Read An Exclusive Excerpt From D. Foy's New Novel "Patricide" →

Suicidal, apt to crumple on a dime in fits, I was flown out to my father’s in his dustbowl town, where nothing was expected, said my father, the place would be all mine, take a job when you’re ready, said my father, or anything you like. I’m looking for my own work, said my father, but we’ll fix you up, and if you need it, said my father, we’ll go find it, that’s what really counts. You’ve only got to get here, said my father, that’s it. We’ll be together then, and together we’ll be good. Click here to read more.

"More Than A Muse" Group Show Featuring Larry Clark, Sandy Kim, Ryan Mcginley, and Dash Snow @ 65 Ludlow in New York

“More Than A Muse” aims to explore those relationships between artist and subject that exceed creative companionship and are based on inextricable, emotional ties. These relationships are those of parents, lovers, siblings and friends- those who have a visceral and often complex connection to the artist. The photographs then are more than standard depictions of beauty or intrigue but unfiltered glimpses into the intimate lives of two beings through the eyes of someone emotionally invested. The subjects are shown in their rawest form as they are photographed intuitively by the artist. This show is unique in that both photographer and muse will be recognized as artists. This is to further show the muse as more than simply the vision. They are the vehicles by which it comes to life. The symbiotic relationship is the basis of the work; it would not exist without the other. More Than A Muse will be on view until September 18 at 65 Ludlow in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Maya Thurman-Hawke Stars In "Far From Here" AllSaints' Spring Summer 2017 Campaign Shot In Woodstock

Introducing Maya Hawke in our Spring 17 Campaign Film. Shot on location in Woodstock, NY, our latest short film 'Far From Here' debuts our upcoming Spring 17 Collection.

UK-based AllSaints has decided to eschew the hype of New York Fashion week and escape to Woodstock to shoot their Spring Summer 2017 campaign. The resultant fashion film, entitled Far From Here, provides a breakout role for Maya Thurman-Hawke – yes, daughter of Uma and Ethan. AllSaints' new collection is an ode to endless summers and carries on in their tradition of sartorial rebellion. Creative director Wil Beedle says, “The collection itself is as much about escapism as the film we made with Maya. The starting point was about escaping the city in search of nature – exploring and contemporizing pastoral textures such as dentelle and broderie anglaise. But before long, the collection had also taken us from the countryside into the youthful innocence of the stars and outer space.” The film also features a piece of music by the great Cherokee folk singer Karen Dalton - recorded at the iconic Bearsville Studios, near Woodstock, in 1971. See more from the collection here.

An Exclusive Sneak Preview Of Doug Aitken's First North American Survey "Electric Earth" @ MOCA Los Angeles

Doug Aitken "Electric Earth" is the artist's first North American survey. From his breakthrough installation Diamond Sea (1997) to his most recent event-based work Black Mirror (2011), the exhibition unfolds around the major moving-image installations that articulate his thematic interest in environmental and post-industrial decay, urban abandonment, and the exhaustion of linear time. Conceptualized as an entropic landscape suspended between city, broadcasting machine, and labyrinth, the exhibition is punctuated by the signs, sculptures, photographic images, and altered furniture—all unbound from vernacular language and culture—that Aitken has conceived over the years. The exhibition will also include Aitken’s less exhibited collages and drawings, as well as his work with architecture, printed matter, artist’s books, and graphic design. The exhibition’s logic incorporates that of the nomadic cultural incubator, cross-continental happening and moving earthwork Station to Station (2013), which, like so many of Aitken’s works, embraces a collaborative spirit across disciplines and beyond walls to reimagine the nature of what a work of art can be and of what an art experience can achieve. Doug Aitken "Electric Earth" will open on September 10 and run until January 15 at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Supreme Honors The Late Dash Snow For Their Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection and Skate Deck Series

Dash Snow was an American multidisciplinary artist born in New York in 1981. With his charismatic personality and spontaneous output, he became a pivotal figure in downtown culture from a young age, embodying its creative and subversive spirit. Writing graffiti prolifically as SACE, he was a member of the world famous IRAK crew. Snow’s gallery work would prove similarly influential. Intent on immortalizing fleeting moments in the lives of he and his friends, he took a prodigious number of photographs that have been exhibited and published worldwide. In addition to photos, installations, zines and video, Snow developed a distinctive collage style that splattered tabloid clippings with bodily fluids and glitter. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 27. Supreme will release the Dash Snow collection of skate decks, sold as a set, alongside a T-shirt featuring the artwork of Dash Snow both in-stores and online on September 8. Japan will see a parallel release on September 10. photo courtesy of Supreme
