This exhibition at the YUME Gallery x Brooklyn x NYC will stand tonite so don’t miss it if you have the chance to be in USA. The concept is quite simple: Fashion accessory, the shoe is a symbol of the human condition: from the barefoot to the high top. It is the social status that takes marquis position. More than ever, in today`s global consumer based culture the shoe is the interface exhibition of the clan membership of the beholder. The latter, in a fit of identity crisis, customized, stylized and adorned; works in contrast and placards his or her graphical vocabulary.

The precious children of this century are no longer artisans of consumer discontent, they have become the subjects to a marketing leviathan that plays outrageously with human impulses. This generation of the new century, born from the world of lifestyle marketing and image, regurgitates hyper stimulation reinventing its cosmogony, its stories, its heroes, its codes and its mythology.

YUME Gallery has assembled a collective of progressive artists that deconstruct the the “sneaker.” Using a post surrealist aesthetic, the artists extrapolate modern and popular perspective sand provide a daring introspective on the iconic position “sneakers” has taken in contemporary society.

So I Am Legend co-writer Mark Protosevich is in early talks to pen the remake of “Old Boy,” which will re-unite him with Will Smith. And if that aint enough to get an impossible job done, Steven Spielberg is also attached to the new movie.

DreamWorks secured the remake rights from Mandate Pictures, which also is staying involved in the project. Although the studio was meeting with several high-profile writers to do the adaptation, Smith invited Protosevich to meet with Spielberg on the project.

Mandate acquired the 2003 Korean film co-written and directed by Park Chan-wook from Universal, which picked up the rights in 2004 with Vertigo Entertainment (The Eye, The Grudge). The original film, which like much edgy Asian cinema includes some disturbing material, detailed a man’s mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.
