Nike Flyknit Collection

Major buzz for footwear releases is typically reserved for basketball kicks and limited-edition sneakers, not serious running shoes. Then again, not every running shoe is designed with Harajuku street wear king Hiroshi Fujiwara at the helm. A collaboration between Fujiwara, Nike designer Tinker Hatfield and Nike Inc. CEO Mark Parker, the limited-edition HTM Flyknit collection hit shelves this week with crazy, cutting-edge technology to match its makers' pedigree.

Jordan Askill Has Green Gems

The 30-year-old Sydney-born designer-cum-artist got his start by working with friends at Ksubi, and then with the legendary Hedi Silmane at Dior Homme in Paris. But in 2010, he found his true calling.

Casting Call: 33 Dias

For this week's Casting Call, we have decided to tackle 33 Dias, Spanish director Carlos Saura's upcoming Picasso biopic. Thankfully, the film is not a cradle-to-grave story, but will instead focus on Picasso's Spanish civil war mural, Guernica (1937), which took Picasso only 33 days (!) to paint.

Joshua Marston Draws Blood

An eye for an eye may be an archaic form of justice, but in The Forgiveness of Blood, director Joshua Marston explores how the ancient tradition can wreak havoc on a family caught between the old ways and the new. Shot in Albania, the film follows Nik, a high school student with a penchant for Facebook, who becomes the victim of a centuries-old law after his father kills a neighbor.

Trailer Face-Off!

This week: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen vs. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, two British feel-good flicks about attempts to introduce new species (salmon, old white people) into unfamiliar habitats (Yemen, India).

Davis Rhodes Pares Down

Quietly and concisely, Davis Rhodes tweaks perception using his ephemeral hardedge abstractions. With "Untitled '12," his second solo show at Team Gallery, which opens tonight, the New York-based Rhodes presents nine new foamcore works. These industrially produced materials lean on the wall, lightweight but heavy with presence. Rhodes describes the feeling in the room as "total freedom from hierarchy, alienation or the pressure of identity."

Face Time for Lucian Freud

The great British painter Lucian Freud (1922—2011) and grandson of Sigmund Freud has a retrospective exhibition of his portraits at London's National Portrait Gallery [through May 27]. Over 100 of the late artist's portraits have been sourced from collectors and galleries across the globe, including an unfinished work begun shortly before his death in July 2011.

Three Bean Poles

In her piece, Dead-End, Infinite (2011) at "III," a group exhibition at Martos Gallery, sculptor Rochelle Goldberg takes on the daunting task of criticizing the apotheosis of materials in iconic 20th-century works such as Brancusi's Endless Column, which rises seamlessly from the ground without a trace of a struggle against gravity.
