PURPLE YEARS BY JEFF RIAN
July 13th, 2009 — 8:44am
Book Launch Friday July 17, at 7.30pm
castillo/corrales – 65, rue Rébeval, Paris 19
“I’ve been writing regularly for publication since 1987. I’ve worked at Purple as writer and editor for over 15 years. Currently I’m also an associate editor for Purple Fashion, which Olivier publishes. Clearly Purple has gone through many changes, and I’ve been lucky to be a go through them all. So I owe much more than a mere thank you to both Elein and Olivier. But I must pay special gratitude to Elein, who first invited me to participate in the evolution of Purple, and by doing so significantly advanced my own evolution. She also laid out this book, for which she deserves my sincerest thanks. I often edit my published work myself, something I don’t recommend. I re-edited these essays, and had them corrected by Marty Vickers, a copy editor friend who is also my current musical collaborator. This is also the first publication where “I” regularly shows up as a pronominal frame of reference. In this regard I apologize to any author I’ve misread, misinterpreted, or have inadvertently stolen from.”

“I wanted to explore different sonics to take hip-hop to different places. The major conceptual basis was classic hip-hop – I wanted that sentiment – but I also wanted a record imbued with the spirit of indie experimentation, as well as pop accessibility.” — Raj Haldar known as Lushlife

STAGES
July 11th, 2009 — 11:02am
Lance Armstrong and NIKE together create STAGES, an art group show that gathers over twenty renowned artists from the contemporary art scene. The concept comes as a simple gesture: ask an artist to offer his /her time and creativity to express the LIVESTRONG message and raise funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation which is committed to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. The artists who have accepted the challenge are Rosson Crow, Jules De Balincourt, Dzine, Shepard Fairey, Cai Guo-Qiang, Andreas Gursky, JR, KAWS, Geoff McFetridge, Yoshitomo Nara, Catherine Opie, José Parla, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman, Richard Prince, Ed Ruscha, Tom Sachs, Kenny Scharf, Eric White, Christopher Wool, Aaron Young.
The show opens first in Paris, at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, for Lance Armstrong in the emblematic and symbolic context of the Tour de France and his return to the competition after winning the race seven years in a row from 1999 to 2005. The show will then travel to New York and Miami.
Ed Ruscha, Vital to the Core, 2009.
Opening reception Thursday July 16, 6-10pm
