KAMP hosted GLAMOUR & HEADSHOTS, a touring pop-up portrait studio by Robbie Augspurger this October at the office in Brooklyn, NY.

Robbie's unique style of blending studio portraiture of decades past with elements of humor, fantasy, and the uncanny has made getting into his studio a much sought after experience. From his home base of Portland, OR, he has collaborated with the likes of Balenciaga, Coach, CR Mens Book, and even legendary indie rocker Stephen Malkmus. Robbie's KAMP pop-up marks his first time bringing his nostalgic portraiture to the people of New York.

For the fall edition of KAMPUS Talks, KAMP entered into conversation with photographer, creative director and storyteller Ivan McClellan.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, Ivan's career as a photographer and designer led him to a change encounter with the world of Black rodeo. This discovery sent Ivan on a seven year journey traveling across the country documenting and elevating Black cowboy culture, uncovering a world of extraordinary figures who are changing perceptions through a sense of pride, grit and independence.

In this second installment of KAMPUS Talks, Ivan takes from his experiences to shed inspiration on topics like leveling up in the creative industry, mastering the art of closing deals and how to align with our purpose.

LA based photographer, director, author, and all around creative guy Todd Selby joined KAMP on the big studio couches for a special end of the summer A.B.C. book club. Along with an A+ charcuterie board, Todd took us from his origin story as the prototypical suburban kid to his career as an influential lifestyle photographer with a vast body of work focused on the intimate, quirky, and colorful. We also learned Karl Lagerfeld served him a platter of Diet Coke and cookies once. 

Drawing from the perspective shift he went through after becoming a father, Todd's fourth book, The Selby Comes Home, is a kaleidoscopic look into the day-to-day of how people continue to live a creative life while raising a family. You can purchase the book here.

In 2022, photographer Guarionex Rodriguez Jr. was invited to document Sustain Release, an electronic music festival at Camp Kennybrook in Upstate New York. During the late nights of the festival he captured the hazy ephemeral scenes of dancers and strobing lights creating a visual language that mimics the electric and textural memories of those in attendance. In contrast to the nightlife photos, Rodriguez set up a portrait studio on the grounds during the day with open invitation for anyone who would like to be photographed.

In this poster book titled Assembly of Very Many Persons, these two photo series are placed onto 8 doubled sided foldout posters creating a holistic view of what this festival means to its participants. This limited print run is available now on the KAMP shop and at select retailers.

KAMP A.B.C: ASSEMBLY OF VERY MANY PERSONS

Thanks to a post-covid surge in popularity and ambassadors like Serena, Naomi, and Zendaya, tennis is hawt right now. Yet, tennis culture at large is still dominated by the stuffy, high-veneer shine of the country club. But for KAMP copywriter/"aspiring tennis professional" Logan Corcoran, the heart and joy of the game exists within the faded lines and sagging nets of his local courts. That’s why he's a contributor and supporter of Portland Tennis Courterly (@portlandtenniscourterly).


Operating with a DIY punk zine ethos, the Courterly is an open-source newsletter serving the racquet-curious throughout Portland, Ore. Printed for free at the library, each issue is hand distro’d to cafes, pro shops, and courts (admittedly in violation of Park Department code) across the city. PTC publishes everything tennis: first-person narrative fiction, profiles, interviews, “hard” news, satire, poetry, prose, art, comics, graphs, and whatever else translates well to 2D. 

Editor Tyler Pell sums it up like this: “At its core, I think the Courterly serves as a kind of funhouse mirror of the local tennis scene, and I hope it reflects back, at least from an angle or two, something that resembles the fourth estate, building a shared political consciousness around access to community resources.”


In addition to the newsletter, PTC also releases an ongoing “Pocket Pro Series,” mini-zines authored by local tennis folks and thinkers covering topics like match strategy, nutrition, the zen of tennis, and on-court fashions. Find the newest issue on cracked courts across Portland this summer.

KAMP Digital Project Manager and music enthusiast Blake Carrillo (aka @cinemaminimal) shares his latest Minimal Mix. With a blend of ambient and Alternative Rock, this playlist has been helping us to get a little work done in the office. Blake has been building these mixes for a few years now, so we decided to ask him a few questions about the series.
 

71350024 (1).jpg

What kind of songs make it into the mixes?

Typically they’re all songs I absolutely adore, whether they’ve been in my life for a long time or are a brand new song crush. Tracks that grip me the most usually have some sort of unexpected emotional reaction and I end up listening to them on repeat. I super appreciate underground music or stuff that’s outside of the mainstream, usually since they take an uncommon melody path or have interesting production. So any chance to shine a light on music that is underrated / under-promoted or fresh sounding is always a pleasure for me.


