Chris Fraser: Eidolons
Chris Fraser: Eidolons
16/10/2012Walt Whitman's poem "Eidolons" serves as a starting point for Chris Fraser's exhibition of the same name at San Francisco's HIGHLIGHT Gallery, which continues the visual artist's investigations into light projection. Using the camera obscura as a point of departure, Fraser pursues an experience of light that engages the unseen in everyday phenomena. He crafts spaces that frame ambient light, revealing a glimpse of the complex order around us. Light and color, intensified and divorced from reference, amplify the passage of time.
// Chris Fraser: Eidolons - From September 15 to October 27, 2012

David Shrigley Interview
Satirical British artist David Shrigley recently opened a solo exhibition at Manchester’s Cornerhouse called ‘How are you feeling?’ The exhibition features an entire floor devoted to his drawings, several sculptures, a new animation and even ‘napping stations’ for the tired patron. I sat down with the artist to discuss his new self-help book which was published in tandem with the exhibition to learn more about his comical, often poignantly so, approach to therapy.

Carl Auböck "The Workshop" Book
Carl Auböck "The Workshop" Book
04/10/2012The Werkstätte (Workshop) Carl Auböck was founded in the 19th century—one of many workshops in Vienna specializing in bronze-casting. However, Carl Auböck II (1900-1957) was one of the very few Viennese students who attended the Bauhaus in post-World War I Weimar, and when he returned to the Workshop he brought inspiration from this new design movement.

Michael Anthony Barnes-Wynters
Born as a doodler in Banksy’s neighborhood of Easton, Bristol, to Jamaican parents, multi-media artist Michael Anthony Barnes-Wynters walked into Manchester in 1989. While living in Hulme in the early Nineties, Barnes-Wynters’ neighbor, who happened to be a DJ at the Hacienda, got him work designing for the superclub during the height of the Madchester movement. Since then, the artist’s practice has expanded to include design, performance, DJ-ing, video, radio broadcasting and of course, his first artistic endeavor, street art.

Études is an incredible new studio formed this year by Jérémie Egry and Aurélien Arbet, who have already grown into a six strong team in a very short timeframe. Based in New York and Paris the studio creates and produces clothing lines, art books and offers creative direction services. I was lucky enough to catch up with Creative Director Aurélien Arbet as the team prepares to launch three new books for the NYC art book fair this week. Our favorite Post New photographer Clement Pascal also captured the team in both NYC and Paris, then Études cast their expert eye over the layout.
