Externalise the collective conscience with this collaborative tee by artist Jason Phu and ALPHA60. Slip it on and chill the f*#k out.
JASON PHU X ALPHA60 X RISING GLASS MUG — $30
One fish’s existential crisis is your gain. Our Jason Phu X ALPHA60 heatproof glass mug features a classically Phu line drawing of a finned philosopher, his rude mate and a mean eel. Cute gang.
JASON PHU X ALPHA60 X RISING SHOWER CURTAIN — $50
Ditch the ancient shower curtain left by the previous tenants in favour of some new shower buddies. Take your daily scrub accompanied by a classic Jason Phu illustration.
LIN ONUS X ALPHA60 X RISING LONG SLEEVE TEE—WHITE COCKATOO — $90
Artist Lin Onus’s 1991 Melbourne Art Tram returns in two tees, made in collaboration with ALPHA60. The designs combine balanced opposites representing First Peoples groups and the harmonious moieties of yirritja and dua.
Patricia Piccinini X ALPHA60 Tee — $90
Featuring La Brava—the singing cat-meets-running shoe sculpture and belle of The Ballroom. For the bold and daring, it’s perfect for fire signs like Tina Turner, one of the divas who inspired La Brava’s creation.
Miracle Cap — $49
A limited-edition cap from RISING, Patricia Piccinini and ALPHA60. A Miracle Constantly Repeated was an exhibition grounded in speculative optimism and hope—and we’re always ready to stamp this on our foreheads.