Stylistically and sonically, each song and placement are important to me as well - they’re not intended for shuffle lol! I love to try and create a flow or vibe whether totally hyper, super mellow or evenly balanced. I think that came from going to punk shows that were usually full blast for hours and needing some downtempo balance for the drive home, going to raves as a kid in the 90s and appreciating the thoughtfulness put into their set. The wave-effect of breakdowns and drops are so physically reactive and I love it. Of course these mixes are all just standard individual songs and not mixed live or anything, but I sort of use that as a north star for overall feeling.

Does the amount of songs in each mix play into it?

Usually it’s more about the overall timing than amount of songs. I like to keep them right around an hour so that they don’t seem intimidating or get too stale. There’s a couple mixes that break that rule, but not often. I’d rather leave someone wanting more than getting overly sick of whatever they’re listening to.

How long have you been making these?

I’ve been making the minimal mixes since the spring of 2017 probably around when spotify was released, but I’ve been making playlists in itunes since the early 2000s. Back in the 90s I use to make cassette mixtapes and then evolved into burning mixes on CD-Rs friends, so I guess this is just the most current form of that for me.

What made you start?


I think in general I’m always looking for ways or reasons to connect with people. Music is, of course, a great way to do this and it’s forever funsies for me to talk about. I want to share this excitement with anyone interested and learn more from others also. Part of me is also inspired by other music-heads at Kamp who are constantly sharing playlists and DJ mixes. I wanted to not only consume, but also share my musical tastes with the crew…. even if these mixes mostly just consist of 90s emo bands and ambient music lol! xox

Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair (LAABF) made its return to Los Angeles at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. For the first time, Cult Classic tabled the fair alongside a lineup of publishing peers.

Since the pandemic, we’ve been facilitating movie nights with members of the studio. Zoom watch parties turned into living room style hangouts and for the first time ever, we’ve opened up these nights to our larger community. In collaboration with Portland mainstay CineMagic Theater, we were able to screen the sci-fi classic REPO MAN to a theater of homies, family, and general lovers of the genre.

For the month of July, Kamp Gallery welcomed Portland artist Forest Bailey to present his newest collection: Turned On.

In this body of work, Forest Bailey excavates themes both childlike and primal. Continuing the natural progression of previous explorations and style, the focus of this work becomes hyper attuned to color, subject and emotion.

This self-taught multidisciplinary artist found his way to painting and design through his career as a professional snowboarder. In addition to a prolific practice as a painter, he also puts out an annual line of streetwear, outerwear and snowboard designs.

Music for the night was provided by Inversion Table. The show is available for private viewing by appointment through August 2023.

KAMP Gallery welcomed Brooklyn based artist Jackson Epstein for his debut show on May 19th, 2023.

Jackson’s show, titled Sedimentary Heap, continues his exploration of world building with amorphous figuration and spatially deceptive compositions. Jackson’s pieces consist of an assortment of layered organisms, objects, and abstract forms, bound together to create a primordial architecture focused on the sum of its parts. Each piece encourages an exploration between the viewer and subject, giving freedom to examine each imagined space’s intricacies or to view them as a whole.

Jackson was joined by musician and frequent collaborator, POISONFROG, to DJ the opening of the show. Sedimentary Heap is available to view via private appointment through June 2023.

The annual Kamp Flea is quickly becoming a tradition we all look forward to. The flea returned to New York in May, this time partnering with Brooklyn’s 109 Montrose, a community-oriented shop created by LQQK Studio and Young Coffee.

Attendees were excited about their vintage pick-ups, along with the space to shop, eat, drink and meet new friends. The complimentary tote created for the event by Toya Horiuchi and LQQK Studio was especially popular, and wouldn’t be surprised to see them start popping up on Depop soon.

Thanks again to our vendors:

BEHIND THE SCREAMS OF UBER EATS' HALLOWEEN FILM

Last year, Kamp worked with Portland's burger masters Bless Your Heart on the Love Burger, which gave back to families in need.

This summer, the LOVE continued, creating a custom flavor with Portland's best plant-based ice cream creator and shop, Kate's Ice Cream. A Kamp Grizzly "LOVE TAX" went directly back to the local community.

The exclusive Pineapple Strawberry Swirl ice cream flavor, SCOOP OF LOVE, will stay on the menu at Kate's Ice Cream locations and also be available in take-out pint size while supplies last.

