From Miami 05/19/09The Main Street Card Shop permalinkSadly, the greeting cards that Bruce Weber created for V Man don’t really exist. But if they did, we’d definitely be sending grandma some male on her birthday. (Via Refinery 29.) |
From Miami 04/10/09Scott Campbell at O.H.W.O.W. permalinkAs ubiquitous as Scott Campbell’s perfectly-wrought scrawl is, it’s kind of surprising that he’s never had a solo art show before. But he hasn’t, until this weekend, when Make It Rain opens at O.H.W.O.W. The show includes drawings, photography, sculpture and paintings, and there’s a good chance that many of the guests will also be exhibiting Campbell’s work. |
From Miami 12/18/08O.H.W.O.W. permalinkIf you weren’t able to attend Art Basel and want to see what you really missed out on, O.H.W.O.W. have launched their web site detailing all the artists and bands that were featured during the week long (It Ain’t) Fair at their new Miami gallery. Cooler still is that you can finally find that giant Aurel Schmidt poster you were looking for. X, Jen

From Miami 12/08/08Works On Whatever permalinkThe cheapest find to come across during Art Basel was these incredibly beautiful artist beach towels offered up by Works On Whatever. Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Peyton (who is Marc Jacobs’ absolute favorite) and Marilyn Minter were just a few of the creative minds whose towels I’m sure more than a few people will treat like a tapestry and hang up on their walls now that the fair is over.

From Miami 12/03/08O.H.W.O.W. permalinkIf you missed last night’s opening, you can still catch Aaron Bondaroff and Al Moran’s O.H.W.O.W. show at Art Basel. The show and its list of curators read like a list of who’s who hipster gliterrati: Tim Barber, Terence Koh, Scott Campbell, Kenneth Cappello, Aurel Schmidt, and the Snows, Dash and Agathe themselves, amongst many others. The show runs through Dec. 7, with special book signings, screenings or performances each night. Go for the Grolsch and stay for the art, or vice-versa. |

Cat Power + Early Spring 2008 permalinkCat Power let us use a track (Metal Heart) from her soon-to-be-released Jukebox CD to set the mood for our Early Spring ‘08 catalog video. If you’re wondering why this post is from Miami, as opposed to say, NYC or North Carolina, that’s ‘cause it says so on her MySpace. |

Style For Miles permalinkIf we could only airbrush that crowd out it’d be the perfect shot. But we’ll take what we can get. Alan Gelfand, 1980, a non-signature frontside air, the camo Mad Rats and a mag in the front, all captured by the unflinching eye of Mr. Ted Terrebonne.
