Over the spread of his life, Keith Haring applied his crawling babies and masterful linework onto a multitude of surfaces, and for the first time in history, the vehicles are all together in one place: The world renowned Petersen Auto Museum. It was a perfect setting for artists Nicolai Sclater aka Ornamental Conifer and Deus co-founder Carby Tuckwell to nerd out upon. Nico, who has made his mark in the art world in no insignificant way, made damned sure he was the first in line as the curtains of the exhibit were pulled.
The Petersen Museum has a terrific membership program and does things on a regular basis to support the motoring community in Los Angeles, such as monthly cruise-ins and other special events. They recently displayed a few of our Deus Ex Machina custom motorcycles built here at the Emporium Of Postmodern Activities by Michael Woolaway and we look forward to working with the museum more in 2017. Stay tuned!
The Unconventional Canvases of Keith Haring exhibit is open to the public on December 17 for a limited time. Well worth the visit!
This year’s playground was Pantai Kelecung, raw, remote, and still clinging to the Bali of old. Coconut palms, undulating black sand beach, riverbanks, and open fields formed our trackside theatre. This wasn't a doddle, this was a test of dirt and devotion.
Introducing The Chamber of Eternal Combustion, located in the heart of Seongsu-dong: story after story of apparel, hospitality, and entertainment. This one has opened with a certain aplomb, and the cause is anyone’s guess (though we have our suspicions). Our newest flagship space has shape-shifted into something curated and exciting - a rich embodiment of everything we’re uniquely proud of at Deus. A world that celebrates craft, creativity, and connection: a meeting point for culture, and a destination where curiosity is rewarded.
Come in, stay awhile; good things tend to happen when you do.
There’s a calmness to photographer Woody Gooch’s work. Some might even call it a quiet pulse that hums somewhere between intuition and serendipity, unfolding with a kind of ease. For Woody, the art lies not in control but in recognition, in knowing when a scene has found its own rhythm, and being present to catch it before it slips away.
