The Collapse of the American Shopping Mall

The Collapse of the American Shopping Mall by Seph Lawless – a haunting documentary photo series about broken store windows, ceiling panels fall out of their frames, dried flower beds and other torn down mall interiors. Shopping malls, the commercial anchors of the U.S. suburbs, are going dark.

Your Waste of Time

Famous Danish-Icelandic artist Ólafur Elíasson is well known for his sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light and water. In 2013 he placed several massive pieces of ice that broke off from Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, in a room that was cooled down below 0°. The oldest ice in the glacier is estimated to have originated some 800 years ago. »Your Waste of Time« took place as part of EXPO 1: New York in New York City (he first exhibited ice in 2006 in Berlin).

Hubwagen

Reality is a just a concept. Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade transforms and duplicates unnoticed everyday objects like a hand pallet truck into the language of illusion, an imaginary, parallel dimension. The possibility not to function (or function differently?) is a subconscious capacity. Hubwagen by Alicja Kwade.

Rave – A Cellebration of British Dance

The world’s greatest male disco dancers are over 50, wear 80’s fashion outfits and got a weakness for performances in museums. »Rave – A Cellebration of British Dance« directed by Rollo Jackson is pitched as »a neon celebration of the dance« filmed on location at the recently renovated Tate Britain, with a soundtrack from Warp artist Rustie. Warp x Tate was held last December at London’s major museum.
