Jamie Reid and Comme des Garçons

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:31:12 +0000

Isis is extremely pleased to announce the launch of the Jamie Reid/Rei Kawakubo collaboration for Comme des Garçons. The Autumn/Winter 08 menswear collection is entitled Time For Magic after Jamie Reid’s eponymous work from 1995, and features images and text-based works from 1972 to the present. This collection was previewed in Paris in January and has just been launched worldwide. As a special project Comme des Garçons commissioned Jamie to create a special work for their flagship store in London – Dover Street Market. This work features a multiplicity of images from Jamie’s archive plus revisited works from the Time For Magic collection; pasted, over-pasted, torn and repositioned in a manner that is beautiful, arresting and startling to encounter in the pristine environs of Mayfair. This collaboration has been project-managed by Isis Gallery. Click here for further images of the collection, the Dover Street Market window installation and a video of the January 2008 catwalk show. Time For Magic indeed! ps. Ruth Marten’s work can also be seen at IT group’s exhibition of Comme des Garçons imagery in the 798 district of Beijing.

Alice O'Malley, 'Community of Elsewheres'

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:32:03 +0000

These pictures are studio portraits of artists who inhabit the frontier of creative thought and individuality today. The subjects are complex, but the technique is quite simple - a 1950s view camera, black and white film, and a natural light studio. The collection contains stolen property from Cecil Beaton's archive, Bellocq's brothel and Romaine Brooks' paintings of masculine women. The set is downtown Manhattan. The time is a new millennium. (Alice O'Malley) Isis Editions will also be publishing 'Community of Elsewheres' (48 page, 18 plate, hardback) in a signed, limited edition of 500 on the occasion of this exhibition.

"...startling, exciting, and memorable. This could be the start of something big." Vince Aletti, New Yorker Isis Gallery is proud to announce the opening of Alice O'Malley's Community of Elsewheres, running from June 14th to July 26th 2008. "O'Malley's formal studio portraits of artists, performers, and friends depict untraditional people, whose defiant presence counterbalances the increasing obsolescence of such individuals currently being witnessed in New York City today. The Lower East Side has long been a place in which art and the avant-garde function as integral parts of urban life. O'Malley's portraits provide an intimate look at the people who give it this character." Lia Gangitano, Participant Inc, NYC This is Alice's first exhibition outside the US. Isis Editions will also be publishing 'Community of Elsewheres' (48pp, hardback) in a signed, limited edition of 500 on the occasion of this exhibition.
