Gilbert & George New Dark Show in Hong Kong

March 1, 2012

White Cube Gallery Hong Kong's inaugural exhibition London Pictures is a disturbing examination of sex, violence, power and death through the medium of Britain's tabloid billboards, collected over six years from newsstands near the artists' home in East London. For five decades, to international acclaim, Gilbert & George have been making art that is visionary, shocking, relentless, moral and richly atmospheric. London Pictures is on view March 2 to March 5, 2012.

Very sad to learn of the passing of the legendary Barbara “Bobbie” Stauffacher Solomon who AUTRE featured in the SS23 Utopia issue. She was 95. Her legendary supergraphics are on view now at the @sfmoma for all to see. Bobbie studied graphic design in Switzerland under the legendary Armin Hofmann in the late 1950s. Her most famous project, the graphic identity for Sea Ranch, a planned community imagined by architects Al Boeke and Lawrence Halprin on the Sonoma Coast, was a blend of Swiss Style and California Modernism, an amalgam of irreverent hippie cool and clean straight lines in oversized texts and symbols called ‘supergraphics.’ #barbarastauffachersolomon #supergraphics #searanch

“There is this pendulum within me that swings from caring about commerciality to not caring about it at all. And then, there is this thing where I gravitate only to what I love.” @charli_xcx interviewed by @hansulrichobrist for Autre SS24 Levity. 🔗 in bio Wearing @balenciaga #charlixcx #hansulrichobrist

Yesterday, before the Met Gala, we got a special preview of the @metmuseum Costume Institute’s Spring 2024 exhibition ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’ This is what all the pomp and circumstance is all about. A true multi-sensorial and emotional feast of sight, sound, smell and sound. X-rays, molecular olfactory extraction, artificial intelligence, soundscapes, video projection and 3D modeling bring masterworks from the collection’s archives to life in an historic way - what curator Andrew Bolton says is the future of museum exhibitions the Met. The exhibition allowed viewers to smell the wearer, hear the wearer and even travel back in time to ask the wearer what life was like in the 1930s. If you’re wondering, Why the Met Gala? It brings tens of millions of dollars to make exhibitions like this come to life, which allows millions of people to experience these works of art. The exhibition opens May 10th #metgala #themet #sleepingbeauties #costumeinstitute #annawintour #fashion

ADAM CURTIS AND NATALIE MERING (aka @weyesblood) IN CONVERSATION FOR AUTRE LEVITY (SS24 #18) 🔗 in bi0 For nearly forty years, the documentaries of elusive BBC journalist Adam Curtis have told us fascinating, complex stories about the disenchantment caused by the fables we tell ourselves to make sense of a violent and chaotic world. Last year, Curtis tapped into his vast trove of video archives to create the concert visuals for Weyes Blood (the moniker of critically recognized American musician Natalie Mering) to support her 2023 album And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow. He also created the music video for the single, God Turn Me Into A Flower, a poignant track about the myth of Narcissus, but also our eternal fall into the black mirror of a technology-obsessed world.

THE GREAT SPIRIT IS IN ALL THINGS. Autre is thrilled to present its S/S24 LEVITY ISSUE (preord3r 🔗 in biO), a 300+ page investigation into our zeitgeist of antigravity. Featuring our fifth cover, an original artwork by Jeffrey Gibson, the first Indigenous artist to be chosen for the United States Pavilion with a solo album exhibition at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Since the 1990s, Jeffrey Gibson has been weaving his own Native traditions and queer history with pop cultural references—particularly song titles, into kaleidoscopic textile works, paintings, videos, and performances. A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, he is the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States with a solo presentation at the Venice Biennale. His exhibition at the US Pavilion, the space in which to place me, takes its title from Oglala Lakota poet Layli Long Soldier’s poem e Sápa. In the following interview, Nellie Scott, the director of the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles, delves into Gibson’s history-mining practice. Preord3r the issue now by clicking the 🔗 in biO.
