There are many people and stories involved in exhibitions or art fairs, below are some that A4 assisted.

Caridad from our Miami office attended an excellent panel discussion at the Canale Diaz Art Center about Art as Investment! They featured panelists Gregg Shiembaum, Aldo Menéndez, Irina Leyva-Pérez and Francisco Arévalo moderation by Director Marco Canale! What an informative and insightful night!

The above infographic provided by JOC.com illustrates the requirements for the latest mandate by SOLAS or “Safety of Life at Sea” an International Maritime Organization.

The mandate went into effect earlier this month, July 1st 2016, and it requires all shipping containers to be accompanied by an official document (paper or electronic) signed by the shipper verifying the weight of the container by either one of two official methods shown above.

The purpose of this new mandate is to ensure the container vessel is properly loaded to avoid accidents and loss of containers in the future. While it is an extra step added to an already complex process, it will hopefully prevent losses down the road.

Atelier4 for one, is more than happy to comply.

Atelier 4’s Christopher Hicks just returned from competing at two International Downhill Federation World Cup races earlier in June, and was in the Streetluge final at both events finishing 2nd at the Mahackamac 400 in Port Jervis, NY, and 4th at the Downhill Throwdown in beautiful Killington, VT.

At Killington the streetluge racers were regularly travelling at 80 mph, confirmed by the local police radar!

Luckily Chris was immaculate both weekends, and never put one wheel off the track in tight racing heats with the top ranked riders from around the world.

Chris would like to thank his sponsors Predator Helmets, CHiX Wheels, Skanunu Lubricants, and of course Atelier 4 for their support.
