Hollis Brown Thornton Q+A

posted by matt

hollis-brown
1. Hi Hollis. Where do you live? What do you like about it?

I live in Aiken, SC, which is also where I grew up. I realized I physically need the climate in the South while living in Chicago. There is all kinds of plant and animal and bug activity during the warm and hot times of the year, just a general sense of vitality, that is motivating.

How Many Billboards

posted by jordan

I just caught a truly inspiring outdoor project going on in Los Angeles right now titled How Many Billboards? Art In Stead.

The basic idea of the project was to use small art to break up the dreary canvas of Los Angeles urban landscape. In this case, the monotony being the thousands of billboards that Los Angeles houses. The MAK Center for Art and Architecture set up the outdoor exhibition and commissioned 21 artists to explore Billboards as a canvas for their work.

“The streets of Los Angeles become the walls of the exhibition, and the city itself becomes a large museum,”

Alex Calderwood and The Art of Clutter

posted by jordan

Alex-Calderwood

The mastermind behind the infamous Ace Hotel chain Alex Calderwood discusses design aesthetic and the varied tastes of a cultural engineer in New York Magazine The Cut section.

Having been a key collaborator with brands Kaws, Alife, and Roman & Williams and founding the design and marketing firm NeverStop Calderwood might be something of a must read. He also covers the latest Opening Ceremony & Project 8 partnership with The Ace Hotel, capturing the independent spirit and intuitive curatorial eye in each of the brands.

WATCH: Cold Cave — Life Magazine

posted by jordan

The video for Cold Cave’s seemingly unstoppable track ‘Life Magazine’ premieres this week. Directed by Focus Creeps (Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown), the video features former Cremaster star Marti Domination dripping with erie beauty. The video was created for pure aesthetic and intentionally avoids an indulgent narrative which shouldn’t have been too difficult for Marti. Cold Cave will be in playing dates in Los Angeles next week to kick off their 2010 tour.
