“Introducing to you the NSW Crew, a group of young creative athletes representing New York. They all come from different backgrounds, but they all embody the Destroyer spirit. Following the launch of the ISSUE 1 Journal, this black and white video brings the pages to life. Directed by Kai Regan.”

This week, Alife presents the newest additions to their Spring/Summer 2009 collection. The latest drop includes the Alife Icon button-down oxford shirt, new organic cotton Bubble logo v-necks and “e” logo pocket tees. The items are seen here modeled by LA’s own Rob Roy. You can check out his music video at Alife Media or visit myspace.com/robroy for more information.

Alife has also released a set of t-shirts to coincide with the opening of Kai Regan’s exhibition at Alife Presents. The shirts feature shattered flags, Misfits logos, and an anarchy symbol. All goods are made in North America and are now available at all ALIFE flagships and online at The Upset.

On June 11, 2009 New York City’s Alife is coming full circle to where they began as a brand with the grand opening of a new gallery space called Alife Presents. This space will serve as the home to an art collective exhibiting the best and the brightest in the arts, both visual and non. The inaugural exhibit, titled Reckless Endangerment, will showcase new works from photographer/filmmaker Kai Regan. On June 19, 2009 Alife Presents takes the show on the road to Los Angeles where they will be presenting Shepard Fairy at Alife LA in conjunction with the launch of the latest issue of Arkitip magazine.

ALIFE PRESENTS is located at 157 Rivington St, NYC, directly across from the ALIFE and ALIFE RIVINGTON CLUB (A.R.C.) shops, and adjacent to the recently opened A.R.C. SPORTS store.

There is never any shortage of documentary projects surrounding Lower Manhattan. With a multiplicity of scenes and movements, the area breeds rapid and even rabid artistic growth. “Unloveable” by Kai Regan and Tony Acabascio documents 5 years of what we may call the Aaron Bonderoff school of LES arts. In fact, the book was produced to commemorate his “OFF OFF BOWERY” show at Colette. A nice selection of photos and reminiscences.
