CLUBLAND REVISITED

Contemporary dance culture has deep roots in the LGBT communities. However, it seems that this background is still largely unrecognised today. Terre Thaemlitz aka DJ Sprinkles is therefore a major figure within the club scene. By making this very origin visible and talking about the issues around this discourse, she is also one of dance [...]

Are We Having Fun?

Berlin’s annual Gallery Weekend is coming up, and this year Pointer Footwear and Lodown Magazine joined forces to revive an old institution, one that’s located right next to an even older institution that’s about to die after 121 years in business: good ol’ 95 Gallery – this is what it looked like back [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: LITTLE DRAGON

COLORADO HOUSE

Colorado House is a small publishing company that focuses on beautiful, heart-warming editions based on collaborations with writers, artists, technicians and craftspeople. Their mission – my heart’s sparkling – to advance ’small, unlikely ideas that are in ongoing danger of being lost, forgotten or ruled out’. The first edition of ‘TIMES’ is available on their [...]

TWINKLE TWINKLE

Since relocating back to sunny Philadelphia (guys, the sunny part is a joke), I’ve been wanting to shed some love on one of Anerica’s most underrated art-poli. Because it’s been so gloomy recently, I feel particularly drawn to the work of Ray King–no pun intended–whose iridescent, delicate structures have been exhibited in multiple [...]

It’s the one Tumblr to end all Tumblrs: B4XVI, a blog established to document “an invisible conversation between hip hop and art before the 16th century” – happy Easter!
