Only the Brave: Get Your Art Game on in 2013
Art Basel Hong Kong
Art Basel makes its Hong Kong debut in May 2013, and you can expect quite a splash from the intercontinental art fair when it finally makes landfall. The first fair in a scorching hotbed for emerging artists, this will mark a confident man’s prime opportunity to get into the game. Knowing what you want comes from seeing the best and newest of what’s out there—this is your chance.
David Bowie Is
The Victoria & Albert Museum merges rock, pop culture and fine art with “David Bowie is,” an exhibition dedicated to the era-defining figure. The Only the Brave Man can take a page from Bowie’s book when it comes to breaking the rules and staying strong. Running through 11 August 2013, the show curates 300 objects, from hand-written lyrics to stage costumes, instruments to album artwork. Whether you’re a hardcore fan from the glam rock era or just really liked “Labyrinth,” the exhibition promises to be a brilliant ode to all things Bowie.
Paris Photo Los Angeles
Started in 1996, Paris Photo has become the premier event for the art world’s most contemporary medium. Going from the painfully cool French capital to sunny SoCal for the first time—and thus making its US debut—the show hits LA in April. Mark your calendar and inject some culture in your life that’s accessible but no less badass.

ICON Bronco
Anyone can flex their muscles by showing off some flashy little sports car, but those above the fray should look at something more subtle. Think of ICON‘s resurrected Ford Broncos as the ultimate vehicles for leaving the map at home when Fuel for Life is all you need. Our CH Video shows the process by which founder Jonathan Ward and his crew resurrect 1970s off-road vehicles into contemporary custom beasts ready for anything.
