Spellbinding Collages by Luis Dourado
By: Monique Inthasone
Luis Dourado is a Portuguese artist and illustrator based in Berlin. He transform his deconstruction of natural elements to rebuild them into entrancing new arrangements. He uses small scale petals to leaves that scale larger. In "The Garden" collage series, Dourado is able to showcase the varying saturation through the stark contrasting and even complementary pieces that are put together. The final results seem to create a new type of floral. Dourado believes that it’s like a two dimensional dialogue that results in a weird visual experience. His creations evokes “a maze of memories, dreams and illusions”. The “Moons” series takes on the role of trying to captivate us with the strong imagery of something so close yet so distant. Unlike "The Garden" series this piece is made out of a single image of the moon. The manipulation is mathematical and extremely precise, there are no elements added from the original picture. The effects of this art work signify a fictitious moon, a type of transmuted planet that keeps it’s original Characteristic, which also changes unexpectedly.

HISTORY OF NOTHING
By: Lauren Serino
Through mid April, 2016, White Cube Bermondsey will be holding an exhibition which features the work of eleven talented artists (Thomas Bayrle, Katherine Bernhardt, Mike Bouchet, Nicholas Cheveldave, Anthea Hamilton, Eloise Hawser, Zak Kitnick, Josh Kline, Josephine Meckseper, and Timur Si Qin). Curated by Hannah Gruy, History of Nothing earned it's title from a 1960's film by Eduardo Paolozzi. It is an eclectic combination of contemporary art designed to propel observers into thought about the perception of the "American dream."
"In his seminal film History of Nothing, Paolozzi creates a complex sequence of objects, architecture and landscapes, collaged together and accompanied by sounds... Continuing this vernacular, the artists in this exhibition employ branding strategies and use consumer iconography to explore the increasingly insatiable appetite for acquisition, whether material, cultural or ideological." -- White Cube, Press Release
For ages, the American dream has been the face of the ideal life for ordinary people: one that is equipped with freedom and opportunity. Each artist included in History of Nothing provides awareness of modern (yet deeply rooted) issues, displaying the impact of enforced commercialism. Critiquing multiple aspects of modern culture, these artists do an amazing job of confronting the elephant in the room in a beautiful way.

REFIK ANADOL: INFINITY ROOM
By: Lauren Serino
Refik Anadol is a media artist and designer from Turkey, and is residing in Los Angeles. Anadol is most fascinated by contemporary culture and spacial perception. Using these interests, Anadol created an immersive room called Infinity Room. It projects patterns across its four walls, as audiovisuals provide an abstract experience for the observer.
In Istanbul, Turkey, the Zorlu Center of Performing Arts currently has Anadol's exhibition on display.
"For this installation, that non-physical world is infinity algorithmically generated using light, sound, and projection. The result is a room that looks like you've just stepped into some kind of otherworldly portal or cosmic gateway, as the swirls, curls, and linear forms cause the walls to melt away. But Anadol says the idea is not purely escapism, instead it's a chance to cleanse those doors of perception—a kind of psychotropic experience..." -- The Creators Project, Press Release "Embedding media arts into architecture, he questions the possibility of a post digital architectural future in which there are no more non-digital realities. He invites the viewers to visualize alternative realities by presenting them the possibility of re-defining the functionalities of both interior and exterior architectural formations." -- Refik Anadol's biography

