Paul has a show at the Stephen Wirtz Gallery in California from September 4th - October 18th titled the thing about you is you will end up like me. Check it out if you can! I wish i could.

I’ve been a fan of his work for the last few years, falling in love when i first saw into his Polaroid panoramics. Whether you’re a long time ogler of his work or are just learning of it now you will be stoked to know that These Birds Walk has just published a book of his work. This book is one of a series of affordable art books that include works from 3 more of my favorite photographers! Ari Marcopoulos, Mike Brodie, and Jim Goldberg. Ari and Jim’s books are yet to come but Mike Brodie’s (aka the Polaroid Kid’s) book was amazing. I cant wait to see what Jim and Ari have in store for us!

I know it’s not new, but I couldn’t resist. Not only is it for a good cause, but it’s brilliant design. The photo is so good because it positions the animal in its natural state and imposes upon it the mappings of clothing patterns.

A Film by: Ari Marcopoulos

Director of Photography: Colin Blackshear

Producer: Neville Wakefield

What is Ari Marcopoulos the author of Transitions and Exits up to today? Ari is a documentary photographer and filmmaker whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Interview, Paper, Blind Spot, and most major snowboarding magazines such as Transworld Snowboarding and Snowboarder.

Hangin with Ari on a Burton shoot in Tinge, France he was abel to smooth talk his way onto the shoot without having any snow skills at all. He showed up with rear entry ski boots and the wackiest steeze for gear. There he is all skinny chilling with the Johan Olsson and the Gucci, smoking them out and getting everyone to embrace his presence. It’s with this family sense of security is when Ari works his magic as a documentarian. 

This quote from beastiemania.com outlines his genius. 

“The Beastie Boys photos is like a six year period, but I didn’t constantly shoot. The hardest part was when you do a subject like the Beasties, they’re such a popular band that the subject is bigger than you, and it’s almost like you’re riding the wave of them. That was the first thing I considered, then I was like ‘Fuck it, I’m just going to do it.’ and the band was really into it. A lot of these pictures were not taken for assignment or anything. I was just hangin” out with them and going to the studio.” - Ari Marcopoulos

So what do three guys dress in 80’s prom suits have to do with Ari? Colin Blackshear, Patrick Rizzo, Noah Sakamoto, race down Claremont canyon passing a video camera back and forth at break neck speed on skateboards. Ari of course is right there to embrace their brilliance and package it up. This film was produced for Adam Kimmel clothing.

Friday 09/05/08

6-10PM

1875 SE Belmont Ave. 

Please join us for First Friday at Nemo. We are excited to present the work of photographer Adrienne DeBoer. DeBoer explores memories through the topography of her childhood. Her work gives the viewer glimpses into issues of emotion, forgetting, tradition and collective realities. While a dark humor runs through the dreamy landscape, the more tangible reality of disconnection between childhood and adulthood; and the consciousness of city dweller vs. rural inhabitant are present throughout the work.

Dave Seoane, steward and fabrication genius of Nemo Design took it upon himself to create an apple box for one of our favorite photographers, Carlin Sundell. Dave saw opportunity for improvement when he spotted our 6′ 7″ Carlin, sitting awkwardly on a standard size apple box while shooting. So, he created an amazingly beautiful and much more functional box for Carlin. Using Plyboo he designed a sturdy, large, and wild looking apple box for Studio Nemo. Thank you Dave!

I am totally in love with the Museum of Contemporary Craft. They have had some great shows since they opened. This one is particularly interesting…

“War Bowl” by Domic Wilcox

Manuf®actured opens this Thursday at MoCC. The exhibition explores the use of “labor-intensive craft practices” to take apart and remold mass produced objects and materials. The wide variety of work examines questions of “overabundance, appropriation, [and] reuse.” MoCC will, as always, stay open for the First Thursday artwalk next week. 

Exhibition • August 28, 2008 - January 4, 2009
Lecture • 6:30pm • September 18
Museum of Contemporary Craft • 724 NW Davis • 503.223.2654

BARACK ME LIKE A HURRICANE!
