Agathe Snow x MYKITA : ‘All Access World’ Sunglasses

“Aliens might’ve constructed Egyptian pyramids, but the bigger question according to artist Agathe Snow is our relationship to such towering structures. She takes up the question in her current show, an homage to monuments at the Guggenheim Berlin dubbed “All Access World.” The Corsica-born, NYC-based Snow has already made a name for herself with artfully messy sculptural works and a penchant for interactive art, with this show exploring “a more democratic approach to monument ownership and distribution.” Filled with an array of mobile sculptures, large-scale wall collages, video works and more, the exhibit examines the identifying the factors that bind people to places.

Accompanying the monumental mixed-media works, a pair of sunglasses designed by Snow and Berlin-based framemaker Mykita plays off the theme with subtle references to iconic landmarks. The neon pink- and black-hued shades feature a handpainted silhouette of either Manhattan’s skyline or the Pyramids of Giza, applied so finely to the inner side of the lenses in gold that the wearer barely notices”

A limited run of 200 pairs of glasses will be available at the Deutsche Guggenheim and at MYKITA stores.

Tunnidge : Solo Show

“Tunnidge is best known as a Producer / DJ, with releases on Deep Medi (DMZ) and Distance’s Chestplate imprints. But his first involvement with the Dubstep scene was as an illustrator, when his portraits graced Deep Medi’s classic record sleeves.

We love Tunnidge’s distinctive illustration style and we think he deserves recognition as a visual artist as well as a musician. We are proud to welcome him to showcase his artwork at our Kingly Court HQ.

Tunnidge’s hand drawn portraits and prints will be available for sale at show, which will remain at the gallery for 1 week. The opening party on 24th February is sponsored by Tiger beer”
