Next - Outpost We’re super stoked to annouce that we're involved in a special exhibition that’s going on in Sydney, Australia called NEXT: The future of T-shirt graphics which is taking place at an event called Outpost on Sydney’s Cockatoo Island. NEXT is a project put on by the T-shirt king, Eddie Zammit from T-World Magazine, in conjunction with aMBUSH Galleryin Sydney. “For over 30 years, street culture – encompassing graffiti, design, skate, streetwear and urban inspired – has changed the way we see the graphic T-shirt. This exhibit celebrates the street art category using the T-shirt as its most accessible canvas. The display is both retrospective and responsive to the question, what is NEXT?” 20 x T-shirts are being exclusively created for the exhibition by some of the leading artists, designers and labels in the world (including one from ourselves). The brief is to depict the future direction of T-shirt graphics. In addition, portrait photographer Nicole Reed has captured an amazing line-up of streetwear heavyweights in conjunction with T-world for NEXT. Each portrait displayed will be large-scale and will provide an insight into your favourite artists’ work and their thoughts on the future of the T-shirt scene. Take a peek at some spy pics that have surfaced via Cockatoo Island’s Facebook page.
