We Are Selecters

We are particularly excited about the relaunch of We Are Selecters. The project is now interactive and allows users to contribute their own content.

The “I AM” shop allows registered users to take advantage of limited time/limited quantity deals. Brands are given the opportunity to curate their shops, making it a more personal shopping experience. Another cool feature is the site’s 24/7 “We Are Radio” which streams music from 2010 (the year the project was incepted)  along with newly released tracks. “We Are Selecters” is progressive and contains everything we love in one stop. Check it out for yourself!

Scan from Open Lab magazine #8 Kevin Francis Gray by Katherine Nonemaker London-based sculptor Kevin Frances Gray is bringing about a convergence of new and historical forms in his sculptural work. In 2011, his work was included in Haunch of Venison New York’s inaugural Chelsea exhibition, Boundaries Obscured, as well as Roundabout: FACE TO FACE at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and Apopcalypse Now, at Nieuw Dakota, Amsterdam. This past September, Haunch of Venison presented Gray’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The show exhibited an entirely new body of work cast in bronze, constructed in fiberglass, and carved from marble.  Read the rest in the issue now available for sale.
Scan from Open Lab magazine issue 8. Kevin Sloan interviewed by Rachel Horner Kevin Sloan’s interests in oddity and the idea of contemporary spectacle are very evident in his most recent series in which he illustrates the innate tension between humanity and the natural world. These beautiful scenes are strange and playful, depicting animals in ambiguous environments in which they are confronted with unfamiliar objects. The organization of space, allegorical nature of the work, and contrived poses of figures within the paintings are reminiscent of the Mannerist period, while his subjects are influenced by the ornithological prints of Audubon. Sloan pulls a strange history of allegorical painting, Wunderkammer tradition, and naturalist study with him into the even stranger arenas of contemporary culture and technology. Despite their simplicity, the paintings have a sophistication and richness that arises from the relationship between the subjects and Sloan’s inclination towards this naturalism. Hinting at something larger than what is pictured, these scenes of animals awkwardly interacting with manmade objects evoke valid questions about what it means to live in our contemporary world.
Judy Fox Scan from Open Lab magazine issue 8 Interviewed by Laurier Hampton & Katherine Nonemaker Judy Fox is a force to be reckoned with in the sculpture community. Her work possesses its own distinct mythos, combining religious, historical and mythological tradition with imaginative investigation in form. Fox has recently been marrying human with mollusk and cephalopod anatomy in her sculpture, resulting in strange and beautiful installations of retold fairy tales and religious lore, sticky with sex and humor.  Read the interview in Open Lab # 8, now available for sale in our website
