A lot of things in life happen for a reason; there’s no explanation for it, shit just happens. Regular readers will remember that we were in L.A the other month at the Nike US Open of Surfing, which opened our eyes to the action sports arena in a big way. We returned to these fine... Read more
Tonight sees the preview of Free Range, the enormous graduate art & design exhibition down at the Truman Brewery, and we’d suggest it’s in your interests to pop along. Not only is it a fantastic chance to see the work of the individuals who will doubtless prove to be the industry’s up-and-comers and movers-and-shakers before... Read more
You can consider our interest piqued once again in the project Harmony Korine‘s undertaking with actor James Franco – the thinking man or woman’s crumpet, assuming he or she doesn’t think too hard about his performance in the Spiderman films – by these black and white behind-the-scenes images by photographer Adarsha Benjamin, which have been...

Did we mention already that we’re typography nerds here at AW? Well, it’s true – not even just in the sense that Comic Sans makes us queasy (it does), or that its oft-overlooked peer in ugliness, Papyrus, makes us want to stick needles in our eyes (again, it does), but in a way that might...

Words by Emily Steer. This Monday, we were lucky enough to wrangle 30 minutes of conversation with rising star and first time film director Alexandra McGuinness, whose soon-to-be-released film ‘Lotus Eaters’ features at this month’s Tribeca film festival, and focuses on a group of bright young things trapped in a repetitive cycle of booze, parties,...

Unless you’re eighty-five, a member of a tribe hitherto untouched by Western popular culture, or dead. you’ll probably have heard a Moby song. You know the ones: there was the one about his heart feeling bad, the one about bodies and the rocking thereof, the ethereal one with the dove in the video that made... Read more
Words by Alejandro Solis. French electro duo Justice never sounded so stylish; their new single is the soundtrack for the latest Adidas commercial, which is directed by their long-time collaborator Romain Gravas. The duo is reported to be working on a new album, which we can expect to be released this summer. This song, Civilization,... Read more
Hey everyone, remember when we were all really into Ed Banger at one point (you’ll excuse us while we put on our circa-2005 plastic Wayfarers for a moment, as a means of hiding our misty eyes)? Justice released that album whose name we all dithered over in conversation, Uffie was banging on about how Uffin’... Read more
Words by Felicity Shaw. Here at Art Wednesday, we like to think of ourselves as cultural renegades, seeking out the most exciting and enriching art scenes, binging on multi-disciplinary creative performances, and engaging with and promoting only the best in high – and low – brow events and exhibitions. Today is no different, with an... Read more
Words by Philippa Snow. Casting James Franco as the beat poet Allen Ginsberg seems somehow both odd and appropriate; he is, after all, a bona fide Hollywood actor, with an appropriately plastic pedigree – all smooth, burnished smugness and LA-white teeth – but one whose cinematic career is neatly accompanied by, as Howl‘s press bumf...
