The official, website description reads as follows:

Please join us on July 29, 2010 from 5- 8 PM for the first annual Chelsea Art Walk, a cooperative
event organized by over 25 galleries throughout northern Chelsea. With busy summer schedules,
it can be difficult to make the trip to Chelsea during regular business hours. Participating galleries
will offer extended hours and special events that showcase the vibrancy of the summer arts scene
in Chelsea, while local sponsors will offer food and drink specials throughout the evening.

A complete list of participants, and specific event details can be found at the Art Walk Chelsea website or by clicking below.

Giles Revell Shoots Usain Bolt for Puma with Droga5

Puma and Usain Bolt have partnered together to introduce a new line of clothing, The Bolt Collection. Droga5 thought of Giles to help create the bold creative images that would help launch this campaign. Giles shot Bolt along with Puma athletes Leslie Osbourne, Delilah DeCresenco, Jason DeMerritt and Natasha Kari.  They went to locations with strong colors and graphic visuals around the Miami area to capture the background plates. Giles came up with a technique that required him to use various cameras in non traditional ways to capture these images.  This global campaign is currently out in the Puma stores and on the website.

“This juxtaposition of traditionally gendered characteristics highlights both the complicated position these women inhabit as well as the limitations of the feminine stereotypes they reject and redefine.”
