"Meredith Marsone's (formerly Collins) paintings and drawings explore questions of heritage and identity. At times there is a tension in her works that reference her Pakeha and Māori heritage, ta moko or floral designs delicately adorn faces of her subjects. Heritage as well as the continuity of one's lineage are depicted in Meredith's works which often feature her with her daughters."

Director Bennett Johnson, along with the support of production company All:Expanded, has found yet another captivating story to tell. In “Coach Pamz”, which will be available on Bennett Johnson’s Vimeo channel on August 29, 2016, the director travelled with Cinematographer David Kruta to the Bronx and Spanish Harlem to document the turbulent yet triumphant life of street football legend Coach Pamz and his notorious team, Carver Mobb.
Shortlisted for the Young Director's Award at Cannes, “Coach Pamz” is a fiveminute account of the life and struggles of Paul “Pamz” Rivera – a coach in the world of New York street football, a tough, innercity sport that sprang out of the South Bronx and various other Latin and African-American neighborhoods 40 years ago.

Based on a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.
'To fall, patiently to trust our heaviness'
Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem ‘Gravity’s Law’, McDermott taps into themes of meditation and nature in a deliberate response to the overload of information in modern society.
He was drawn to The Barbican Centre and estate because of its otherworldly quality and achieves a sense of calm with his long free-falling shots against the brutalist architecture.
“My paintings incorporate elements of both fiction and reality, and are brought to fruition through a varied means of production. I draw from a pool of collected images that are then digitally edited, and serve as a starting point for a process-based practice.
The paintings lend themselves to a simulation of reality, presenting a hyperreal aesthetic that is heightened by the screen-like finish of the work. Perspectival planes are shifted, flattened or extended, warping the notion of depth within the image, presenting a simultaneous distancing and magnification that offers multiple readings of the work. Although the aesthetic of the work suggests a digitally mediated experience of the urban environment, broken and dripped paint ground the work in a more traditional notion of materiality.”
Hakanaï is a solo choreographic performance that unfolds through a series of images in motion. In Japanese Hakanaï denotes that which is temporary and fragile, evanescent and transient, and in this case something set between dreams and reality. This symbolic relationship is the foundation of the dance composition in which a dancer gives life to a space somewhere between the borders of imagination and reality, through her interactions with the images she encounters. Performed by Adrien M and Claire B (previously) it was debuted in San Francisco few years ago.
Josh Sperling is a young contemporary artist currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Sperling’s works on canvas waver between wall sculptures and paintings. Building layered plywood structures by hand, the artist stretches canvas over these forms to create a subtle relief.
Beautiful ode to the NY City shot by young film enthusiast Leon Jamrosy
Permanent contemporary tattoo is nothing new since Tattly project run by famous design tank Tina Roth Eisenberg but Taiwan-raised US based artist John Yuyi taking it to the new level. "FACE POST is the artist’s three-part series and a nod to social media via her aforementioned, now-signature transfer stickers. The stickers are reminiscent of the superhero tattoos you’d get in those packets of “cigarette” sweets, applied with a modest dunk of water but maintained the staying power of super-glue – it’s this use of familiar objects in a witty way that gives her work its relatability." says Dazed Digital
