In April 2023, a year after the launch of the magazine, Capsule introduced Capsule Plaza, a new initiative that infuses new energy into Milan Design Week by redefining the design showcase format. A hybrid between a fair and a collective exhibition, Capsule Plaza brings together designers and companies from various creative fields, bridging industry and culture with a bold curation that spans interiors and architecture, beauty and technology, ecology and craft.

In January 2023, KALEIDOSCOPE presented a solo exhibition by Houston-based artist Mark Flood (b. 1957), curated by Alessio Ascari, at Spazio Maiocchi in Milan. In his paintings, Flood deploys the detritus of contemporary culture—slogans, celebrities, logos, and memes—to mock American society and the elitist art world. The exhibition also provided the scenography for the runway presentation of the 1017 ALYX 9SM Fall/Winter 2023 collection.

ERIK BRUNETTI: OVAL PARODY

50 EUR

Hardcover, 60 pages
26 x 32,5 cm

ISBN 978-88-971852-22

Language: English

Published by KALEIDOSCOPE, edited by Alessio Ascari, and designed by Swiss-based art direction firm Kasper-Florio, “Erik Brunetti: Oval Parody” is a new artist book published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title at Spazio Maiocchi, Milan.

Inspired by FUCT’s now defunct parody of the Ford logo—the iconic graphics that cemented Brunetti’s authority as the original subverter of what is now called streetwear, and played a key early role in establishing reappropriation as a fundamental gesture within its lexicon—“Oval Parody” centers on a new series of twelve acrylic paintings furthering Brunetti’s thought-provoking feedback loop of reference, interpretation, and creation. 

Featuring an essay by Adam Wray, the book is punctuated by Brunetti’s annotations, first-hand anecdotes, and rarely-seen images stemming directly from FUCT’s archives. 

Erik Brunetti (American, b. 1967) is an American artist, designer, and founder of the cult Los Angeles brand FUCT.
