"Hidden Track" Book Launch by Ami Kealoha

Robert Schwarz, an artist from the Wiesbaden, Germany-based Viagrafik has been in New York this past week creating these acute-angle-heavy sculptural toys (pictured above, exclusive to Cool Hunting) to install in the flagship Girbaud boutique in Soho. His work, available in a limited edition of 25 for $400 each, is part of an event we're pleased to be sponsoring that happens tomorrow 16 November launching the new book, Hidden Track. Curated by Die Gestalten and Sebastien Agneessens, the anthology surveys the ways visual culture is increasingly morphing from the printed page into 3D, more experiential formats, like Viagrafik's pointy abstractions and work by Neasden Control Centre, whose leaf-shaped vinyl stickers will give the appearance of a natural take-over of Girbaud's storefront and the street. The event, from 7-10pm, will feature DJs Ben Dietz (VICE) and James F*cking Friedman (APT), champagne by Nicolas Feuilatte, and book signings by the exhibiting artists.

The RSVP list is closed, but if you'd like to attend we still have a few spots available on our list, which you can sign up for by contacting us here.
