One of my favourite photographers pairs up with one of my favourite magazines. 032c Workshop / Joerg Koch is pleased to present “Men and Women,” an exhibition of new works by photographer JUERGEN TELLER. Three series of portraits were selected for display in the space’s vitrine: two, shown here for the first time, deal with the masculine image, the coming into being and disappearance of a virility; a third, photographed in 2009, contrasts these portrayals with a feminine power. Teller’s five year-old son, Ed, poses as he lifts weights, runs on a treadmill and spins on a stationary bike at a hotel gym in the Maldives in late 2010.Next to Teller’s inheritor, we find his ostensible forebear: William Eggleston, pioneer of American color photography, now seventy-one. Photographed at his home in Memphis, also in 2010, Eggleston, too, gesticulates, balancing a drink in one hand as he plays “air piano” with the other. Between these two polar generations of male expression presides a serene Vivienne Westwood, portrayed in the nude as she reclines on a divan, timeless and smiling.

One show now till March 12^th 2011

Peter Miles is without doubt one of the most accomplished Art Directors of our time. He’s the Art Director behind probably the most famous ad campaign in the history of fashion, Juergen Teller’s Marc Jacobs ongoing print campaign, but thats only some of what he’s done, he’s worked with Celine, The Journal and Sofia Coppola too. Lucky for us, he also created the limited edition ‘Somewhere’ poster for Opening Ceremony, and so the retailer caught up with Peter Miles about his work with Sofia Coppola and much more.

Rory Satran: How did you meet Sofia? What is the history of your collaboration, and how do you work together?
Peter Miles: Juergen Teller introduced me to Sofia around the time of the first Marc Jacobs perfume campaign. Later she asked me to develop a logo and title sequence for Lost In Translation, and we’ve carried on working together since. She usually has a very specific brief but leaves enough room for ideas to change.

RS: How did you develop the Somewhere logo and poster?
PM: The crucial first step was a scrapbook that Sofia handed out to the cast and crew. I picked out a font for the front cover, which we ended up using as the logo. The poster for Opening Ceremony was designed around the poster for France.

RS: Which books or magazines do you go to time and again as references?
PM: The New Yorker, The Guardian, type specimen books. And Point & Plane Bookstore on Avenue A is great for finding books that I wasn’t expecting to like.

RS: How would you define your aesthetic sensibility?
PM: Not quite direct.

RS: What is your working relationship like with Juergen Teller, for Marc Jacobs, Céline, and your other collaborations?
PM: Juergen and I have worked together for about 20 years, and the dynamics have changed over the years. I enjoy the conversations surrounding work that usually have nothing to do with work at all.

RS: What was it like working with Phoebe Philo on the biggest revamp of a house in recent memory, Céline?
PM: Phoebe’s approach is to consider solutions in extreme detail, and she expects the same degree of attention from the people she works with. The overall experience has been challenging but rewarding.

RS: Top five typefaces?
PM: Two would be Univers 55 (perfect, minimal, exact) and Perpetua Bold (prickly, strict, demanding). Not sure if I have five, they keep changing.

RS: How did you go about designing the maquette for The Journal?
PM: I hung around in the background for about a year and watched the team put issues together. It was a very slow start.

RS: How do you restrain yourself to consistently have such a simple style? Is editing difficult for you?
PM: It doesn’t ever feel like restraint, probably because an alternative route rarely exists. I enjoy editing other people’s work and can be ruthless without much fear. Editing my own work is much harder and options have to be kept open until the last possible moment.

RS: Has there been a change in your work since you moved from London to New York?
PM: I’m not sure… maybe a bit less baggage.

RS: Is there any classic supermarket or drugstore packaging you love? How about signage in NY?
PM: Key Foods! Their windows used to be amazing, walking past those stores was always a treat. Trashy food stuffs spelt out in squashed capital letters and printed in big American colors. However, the design changed recently and they lost their impact. Most signage in New York doesn’t work, especially the directions to long-term parking around Newark Airport. I tend to have too much trust in the signwriter.

Possibly the best, and if not, certainly the most well recognised print advertising campaign in fashion is Juergen Teller’s seasonal series of photographs for Marc Jacobs, featuring numerous high profile women. Marc Jacob’s Bookmarc store in NYC (400 Bleeker St) and across the country will release 4 decks featuring the decks this coming Friday.

Arena Homme plus are delivering the highest quality of content and editorial as of late, almost as if it has had a reinvention of itself. This preview of Arena Homme Plus Summer/Autumn 2010 issue contains a further look at Givenchy and Riccardo Tisci’s collection, the animals of Juergen Teller and the band The XX. Capturing the current, the iconic and the fashion forward, an issue I am personally looking forward to reading.

Opening last night was Juergen Teller ‘Touch Me’ solo Exhibition at Le Consortium in Dijon. The title ‘Touch Me’ can be delivered and received in many ways, in the sense of his work touching you from behind traditional preferences of galleries or it could be the intimacy of his nudes and fleshy captured moments. The series of works feature famously seen before images plus some never processed before works which are made especially for this show.

See below for opening night images of Juergen Teller ‘Touch Me’ Exhibition.

Juergen Teller has compiled another emphatic collection of works for his latest exhibition Paradis, at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Having famously worked with the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and such designers these images where commissioned by print magazine Paradis for a special edition that will release at the end of the month. Centred in The Lourve and featuring bare models Raquel Zimmerman and Charlotte Rampling the outcome has a very strong touch.
