The Quarterly Issue 3
Advert-free photographic journal, The Quarterly, seeks funding on Kickstarter for third issue The voluntary team behind the award-winning photography publication, The Quarterly, has returned to Kickstarter to raise the final funds needed for a larger print run for the third issue of the magazine.
The advert-free publication has developed a large following online and the respect of the photography industry in its 9-month existence and this final round of funding is “crucial” to its ongoing success, said the journal’s editor, Sanj Sahota.
We’ve grown so much in the last few months and now we’re finally at a point where we have the audience loyalty to print loads more copies but we need a small amount of funding to get there,
Each issue of The Quarterly is given one theme and professional photographers from around the world are invited to propose ideas and creative interpretations on each theme, Sanj explained.
Check the details of Issue 3 on the Quarterly website

UVA explore light and movement with great new installation - Momentum
“My first question was how can we curve light,” Matt Clark of United Visual Artists says standing in the studio’s new installation at London’s Barbican. Momentum – which opens today – consists of “12 pendulums that activate light and sound as they swing” but that doesn’t come close to explaining the brilliant experience it provides.

Evolution Door
As a daydreamer I often imagine my ideal house during the routine, placing objects I adore on the web to its corners. Yesterday I found my perfect door created by Austrian artist Klemens Torggler and titled "Evolution Door". I can watch it in action for eternity. Torggler calls this system a “flip panel door” (Drehplattentür), and it’s almost more of a kinetic sculpture than functional door.
