THIS x Thom Lessner x Incase

This past Friday THIS los angeles and Incase hosted the opening night for the new exhibition “TURBO LOVER” from artist and musician Thom Lessner.

For the occasion we worked with Lessner and gallery co-owner Justin Van Hoy to create 100 limited-edition, custom cut & colored totes. The 80s hesher-inspired black skulls on a blood-red bag might be the scariest/funniest/most ridiculous tote we’ve ever made.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to the opening. Extra special thanks to THIS Los Angeles and Thom Lessner. By the way, Glen Danzig spotting his band mates in the weight room was our favorite work of the show. It must be seen in person to be properly appreciated. The exhibit runs at THIS now through end of October. Primer your eyeballs with our Flickr recap.

As a multi-platform cultural curator, Ghostly International is a tightly knit aesthetic universe fulfilling the roles of art gallery, design house, clothing designer, technology innovator, music-publishing company and record label, all in one. From September 13-16, The Art Directors Club will house a comprehensive exhibition that gives a peek into what’s next after 13 years of creativity from Ghostly International, highlighting an essential selection of work from the Ghostly family in a never-before-seen collection. In addition to the exhibition, Of Art and Artifice will also encompass a series of events that include an Opening Gala with live performances by Com Truise, Lusine and NYC’s own Michna, as well as two days of talks with Ghostly artists hosted by Incase.

Gold Coast Opening Night at THIS LA

This past Friday THIS los angeles and Incase hosted the opening night for the new co-exhibition “Gold Coast” from artists Danny Gibson and Mike Bertino.

For the occasion we worked with Gibson, Bertino and the THIS gallery to create 100 limited-edition, custom cut & colored totes. The yellow print motif on orange canvas might very well be the best looking bag we’ve done yet. Good job Justin Van Hoy!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to the opening. The night was hot as hell and a helluvalotta fun. Extra special thanks to THIS Los Angeles, Gibson and Bertino. The co-exhibit runs at THIS from August 31st—Sept 21st, 2012

THIS Visits with Tim Biskup

Southern California native Tim Biskup has long been recognized for his complex color and design theories, as well as a decidedly populist aesthetic. With his steady output of limited edition prints, vinyl figures, books, records and other objects, Biskup has amassed a cadre of loyal fans and collectors. Ever-hungry to find new avenues for his worldview, he has made recent explorations into theoretical text and performance art.

THIS visits the backyard studio of Megan Whitmarsh as she was getting ready for her solo show “Radiant Decade” at THIS Los Angeles. The amount of color and work in her space was mind blowing. It was all just begging to be photographed.
