckhaus Latta - beauty by Daniel Sallstrom
About the self - some text from their show notes
"YOU ARE A LOGO
BE THE LOGO
MAYBE YES MAYBE NO
I WANT TO PREACH WITHOUT SPEAKING
AND NO LONGER FEEL
THE TIGHTENING OF MY CHEST
WHEN THE IDEA OF TIME
COMES INTO MY BODY
HOLDING THE DOOR FOR A GHOST
IN THE TECHNOCRACY
IT IS ALL SPINNING
THE HOLES ARE GOOD
(HOW MANY HOLES IS TOO MANY HOLES?)
YOU LIKE THESE HOLES?"
Things to look forward to culturally?
Beyonce! Going cowboy!
Museum as performance space - gaining legitimacy in one of a kind performances in a unique setting. I guess similar to what the ICA are doing but they're getting the good stuff in terms of curation.
I think that alongside the high costs of everything, the audience that artists have to deal with today are much more either segregated class-wise or not used to seeing continuous art and being able to evaluate it/ seeing it as a "little treat". (see for example: The TikTok kids who saw Steve Lacy or Mitski's current tour) For example, think of any major exhibition today in the UK and the cost of tickets usually range between £16-20 esp London. Meaning people usually see the extremely popular things that have been tried and tested and the more experimental/local/DIY things are left behind. It also means that the general public's tolerance for maybe I'd say the "Avant Garde" has decreased over the past 10 years. If TV is the most accessible medium, think about what's on regular tv sans Netflix (which is already extremely sanitised)...there's this extreme lack of maybe kooky music/culture programming that explores and interviews artists of the day in an accessible way or just regular toned programming which allows people to know about each other (See Raven's Row exhibition from last year?)
Things coming up this year:
