For anyone who was raised in the ’70s, never had a date in the ’80s, and believed 2000 was going to look like a cross between an LSD trip and Tron, Omni magazine was essential reading but sadly these days the only place you’ll be lucky enough to find a copy of Omni for sale is in charity shops or for lucrative prices on eBay. For those unfamiliar, the magazine was a lushly airbrushed, sans-serif, and silver-paged vision dreamed up (surprisingly) by Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione and his wife, Kathy Keeton that ran between 1978-1995.

06.03.12
Many know Mtendere Mandowa, aka Teebs, for his lush beat tapestries and experimental workings released through LA’s Brainfeeder label, but few know that the man behind the beats is also the man behind the art. As a long-time purveyor of the arts, Teebs conjures up visual explosions of colour, hybrid collages and hazy overtones that go hand-in-hand with his aural experiments. Which makes it a great pleasure to announce that Teebs will be reimagining his work on the surfaces of the front bar of the Rhythm Factory along with some limited individual prints, in association with Red Bull Curates.