We launched our flavor with a small block party on Mississippi street right next to Kate's shop. We invited friends and family of Kamp and Kate's for an afternoon of ice cream and community. One dollar from each scoop and pint throughout the weekend was donated to Boys and Girls Club of Portland and Airway Science For Kids.

To kick off the summer, Kamp NY celebrated the local creative community; inviting stylists, vintage sellers, artisans, and makers to participate in a Flea Market at McCarren Park in Brooklyn.

Our DJ friends kept the vibes going all day, soundtracking the event, while the crowd enjoyed food and beverages by local eats: Thumbody Coffee and Lost In The Sauce.

One-off merch, designed by illustrator Khôi Bảo Phạm was handed out; including specialty tees for vendors & friends and blankets for park lounging.

Memories were made while everyone got to meet new faces and reconnect in this refreshing space for creative exchange.

In the state of Florida public school teachers have been banned from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity after Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, signed the controversial "Parental Rights in Education" bill.

Working with the Jonathan Devan Lewis Foundation and GLSEN, KAMP designed, produced and procured 80 billboards throughout the state of Florida to raise awareness in opposition to the contentious “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.

The mission of the initiative is to reinforce that every student deserves to learn and grow in a school where they are supported and can focus on learning, rather than worrying about being treated differently.

Over the past decade, our friends Portugal The Man have established themselves as one of rock’s most prized possessions and a live phenomenon, with over 1,600 shows under their belts and a storied reputation as festival favorites.

KAMP helped bring to life the visuals for their latest single “What, Me Worry?”, On the inspiration behind “What, Me Worry?”, guitarist and lead singer John Gourley shares: "While recording this album and hanging in LA, we got into a conversation with Jeff Bhasker and Ryan Tedder about how much we missed laughter. The last few years it’s been so easy to forget the fun in what we do. We talked about childhood memories of laughing at the world and ourselves while flipping through Mad Magazine. We missed those days and remembered that we all make music. So we took that afternoon to make a song about it.”

Our favorite part of the video comes at around :35 where KAMP copywriter and local iconoclast Logan Corcoran makes his on screen debut as “sad clown”. Later this month (Feb 23), the band will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the track’s high-energy television debut. Watch the video below.

Love is more than the flag that flies outside of Kamp. It's an ethos, from the people that work here to the work we create. To further spread love we teamed up with Bless Your Heart on our very own creation; THE LOVE BURGER. NW natural beef, American cheese, shredded lettuce, fresh sweet onions, fried jalapeños, and spicy mayo on a Martin’s potato roll.

Bless Your Heart Burgers will donate $1 from every burger sold to local nonprofit partner, Neighborhood House, whose mission is to help neighbors across the community, supporting self-reliance through innovative and life-changing programs and services for people in need.

In December of 2020 Kamp Grizzly threw their very first digital holiday party with Twitch segments from friends and collaborators that we missed working with over the pandemic. The Holiday Platitudes Infomercials in partnership with Fisk Projects were an immediate fan favorite and received its own writeup on Art and Design outlet It’s Nice That:

“In a new collaboration between two esteemed Portland-based design studios, Fisk and Kamp Grizzly have come together to give meaning to words that are overused but underutilized. The six words in question are collaboration, community, goodwill, empathy, gratitude and family – six notions expressed through a set of platitude plates with all proceeds going to the Oregon Food Bank. The platitude plates are designed with lasting appeal and everyday dining in mind. Manufactured in the US with scratch-resistant features to prevent chipping, the charitable project began at the end of last year when (we’re sure most of us can agree on this) there was a great need for joy and lightness to end 2020 on a much-needed high.”

You can read more about the collaboration here.

For decades Communication Arts magazine has catalogued the visual communications that inspire and define generations. For issue 61 of this very respected design annual Kamp Grizzly takes the spotlight in a multipage feature written by Portland based journalist Claire Sykes.

In late 2019, we had the very unique opportunity to work in collaboration with Kuumba International in Tokyo to create a custom incense scent and burner can.

The original Stay Purple scent burns with the fragrance of grape, tobacco and vetiver.  The accompanying iconic Kuumba Burner Can is finished in a glossy periwinkle and holds the sticks upside down, catching the ashes as they burn.

As we all deal with the effects of COVID 19, we hope that this scent can lift the vibe of our shelters as we practice social distancing.  To support ongoing efforts to combat the virus, we will be donating 100% of the sales proceeds from these products to Meals on Wheels, helping to provide nourishment and independence to senior citizens across the country through these trying times.

Purchase the Burner Can and receive 2 packs of Stay Purple with it, or order the packs on their own to use with your favorite incense burner at home.
