An Early Taste of Spring

20 March 2010

New York (Chinatown Newswire) —The Chinatown Soccer Club got to enjoy an early taste of spring today as ample sunshine and temperatures close to 70 degrees provided the perfect backdrop for the traditional weekend training session, the Newswire has learned.

Speedy winger Andy Carlson took a shirtless break from the action.

Mike Ming’s son Tenzin made good use of one of the extra goals.

Defender Peter “The Beard” Sutherland meditated between matches.

Rough day at the office

20 March 2010

Robert Egger is the Executive Creative Director and head of the Industrial Design Department at Specialized. He’s been with the company for 23 years. The taqueria next door to Specialized, SUPER TAQUERIA has had its doors open for roughly 10 of those years.

In that time, Robert has literally had a burrito there every day…

Stay with me here: 1 burrito x’s 5 days/week x’s roughly 40 weeks in the work year x’s 10 years = 2400 burritos. Incidentally, that’s almost $10,000.00 worth of tortilla-wrapped goodness. Robert had knee surgery a while back, and during the time he was laid up in bed recuperating, his wife brought him back burritos for lunch every day.

The man knows what he likes and what works for him.

A while back, Robert had the incredible idea to do a one-day ride from the Morgan Hill Super Taqueria to each of the other eight Super Taqueria restaurants located in the area from Salinas in the South, Northward to the four San Jose branches on the other side of the Santa Cruz mountains; and the other three restaurants in between, before finally closing the realmente grande loop back in Morgan Hill.

170 miles roundtrip.

Oh yeah, Robert promised to eat at each of the nine restaurants. Shoving a taco down one’s throat at 9:45 AM hints at the man’s constitution –he’s no slouch on the bike, either. Suffice to say, I made damn certain to stay first wheel to this man, lest I be overcome by bean-induced asphyxia.

A Deep Dark Pixeltan

19 March 2010

Devin Flynn, master illustrator, artist, animator and musician. He has collaborated on books and music with Gary Panter, worked with Eric Heidecker on that sick Flying Lotus video and had his own animated show on Adult Swim.  Devin was a pivotal part of the RISD scene in 1999-2000 that spawned Lightning Bolt, Black Dice and many other great bands and artists. Pixeltan was one of the first bands DFA ever recorded and their new EP marked our 100th catalog number, quite significantly.

Devin animated and directed the video for one of the songs on the 4 song EP

Arkitip Issue No. 0054, Serena Mitnik-Miller

18 March 2010

We’re very proud to announce that our next issue edition, No. 0054, will feature the artwork of Serena Mitnik-Miller.

Serena Mitnik-Miller executes her painting with watercolor on paper, employing transparent, all over repetitive shapes in vivid colors that reference nature specific to the sea. Mitnik-Miller associates these colors and geometries with organic vocabulary and palette, most importantly its complex dynamic. The paintings become increasingly disorienting with layered internal space and vortex like sensibility shifting the image beyond the paper.

In her photographic work Mitnik-Miller both seduces and alienates the viewer employing graphic and abstract approach to her images. Experiential qualities of light abound within the images, embracing the films grain to create a watercolor-like effect when printed on natural matte paper.

Serena currently lives and works near the ocean in San Francisco, where she helps to run the Mollusk Surf Shop Gallery and her own new venture, General Store.

Arkitip will also be supporting her upcoming solo exhibition at Four Barrel Art titled: Blocked, a new series of paintings.

Opening Reception
Saturday 27 March 2010
18:00 – 20:00 PST

Four Barrel Coffee
375 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA 94103

We couldn’t be more excited to add her to our most distinguished list of issue edition collaborators.

Arkitip Issue No. 0052 with Serena Mitnik-Miller will be available 02 April 2010.