Capitol Hill Loft Renovation by SHED Architecture & Design - Seattle, WA
By: Roedah Mansour
In the past year, a home on Seattle's Capitol Hill was renovated by the SHED architects and designers to become an custom-crafted urban remodeled lofts. The architects have noted that the building accommodates eight loft-style condominiums with large windows overlooking the rest of the neighborhood. The client was a young couple working nearby the building, and they went to SHED with "an original layout that did not harmonize with everyday living patterns; an exposed entry way, lack of storage and oversized hallway left no place to hide. The main challenge was to add functional elements to the space that blended with the building’s original palette of concrete floors, zinc plated pan-decking ceiling, and blackened steel beams and railings." And that is exactly what the SHED architects and designers were able to accomplish.
SHED Architecture & Design used a mix of raw materials, functional components and texture to marry the additions to the industrial complex with concrete brick, stainless steel, blackened steel, and mirrors, the mirrors in specific expanding the feeling of space withing each of the lofts. The architects and designers note that "the brick found in the backsplash and island was chosen for its sympathetic materiality that is forceful enough to blend in with the native steel, while the boldly grained Zebra wood casework adds warmth and character." The island itself allows for a great amount of storage, a built-in microwave and potential seating area. The microwave is powered by what the team calls a "curly cord" that hangs from the ceiling. The wood top of the island provides comfortable functionality while the steel counter wrapping around the sink and oven range protect for kitchen usage. Geometric wallpaper (by local designer Brian Paquette) surrounds the scene, granting a faint texture and movement to the space.
The extended kitchen serves to create a protected entry way gives way to the natural progression of space, with the open shelving above the extension allowing for light to shine through as well as allowing for decorative objects to be placed there. The mirrored wall opposite of the living room windows reflects light throughout the space, livening up the loft area.
"The thoughtful mix of raw materials and targeted elements helped solve practical problems while building upon and enriching the original aesthetic of the building, leading to cohesive additions that feel native to the space. " -- SHED Architecture & Design
Considering that the loft is so limited in square footage, being able to utilize any and all areas of the loft was a primary concern for SHED workers who looked forward to taking a "small home" approach in designing and portioning the loft spaces, so details like using a steel plate for bike storage was important.
With that being said, in the main "master" bedroom, the SHED team defined closet space with the use of perforated steel that rejected any closed spaces, rather maintaining the openness of the layout. This allowed for the spread of light throughout the room to create an airiness to areas that would otherwise normally be considered tight and crowded.
The loft upstairs was opposite, being closed off with a translucent wall panel and a framed wall to create guest room/storage spaces.
"These functional elements are things we think about when designing a new space; it’s a consistent theme on all our projects." -- Thomas Schaer, Principal of SHED Architecture & Design

Isabel Marant Pre-Fall 2016
By: Dylan Lewis
I believe that this year may be the peak of minimalism being a fashion trend. When a trend is at it's peak, you'll see designers focus on a look that they usually wouldn't. Since minimalism is at it's peak, Isabel Marant decided to take a chance. In this collection, she primarily sticks to neutral colors with little use of motifs in her garments. In this collection, she also uses her knee-high boots to add a pop of color. Isabel Marant has successfully executed the idea of "Less is More."

DARREN ALMOND: TIME AND BEING
By: Lauren Serino
Darren Almond is an English contemporary artist whom is currently residing in London. He is best known for his sculptures, photography, and filmmaking. A graduate from the Winchester School of Art, only two years passed before his first solo exhibition. The majority of Almond's work focuses on time, travel, and nature.
In the Fall of 2010, White Cube displayed Almond's exhibition The Principle of Moments. It consisted of a forty minute video with audio, as well as three walls; each with six columns of the same image.
Starting today (January 29, 2016), White Cube will be display another one of Darren Almond's exhibitions until early March, titled Time and Being.
"This exhibition continues this interest and addresses what it means to exist in both real and fictional realms of temporality... Almond’s mirror pieces, clock sculptures and nocturnal landscapes employ patterns that are in harmony with our circadian clock, recalling how physical and mental experience is effected by illumination and the presence of numbers. The structures in operation in the works exhibited in the ground floor gallery are what forge the relationships in the paintings on show in the first floor gallery. Both the sky and numerical systems are not tangible, but are ‘phantasmic’ enigmas that we cannot exist without." -- White Cube Hong Kong, 2016
"Arranged in sets of 24 framed panels..." White Cube states, "the photographs present a constantly shifting canvas and a melancholy register of the passing of time."

Viktor and Rolf channels Picasso
By: Dylan Lewis
After watching the Viktor and Rolf 2016 couture collection, I always admired how ostentatious their designs could be. The couture collection from 2015 had a very interesting and unique inspiration. The looks from the 2015 couture collection had was called "Wearable Art." To live up to this name, the designs were literal garments made out of framed painting that seemed to be broken down into dresses. Being a fan of Picasso, his art was reminiscent in these design pieces. The all white tennis dresses with structured pique add-ons created facial structures within the dresses. These add-ons included ruffles, and 3-D pieces to create a facial structure in the garment. Also, there were cutouts in the dresses to insinuate the presence of breasts at the knees of the garments. These dresses were also paired with the new Dr. Marten Combs boot giving the looks a sense of casual grittiness to balance out the avant-garde details of the dresses. There is no doubt that this collection required extremely rigorous work hours to complete. In this fashion show, the models are walking pieces of art.
