MARK COHEN

Thursday, November 21, 2013

Looking at Mark Cohen’s photographs does not induce the normal response to street or snapshot photography. There is no life that continues beyond the caught moment of the frame, or flight of imaginative identification with the depicted subject. The viewer cannot escape into less oppressive or disturbing narratives, as is often possible with Nan Goldin [...]

GOSHA RUBCHINSKIY

Thursday, October 31, 2013

Gosha Rubchinskiy is one of the very few Russian designers who has managed to cross the Iron Curtain and make a name for himself in the West; and with Comme des Garçons taking charge of production and international distribution, you’re likely to hear a lot more of him in the years to come.

‘SAY_____’

Friday, September 13, 2013

Since the advent of industrialization, man has belabored the destruction of human identity in the technological sinkhole, enmeshed in metal, wires, and electricity and ever growing to the beat of Moore’s law.  The insistent currency of interchangeable events, status, and messages meted out by social networking sites presently fill the absence of the harder personal [...]
