whichever way you look at it, the writing is on the wall for traditional catwalk shows (with mcqueen passing the fashion industry has lost someone who knew this all too well and embraced the challenge of finding new alternatives). this presentation for the new Grenoble line by Moncler is pure showmanship, staged at the driving range on a snowy Chelsea Pier in New York.

In less than 6 hours, my dear friend, extremely talented dancer & choreographer (and indeed, SB5 contributor) Jonah Bokaer, together with Judith Sanchez Ruiz, will be presenting the premiere of REPLICA at the New Museum, New York City!

The piece examines memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties as they apply to the human body. In collaboration with visual artist Daniel Arsham, the piece employs built spaces, objects, lighting, and other media to create the illusion of an expanded space through the use of video and other still images.

American photographer. Controversial in his own time and even now, Mortensen was born in Utah, studied briefly in New York, then moved to Hollywood to work in set design, mask making, and then as a photographer and portraitist. His celebrated differences with the Group f.64 clique, particularly Ansel Adams, centred on Mortensen’s unwillingness to accept that a photograph was sacrosanct, not to be tampered with. Mortensen, on the contrary, utilized elaborate methods, such as abrasion tone and Metalchrome, to create images, usually figurative, sometimes fantastic.
