Things: Space Bowls by Sebastian Errazuriz

Designed by Sebastian Errazuriz for Kikkerland, these celestial serving bowls are part of a small series of products exercises to help create resources to self fund the next series of public art interventions. No pretensions, just a small design exercise done with much love.

Yumiko Matsui: Paper Cities

NYC-based paper artist Yumiko Matsui has created miniature versions of the city of Tokyo using nothing more than colored paper and water-based glue. She then photographed her creations to alarming realistic effects. Yumiko's work reminds us of the tremendous aesthetic potential of basic art-making tools.

Nick Stern: You Are Not Bansky

For his photo series titled "You Are Not Bansky", LA-based photographer Nick Stern re-created some of Banksy's most iconic works, with a twist of reality. Nick explains, “I have always been intrigued by Banksy’s work and thought it would be fascinating to try and recreate some of his most famous images on camera.”

Francesca Pastine: ArtForum Excavations

Artist Francesca Pastine creates beautiful sculptural interventions using ARTFORUM magazines as her medium.The cut magazines are made by working through the pages, cutting around the paper until the only parts remaining are what she chooses. Speaking about her work, Francesca said, "Maintaining a strong connection to the physicality of drawing, my X-acto blade mimics a pencil. I eschew glue or other manipulations that change the inherent character of the magazines. In this way, they retain their association to what they are, carriers of information that have been handled, earmarked and scuffed over time."
