FRIDAY 20 AUGUST 2010 // IF YOUR NOT AT THE FOOTY...

Josh Robenstone’s latest solo exhibition ‘LA/NY and other American Adventures’ opens tonight at Backwoods Gallery!

NY/LA and other American Adventures’ is a retrospective journey and a portrait of contemporary American society, telling a story that is both fact and fiction. This abstract portrayal of the American way of life weaves together day to day experiences and encounters that span two decades.

LA’s gaping wide roads and obscurely narrow footpaths confirm the dominance of the motor vehicle. The city is shrouded in smog, but the bright sunshine makes you forget. In New York, a different pace and feeling. A city of people and interaction. Faces all day on the crowded footpaths, vibrant and engaged. The contrast between America’s two largest cities feeds a desire to look beneath the surface at the fringes of American society for further understanding.

Shot over numerous trips from 1990 – 2010, Josh Robenstone’s NY/LA and other American Adventures will be on display at Backwoods Gallery from Friday the 20th of August until September 1st 2010.

Go Cats.

There are 3 things that look straight up badass in matt black. Cars. Motorbikes. And the combination, Batmobiles. Well, that was until now. The Danish lords of fresh (damn Scandinavians just get shit right) over at AIAIAI have just released there newest contender in the DJ headphones market, the TMA-1. These carefully designed headphones dont just look the shit, there build to perform. Taking there inspiration from one of the top benchmarks in the game Sennheiser, you just know these will also sound the shit, and by the extensive road testing by some of the best in the game (the likes of Madlib, RJD2 & Hot Chip) they damn well should! Time to replace my old beat up Technics! for more info, specs and to get yo' self some, head to www.tma-1.com , www.aiaiai.dk, www.storedj.com.au
