Of Art and Artifice
As part of our longstanding commitment to the arts, Incase has joined to support Of Art and Artifice to further raise creative awareness. With the belief that art is connected through a spirit of inventiveness and anti-genre thinking, Of Art and Artifice is a comprehensive exhibition that gives a peek into whats 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. The exhibition makes its debut in NYC, in partnership with Incase and others, on September 13th. Tickets are still available for purchase.

Featured Artists
Matthew Shlian
Matthew Shlian works within the increasingly nebulous space between art and engineering. As a paper engineer, Shlian's work is rooted in print media, book arts, and commercial design, though he frequently finds himself collaborating with a cadre of scientists and researchers who are just now recognizing the practical connections between paper folding and folding at microscopic and nanoscopic scales.
Will Calcutt
Will is a designer and photographer living in New York. Growing up in Michigan, he began his long-standing relationship with Ghostly in 2001 where he has designed over two dozen album covers. His other musical work includes album art for the labels Kranky, Minus and Get Physical.
Michael Cina
Michael is an accomplished Creative Director that is currently leading the multi- disciplinary design studio, Michael Cina Associates. Michael is widely known for starting YouWorkForThem, a graphic design boutique, and it's sister company, WeWorkForThem, an award-winning design studio.
Com Truise
Com Truise is one of the many personas of producer and designer Seth Haley, born and raised in upstate New York and operating out of a 12'-overrun apartment in Princeton, New Jersey. An admitted synth obsessive, Com Truise is the maker of an experimental and bottom heavy style he calls "mid-fi synth-wave slow-motion funk".
Matthew Dear
Depending on whom you ask, Matthew Dear is a DJ, a dance-music producer, an experimental pop artist, or a bandleader. He co-founded both Ghostly International and its dancefloor offshoot, Spectral Sound. Hes had remixes commissioned by The XX, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Spoon, Hot Chip, The Postal Service, and Chemical Brothers. He currently maintains four aliases (Audion, False, Jabberjaw, and Matthew Dear), each with its own style and distinct visual identity.
Gold Panda
While working in various adult bookstores and record shops, Gold Panda spent countless afterhours building up a library of original, dizzyingly eclectic electronic music incorporating a disparate mix of influences and source material. The results are gleaming instrumental hip-hop tracks saturated with bright colors and sublimely chopped-up vocal samples. He has remixed for the likes of Little Boots, Telepathe, Bloc Party and others, and his original releases have also debuted to critical acclaim.
