We already showed you the football scarf that comes along with the latest issue of Arkitip. Issue no. 0055 is all about the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
“This special issue of Arkitip Magazine celebrates the world’s greatest sporting spectacle—the FIFA World Cup—seen through the eyes of New York City’s own Chinatown Soccer Club with support from official FIFA sponsor adidas.
Founded in 2002, the Chinatown Soccer Club is a crew of artists, photographers, designers, writers, skateboarders and like-minded creative individuals. This diverse collective, united by a passion for this beautiful game, converges on New York City’s Chinatown year-round in all weather and seasons for friendly morning matches before heading to work.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, where an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 World Cup held in Germany. Italy’s team are defending champions.”
For their upcoming issue, Arkitip magazine will be celebrating the 2010 Football Worldcup. They worked hand in hand with Chinatown Soccer Club on the new issue and as part of the collaboration also worked with adidas on a soccer scarf with a South Africa theme. Look out for the release of the issue in the coming weeks.
Last year, Incase sponsored the MASH team when they embarked on their uniquely subversive journey to crash the 2009 edition of the Tour of California on their track bikes. For nine days, MASH team riders ascended on the same 700-mile course as international cycling teams on bikes with one gear and no brakes, battling the horrendous rains and traversing some of the steepest hills in California.
A little more than one year later, Project Space is proud to host with MASH a special exhibition entitled “Revisit MASH Tour of California,” a retrospective on their incredible journey during the 2009 Tour of California. The Project Space installation will showcase documentation from the MASH experience, including a new short film and behind-the-scenes photography, and a display of artifacts from the tour, such as road-worn bicycles, a torn kit from the 2009 Tour and more.
The opening reception for the MASH exhibition will take place Saturday, May 22, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Preceding the opening reception is the MASH-organized fixed gear only race from Echo Park, coincidentally timed with Stage 7 of the 2010 Tour of California. The race will finish at Project Space, culminating with an awards ceremony during the exhibition’s opening reception.

We have already reported about the skull sculpture by Michael Leon several times before. This time it comes in several new versions, especially made for the Arkitip Project Space. The artist handmade the skulls and gave them the paint ball treatment with an air gun. The outcome is interesting and we can even show you how it has been done. Check the video here below.
The skulls come in editions of 10 as part of an overall series of about 100. They are all signed and numbered and available at

Arkitip has released their latest issue, number 54. This time they collaborated with artist Serena Mitnik-Miller. The magazine comes with painting samples, photography samples and with a treasured spots map of San Francisco, produced by the artist for Arkitip.
” 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. “
The issue is now available for purchase here.
Many images from her works and the magazine follow after the jump.
