Introducing Loose Leaf

Post pobrano z: Introducing Loose Leaf

Loose Leaf is a hybrid format of publication and limited edition print series. It exists in the form of a collection of unbound and large-format printed art works. Published twice a year, Loose Leaf intends to present images in a physical, livable form, a distinct departure from the online consumption of visual material that pervades our lives.

Each edition comes packaged ready to be installed, not stored. Leaves are hole-punched for placement on a wall with small pushpins. Its unbound format allows the viewer to edit, select, and reshuffle images on an ongoing basis.

Loose Leaf samples from a specific context, but introduces the new and unexpected. Every edition shifts and centers around a loose idea rather than a definitive theme.

Conceived and curated by San Francisco design studio Manual, Loose Leaf is a collaborative effort. Each edition features newly commissioned works by artists, designers, photographers, illustrators, and writers that have caught the attention of the studio.

Hamburg, Germany based Sehsucht’s latest car porn introduces Lamborghini’s new 700 PS bull power Aventador, shot in the Californian desert Coyote Dry Lakebed and directed by Ole Peters.
The new image film by Philipp und Keuntje and Sehsucht is a 3-minute special effect thunderstorm. “Triumph” was produced by Sehsucht Hamburg (live-action & VFX), directed by Ole Peters, and screened first at Shanghai motor Show on April 19, 2011. The 3-minute-film is part of Lamborghini’s worldwide launch campaign “A Relentless Force” to promote the Italian super sports car manufacturer’s most important product launch of eleven years. The film shows the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 fighting forces of nature such as violent earth quakes or a blinding sand storm. “Triumph” will be shown at many more motor shows around the world until the year 2016, as well as in 120 Lamborghini show rooms worldwide, on Lamborghini’s Website and YouTube Channel and iTunes podcast.

The world’s biggest gallery | JR, Evol, SAM3, Vhils

20110426_142504_worldsbiggest_canvas_1.jpgJR: Making social commentary arresting, beautiful and impressive is no mean feat. But France’s JR does just that, across a global canvas. His huge images are usually pasted onto the walls and roofs of buildings. This project showcasing female inhabitants of a Kenyan slum helped win the 2011 TED prize. Judges praised him for 'turning the world inside out’

20110426_142615_worldsbiggest_canvas_2.jpgJR: continues his global street art installation, “28MM: WOMEN” campaign with a new residency in Delhi, India. He checks in with us from the ancient city this week with a sneek peek at his latest handiwork. Fresh off an epic run of installations in Cambodia and Kenya, JR will no doubt have claimed all of Delhi as his personal outdoor art gallery by the time this new stage of his grand global plan is complete.

20110426_142737_worldsbiggest_canvas_4.jpgEvol: German artist Evol uses stencils to create miniature lifelike buildings from small pieces of urban furniture. Here, he has drawn tiny balconies and satellite dishes onto the side of an electrical box to turn it into a tiny skyscraper. His work is so precise that, when you’re glancing at photographs, it can often be hard to tell that you’re not looking at pictures of real buildings.

20110426_142808_worldsbiggest_canvas_5.jpgSAM3 reverse silhouette in Cartagena: This is a very cool piece of work by SAM3. It stands out firstly because it’s enormous, and secondly because it’s a reverse silhouette: the texture of the wall becomes like her skin. A few days later the building was torn down. It takes incredible vision to produce work on this scale.

20110426_142843_worldsbiggest_canvas_6.jpgVhils face: The powerful portraits produced by Vhils are made via subtraction rather than addition. This is a typical piece: a vast face chiselled from plaster on the side of a wall in his native Lisbon. He also etches with acid, and makes striking images by peeling billboards.

20110426_142908_worldsbiggest_canvas_7.jpgEvol: This cityscape was created by EVOL inside a deserted factory in Dresden in 2009. The concrete structures he decorated to produce the elaborate work are 'probably the former foundation of a huge boiler plant to derive soap from rendered beef fat,’ he says. 'Even 15 years after closing, it still smells nauseous.’

20110426_142926_yesyesnoNikeBoxandShoes.jpgPotential Prefontaines aside, most who run would be hard-pressed to
find any grace or beauty in our daily jogs. And yet that’s exactly what
Nike+’s latest collaboration with interactive design firm YesYesNo
accomplishes. Over two stunningly beautiful days on Nike’s campus in
Beaverton, Oregon, YesYesNo collected data from several runs (mine
included), plotting them in a three-dimensional scale. The graphs
incorporated speed, distance and acceleration, but also color and
texture.
