adidas Surface to Air Event
The adidas Surface to Air art exhibition took place at the adidas Original Store in New York. It’s a really cool exhibit where the guys from Surface to Air took 180 pairs of white/white/gum Samoa trainers, shredded them in their boxes at a commercial shredder, and then re-constituted custom made replicas of two classics of modern design – Mies Van Rohe’s “Barcelona” chair and Le Corbusier’s “Grand Comfort” chair. They also made two 30 foot paintings and a pair of videos for the exhibit – all of which are on display at the NY store, before going to London, Berlin, Tokyo, Miami (for Art Basel), and LA.
