“Music Is The Ultimate Teacher” Kadinsky

A dynamic series of large and small scale works, vibrantly coloured and intricately ornamented with a complex layering of resonant themes and imagery and a rich and inventive choice of media.

Taking inspiration from a wide range of influences: modernist architecture, the jazz records her grandfather gave her, the rich and vibrant imagery of the artwork and sound in disco, funk and boogie records, as well as a passion for wallpaper designs, textiles and textures, Victoria Topping has created her own abstract language and developed an alternative music for the eyes.

In line with Kandinsky’s theories on art and music, she has created colour, shape and position out of notes, rhythms and harmonies to evoke sound through sight and snapshots of musical landscapes.

3rd – 28th June 2010 at The City Arts & Music Project, 70-74 City Road, London, EC1Y 2BJ

SECOND SON X NASH COLLAB LAUNCH INSTORE AT DONUTS!

It’s been a long time coming, but Second Son and their extended family member Nash Money have finally got around to making a collab. Nash has transferred his signature moccasin cross stitch from sneakers to clothing with a large-scale photographic print that circles the entire hem of the tee, topped off with a collaborative logo crest at the chest pocket. The t-shirt is available in two colourways: Nash’s trademark electric blue on a white tee and bright teal on black. The Second Son X Nash collab will be launched in-store at Donuts in Bristol on Friday 23rd April. The first drop of Second Son’s S/S ‘10 range will be available for sale alongside a display of Nash’s best custom work and a photographic exhibition. Music will be provided by Noisses and Crazylegs DJs, while the free booze comes courtesy of Havana Club rum. Be there or be square…”
