Tuesday, May 8, 2012

STORE OF THE MONTH: FOYLES / LONDON

Friday, February 24, 2012

ARCHITECTURE OF DENSITY

Friday, November 25, 2011

Actually, I’m pretty tired of the usual images of Eastern tiger cities – skyscrapers, people crammed in subways, shoddy alleyways – not that I’m not intrigued like everyone else by the rise of Asia, but I’ve just seen them way too often.

WANDERING COMMA

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Opening tomorrow is Ryan McGinley’s new exhibition titled Wandering Comma (whatever that is supposed to mean…), at Alison Jacques Gallery in London, where he will be showing seven new large scale works – maybe for the first time functioning not so much as a series, but rather as single excerpts of his continuing practice of [...]

YOU HAVE TO SMASH THEM UP

Thursday, August 25, 2011

Destructive transmutation in the penumbra of the new Olympic Stadium on the tenth anniversary of the most influential destructive event of the 21st Century.
