We are sure that Harmony Korine's "let's put former-Disney girls in bikinis for two hours and see if people pay attention and then have James Franco in cornrows" film Spring Breakers will be the most polarizing chunk of pop-culture in 2013. But we aren't here to review the film, we are here to draw your attention to the Todd James designed Spring Breakers tee created with Opening Ceremony that is part of a larger capsule collection of all things Spring Breakers/Spring Break. Wait, people still get a Spring Break? 

Yep, that is James Franco, holding a gun to the head of Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson's head. And yes, this is a movie starring said actors plus Selena Gomez of Bieber fame. And yes this could be a Disney lineup circa 2004. And no, Disney would not approve. This is Harmony Korine's newest feature, Spring Breakers, and it puts the bugged out back in... bugged out. Watch the trailer...

In April 2011, MOCA approached Juxtapoz with a unique project that they were producing with James Franco: Rebel,a mult-facitated, mixed-media, collaborative art installation and project loosely based on the making and legacy of James Dean's famed film, Rebel Without A Cause. In July 2011, Juxtapoz published a cover story examining Rebel, interviewing James Franco, Harmony Korine, and Aaron Young, about how the project came about.

Last July 2011, we did a cover story on Rebel, the experimental, multi-part art project fronted by James Franco including components by Harmony Korine, Aaron Young, Douglas Gordon, Paul McCarthy, and Ed Ruscha. After a few delays,  MOCA will present Rebel this May 15, and OHWOW will publish the accompanying book.

One of our favorite interviews from this past year was our conversation with Harmony Korine, featured in our July issue in conjunction with his work on the yet-to-be-seen Rebel project. Korine teamed up with fashion line Proenza Schouler twice over the past two years on short films, the latter being Snowballs that premiered at Paris Fashion Week in late September. Watch and be slightly uncomfortable after the jump . . .

This month in Juxtapoz Magazine, we did a special report on the Rebel project, featuring Harmony Korine, James Franco, and Aaron Young. Rebel, an abstraction on the life of James Dean and history of Rebel Without A Cause, will premiere at the Venice Biennale this summer. Here is our interview excerpt with NYC-based Aaron Young.

Harmony Korine happens to be on the cover of our July 2011 issue of Juxtapoz, and he also happens to be in the Richardson Magazine presented exhibition, The Male Gaze, up at Maccarone Gallery in NYC. The show features works by Nate Lowman, Harmony Korine, Adam McEwen, Leigh Ledare, and Otto Muehl. amongst others.

Today, we are pleased to announce our July 2011 issue, featuring a full behind the scenes report and cover story on the making of the Harmony Korine, James Franco, Aaron Young, Ed Ruscha project, "Rebel," to premiere at the 2011 Venice Biennale this summer.

We told you recently that we are working on a project with Harmony Korine, and we just noticed that this video, "Curb Dance by Harmony Korine," just popped up on YouTube. It features, you guessed it, Harmony dancing around on curbs and other things, like a good Bolinas-born boy should.
