Anyone fancy a trip to Venice? Miranda July has a fantastic new set of work at the 53rd Venice Biennale entitled ‘Eleven Heavy Things’. From pedestals, to headdresses, to white slabs with holes for fingers and arms – the pieces are all designed for maximal interaction (and photo opportunities). There are surprisingly few images of [...]

The Whitest Loft Conversion
Posted in Inspirational, Interiors on June 12, 2009 | 4 Comments »
So often loft conversions feel stale and impersonal – but I am really impressed with this one.

Wow – this house in São Paulo from architect Marcio Kogan is…. well, just really cool (honestly, I can’t think of a better word!)

I went to see ‘The Singer’ Teitur last night at the ICA. In addition to a great show, there were some fantastic posters for sale by artist Mathias Malling Mortensen. With a name like that – he is clearly destined for great things! A few examples of his papercuts and paintings below.
