The legendary Casio company was kind enough to treat Wood Wood to their very own G-Shock. They kept the face simple, with nothing more than an embossed W.W. changed up front – though the band is quite ornate with a wrap-around “W” hand sign. Only 15 pieces in the whole wide world. Keep an eye on Wood Wood’s current page for updates on the release. Another look at the Casio x Wood Wood G-Shock after the click.

Fresh from the colette oven are new tees from Hype Means Nothing. This time around, instead of celebrities and pop culture icons, the label turned to Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Both men worked together and created more than a hundred paintings over a year’s time, where sixteen of those works were showcased at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1985. In terms of their creative process, Warhol would trace corporate logos, newspaper texts and such found images using an opaque projector, then Basquiat would make his mark by painting over and in-between the reproduced images. As Keith Haring mentioned, the duo’s work is a  “a physical conversation happening in paint instead of words”. Drawing on the dynamics of both artists, Hype Means Nothing created two tees with Basquiat and Warhol donning the label’s signature hand eye glasses. Working on cult icons and images, there is a striking similarity between the artists’ works and the label. The tees are now available in two colorways each (Black and white) at colette.

Philippines-base art trope CollisionTheory returns to the scene with aggression, quite literally, over the weekend.  Commissioned by Nike and Nike Philippines the man behind CollisionTheory, AJ Dimarucot, created a portrait of the Filipino national hero, boxer Manny Pacquiao.  The larger than life illustration served as the boxing ring mat for an invite-only viewing party hosted by Nike for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto match Saturday evening.  A collage of symbolism in Pacquiao’s life, from the Philippine Eagle, personal stats, to championship belts and trainer Freddie Roach, all formed a resemblance of Pacquiao.  The canvas then went through a top-down splatter application in blood red paint.  Making the installation a hallowing effigy of the World Champion.

ORDAN BRAND LAUNCHES THE AIR JORDAN 2010
Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

BEAVERTON, OR (November 11, 2009) – Today, Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc., announced the upcoming launch of its 25th anniversary AIR JORDAN 2010 shoe. Celebrating a quarter-century of innovative design and genre-inspiring style, Jordan Brand created the AIR JORDAN 2010 to pay respect to the legacy of Michael Jordan in basketball while passing on the heritage of the sport to the talented Team Jordan athletes, such as Dwyane Wade, who will be the first to debut the AIR JORDAN 2010.

“The celebration of the AIR JORDAN 2010 and our 25th anniversary are the pinnacle of a year full of milestones for me,” said Michael Jordan. “With each shoe, consumers have pushed me to take the next AIR JORDAN beyond their wildest imagination. The AIR JORDAN 2010 marks the future of Jordan Brand and proves there are no limits to what this Brand is capable of creating.”

Acclaimed shoe designers Tinker Hatfield, Vice President of Special Projects/Design for NIKE and Mark Smith, Creative Director for Jordan Brand, collaborated with Michael Jordan on the AIR JORDAN 2010, taking the literal interpretation of Jordan’s ability to see through his opponents by creating the Brand’s first see-through performance basketball shoe featuring a unique transparent thermoplastic urethane (TPU) window.

“The AIR JORDAN 2010 pays homage to Jordan’s ability to know his opponents next move while only giving hints of his ability and allowing the players to only see what he wanted them to see on the court,” said Tinker Hatfield. “His keen instinct for anticipating his challengers’ next move and disguising his own techniques are just a few of the attributes that led to him being named the greatest basketball player ever to play the game.”

To assist all basketball players’ game while wearing the shoe, Hatfield and Smith also designed the AIR JORDAN 2010 with a revolutionary new concept to performance basketball footwear – a layered toe construction that has an independent forefoot support cover. This innovative design technique allows the AIR JORDAN 2010 to mimic an actual foot’s flexibility and movement without being restricted by the shoe’s structures, assisting in a player’s ability to be more agile in the game.

Since 1984 when Jordan wore the first AIR JORDAN sneaker, AIR JORDAN has become one of the world’s most recognizable franchises known for its signature Jumpman logo, innovative performance technology and fashion-forward style memorializing the sneakers into popular culture history. Jordan Brand has adapted the AIR JORDAN to the changing fashion landscape in its 25 years, utilizing the importance of green technology by making the AIR JORDAN XX3, AIR JORDAN 2009 and now the AIR JORDAN 2010 under Nike’s Considered Design ethos of combining sustainability with performance and innovation.

Jordan Brand launches the AIR JORDAN 2010 nationwide on Saturday, February 13, 2010 for a suggested retail price of $170. Retailer information can be found at www.Jumpman23.com.

Geneviève Gauckler — Digitally Isolated

6 November — 19 December 2009

For Digitally Isolated, Parisian illustrator and designer Geneviéve Gauckler has disconnected herself from the daily stream of images, words and information that flood our daily lives in an effort to return to more traditional techniques of drawing, painting and hand-screenprinting. Gauckler presents the character-based composition style for which she is best known, but reduces the result to one or two characters, a few words and basic colours.

As Gauckler explains: “It’s like a challenge to create new artworks by following these rules, these constraints. It’s like children playing and trying to come up with a new story, a new game by always using the same toys. In a way, I’m trying to become more and more simple, but I wouldn’t dare to use the word ‘minimalist’, because it’s related to art and I’m not really connected to the art world – my work is closer to illustration and decoration. This simplicity is like a relief in our complicated, hi-tech world: no sophisticated filter, no artwork made with 500 Photoshop layers, just paint and pencils.”

Geneviève Gauckler is a Paris-based illustrator and designer who creates numerous loveable characters, blends them into everyday life scenes and turns the fantastical world into reality with her magical power. She has an evident taste for simple, colorful shapes. She is constantly amazed, handling and creating images and shapes with dexterity and innocence. She has created illustrations for Flaunt, Beaux-Arts Magazine, Le Figaro Japan, IDN, Form, published four books and has exhibited at Colette in Paris. Her unique style has been commissioned by musician Beck, internet telephone company Skype, and clothing brand Uniqlo among many others.

The exhibition featurse limited-edition silkscreened prints and acrylic paintings on canvas, exclusively to Kemistry Gallery, and available in the gallery or at our online shop from 6 November.
