Phillip Low Prism Sculptures

Images

01. Sculpture 5.
02. Sculpture 1.

Words

Phillip Low's small sculptures have a somewhat otherworldly feel, particularly in the way that they manipulate light and colour. The hand-milled geometric prisms are made from sheets of Perspex and acrylic, and come in a variety of slightly different shapes, each one with its own unique character.

Robert Smithson in Texas

Info

Hardcover, 80 pages
9.5 x 11 inches
Published by the Estate of Robert Smithson
and James Cohan Gallery

Words

The famed land artist Robert Smithson’s association with Texas started in 1966, when he was hired as a consultant on the construction of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport. His ideas were never put into practice, but his participation in the project fueled his thinking about large-scale earthworks. He returned to the state at numerous intervals with equally striking proposals, and this beautiful volume, released by the artist’s estate and the James Cohan Gallery, is dedicated to his time there. The monograph includes essays, illustrations and film stills centred around the making of his final sculpture Amarillo Ramp. This semicircular construction of earth would ultimately be his last, and the project was finished posthumously after Smithson sadly died in a plane crash while surveying the work from the air.

Needles Ghillie Sneaker

01. Treated suede detailing.

Words

It's very difficult to make a shoe silhouette that feels interesting and original, yet also wearable. The Ghillie Sneaker from Needles may share some similarities with the Jack Purcell and Chuck Taylor, but the mix of fabrics, unique lacing system, thick rubber outsole and almost non-existent branding definitely give it an identity of its own.

The Collections of Harry Smith: Catalogue Raisonné, Volume I and II

01

01. Paper Airplanes and String Figures.

Words

I am enraptured by the varied activities of Harry Smith – painting, collecting, filmmaking and musical anthropology – and with his recognition steadily rising over the last decade, it is becoming easier to link these disparate polymathic activities to him. The themes that bind all of these practices together are his interpretation of patterns in culture, and the creation of his own systems of visual and auditory information. When Smith’s work is viewed with these things in mind, it is clear that a specific thread runs through all of the artifacts he laid his hands on. A series of mounted string figures and 251 found paper planes – two of his most storied collections – form the basis of these new photographic volumes, shot by Jason Fulford and published by J&L Books and Anthology Film Archives.
