Nike: Form Follows Motion

Nike: Form Follows Motion
Regardless of your love of sport, Nike’s visual and design impact is engrained in global consciousness. The Swoosh, the Jordan Jumpman, the commercials, the athletes and the pop icons who wear Nike all define a part of modern life. Published in conjunction with the fall 2024 landmark exhibition at the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, Nike: Form Follows Motion explores the design history of the brand, with unseen materials from the earliest years in the late 1960s, to drawings and prototypes, to the most contemporary designs with the likes of Virgil Abloh. At the heart of the catalog is how important design is for this particular brand, and as the first museum exhibition dedicated to Nike, it’s a transcendent moment.

ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 And Beyond

ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 And Beyond
The beautiful part of graffiti is that it’s such an ephemeral art form; most of its greatest works only lasted days, if not hours. But the archives are rich, and what remains are historic and essential. ZEPHYR, one of the most influential graff artists of NYC, kept a scrapbook that would become pivotal to the history of the graffiti, and weighing 7 pounds with 243 full-color pages, ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 and Beyond is an exact reproduction of the most essential years of artistic discovery. “I’m hopeful that there is content here—historical and/or sentimental,” ZEPHYR says. More importantly, it’s the real thing.

Laugh, Cry, Fight… with the Guerrilla Girls

Laugh, Cry, Fight…  with the Guerrilla Girls
While researching for this interview, I came across a quote by Yayoi Kusama, “Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the axe of art.” So simply put, this statement perfectly sums up for me the immense power that art holds, its mind opening and altering capabilities. It struck me that this is what the Guerrilla Girls collective have been doing for almost 40 years, using the axe of art their way. With a playful, yet unapologetically direct fierceness, Guerrilla Girls utilize unforgettably bold advertising-style imagery, statistics, and humor, to illuminate not just the discrimination and injustice in the art world itself, but in the wider world. At the time of this interview, the election in…
