Peripetics

Peripetics or the Installation of an Irreversible Axis on a Dynamic Timeline

Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.

Ilse Crawford…We Love You!

One look at the lush interior designs at the Soho House New York and the High Road House in London, and you’ll quickly understand why celebrated designer Ilse Crawford claims “the most important space is the six centimeters around you.” Or, as The New York Times once put it, “her work doesn’t have a signature style, but a signature feeling: emotion and deeply rooted to the place.” Find out more about the formidable one-woman show and her seminal work in Gestalten.tv’s latest podcast interview, shot in Crawford’s homebase of London.

Turning the Place Over

We are late, veryverylate…sorry about it!!

Turning the Place Over – Richard Wilson, Liverpool Biennale 2007

Porn by Robbie Cooper – Wall

In a new film of startling power and unsettling intimacy – produced exclusively for wallpaper.com – video artist and photographer Robbie Cooper shoots back at porn aficionados lost in ecstatic release.

Watch Robbie Cooper’s Immersion:Porn project

Exclusively to wallpaper.com,Cooper’s remarkably raw, powerful and intimate videos of people talking about enjoying porn. Be aware that this is not easy titillation. These videos throw up any number of questions about voyeurism and exhibitionism and make clear the incredible nakedness of the solo sex act. But as Woody Allen said: ‘Don’t knock masturbation. It’s sex with someone I love.’

Charlotte Gainsbourg “Heaven Can Wait”

Further Complications – Jarvis Cocker

Further Complications by Jarvis Cocker directed by Stéphanie Di Giusto. Even if you do mind, the effects to this video are pretty fantastic and shouldn’t be missed. The simplicity of the white background definitely makes him pop, and it feels a tad like a slick Apple commercial, but wow — that paper folding technique is off the charts cool.
