SIX SCENTS
Each year, the Six Scents Fragrance initiative brings six individual scents created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers. The fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Six Scents: Series Two features fragrances by: Phillip Lim, Henry Holland, Damir Doma, Henrik Vibskov, Richard Nicoll, and Toga. Each designer was invited to imagine a place, action, and person that would be the basis of their fragrance; from each response, a story evolved. The perfumers, directors, photographers, artists, designers and writers that have collaborated on Six Scents: Series Two were asked to interpret these stories as they understood them. The final result is a multi-media and multi-sensory collective creation. One of the creative contributions is “Subliminal” by Justin Edward John Smith a film and photo series that explores how someone may feel emotionally while experiencing the story of each fragrance. “Subliminal” will be projected in the Hamam at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach during Art Basel 2009. Individual Six Scents fragrances and ‘Six Scents x Standard Hotel’ limited edition box set available exclusively online at ShopTheStandard.com for $500.00 USD. Percentage of the net proceeds will go toward Pro-Natura in support of their environmental sustainability programs.

"Agnes Martin: With My Back to the World (2002)" will be featured for our next screening on August 31, 2009:
A groundbreaking documentary on the internationally renowned painter, designated by ARTnews Magazine one of the world's top-ten living artists. This documentary was shot over a period of four years, from 1998 through 2002, Agnes Martin's ninetieth year. Interviews with Martin are inter-cut with shots at work in her studio in Taos, New Mexico, with photographs and archival footage, and with images of her work from over five decades. It is a venue for Martin to speak about her work, her working methods, her life as an artist, and her views about the creative process. She also discusses her film, "Gabriel" and reads from her poetry and lectures. In keeping with Martin's chosen life of solitude, she alone appears in the documentary.
