Under the Same Sun identity by OK-RM Studio
Design studio OK-RM has devised a striking graphic identity for Under the Same Sun, an exhibition of contemporary art from Latin America at the South London Gallery.
OK-RM created a new identity for the exhibition to coincide with its move to London. The design combines eye-popping brights with playful type and bold graphic shapes: OK-RM says it represents “an embedded energy in Latin American art and culture” and “a unique relationship with the Modernist canon.”
A World of Wonders
"When you stand among the handiwork of teamLab, a Japanese tech art studio, you’re seemingly transported to a sprawling foreign land that engulfs you in a vibrant, light-filled splendor. This immersive approach is now the focus of a massive exhibition that spans 3,000 square meters (over 32,000 square feet) and is called DMM.Planets Art by teamLab. It showcases a variety of the group’s digital work throughout the years, including new pieces just revealed to the public.
The exhibition features four spaces that offer kaleidoscopic colour schemes and multi-sensory activities. Each piece has its own distinct smell, including: the aroma of flowers, a forest, and “the universe”—a scent that astronaut Naoko Yamazaki helped create."

Anish Kapoor’s London Studios by CaseyFierro Architects
For the past 20 years, Kapoor has been creating enormous sculptures from his studio in a converted dairy factory in south London
Five years ago, Kapoor approached Michael Casey of London-based Caseyfierro about renovating his studio and the buildings he had purchased next door, which altogether take up an entire city block. Caseyfierro went about turning the 3,100 square metres of space into a series of six studios that vary dramatically in scale and function. Each space is designed around a specific act – forming, finishing, testing, painting, drawing, documenting & archiving – with each carrying a distinct atmosphere responding to a material or process. As one would expect, each studio space is designed to be highly flexible, having the ability to morph with Kapoor’s practice.
Retro Serif for Monotype by Polina Hohonova
London based graphic designer Polina Hohonova was recently awarded by D&AD Yellow Pencil (Gold) for her graduation project at Chelsea College of Arts (Tutor: David Barnett)
Retro Serif for Monotype
Retro Serif is a project about the revival of glyphs in the Russian alphabet that had been omitted after the revolution. When the Bolsheviks came to power, says student Polina Hohonova, the letters I, Ѳ, Ѣ were omitted from the ‘new’ Russian alphabet as they were regarded as symbols of the aristocratic ‘High Russian’ and therefore representative of the defunct Tsarist Russia. Those symbols were part of the language of Pushkin and Tolstoy. “Reviving these characters is a protest against the prescribed dictatorship of the language,” she says.
Tales of Colour
““Made in Italy,” is a label that deserves to be noticed as it consistently stands for impeccable craftsmanship, extreme inventiveness, and subtle yet noticeable sophistication. All three of these titles can easily be bestowed both upon Santoni shoes, the purveyor of fine, hand-made Italian artisanship and the compelling work of storytelling photographer, Simone Bramante, aka @brahmino. No surprise then that the two have joined collaborative forces for Tales of Colours, the new campaign highlighting the mastery, art, and narrative represented within the stitches and fine leather of each handmade Santoni shoe. ”
Josef Hoflehner Photography
"Each of Hoflehner’s photographs achieves a perfection of composition that seems to defy the possibility that it could ever be seen any other way. Gripping in their ultimate solitude and the unexpected natural beauty they capture, Hoflehner's photographs take his earthly subject matter to raise it to an almost mythical level, defining the essence of the place. In these rare and elusive moments, the natural and the man made are brought together in a poetic interplay of light and shadow, emptiness and structure"
La Fábrica
The Cement Factory from the first period of the industrialisation of Barcelona, “The Factory”, keeps on living as a creative space inspired by Surrealism, Astraction and Brutalism. With its Cathedral, Garden and Silos, new and old generations work together surrounded by windows, doors, stairs, false perspectives, in a continuous unfinished work.
“We found enormous silos, a tall smoke snack, four kilometers of underground tunnels, machine rooms in good shape… This was fifteen year ago and it was our first encounter with the Cement Factory. Seduced by the contradictions and the ambiguity of the place, we decided quickly to retain the factory and, modifying its original brutality, sculpt it like a work of art.”

Sea Of Hull by Spencer Tunick
The streets of Hull (England) were transformed into an ocean of painted human flesh as 3,200 volunteers braved the North Sea chill to create an incredible spectacle. Called the Sea Of Hull, it was the biggest nude art installation Britain has ever seen and the brainchild of US photographer Spencer Tunick, who was impressed at how wholeheartedly his idea was embraced.

There is No Planet B
4-7 July, London
On July 4th, Digital Decade’s annual art collaboration kicks off at the Underdog Gallery in London. This year’s exhibit, “There is No Planet B”, features the work of international digital artists who address the economic, social, political, and environmental problems we face by imagining a world without them.
Using their talent for photo manipulation and glitch art - the purposeful corruption of data within a digital file to create distorted yet aesthetic effects - 25 invited artists and 2 winners of The Open Call contest come together to “Imagine there’s no… climate change, human aggression, war”, and more.
Curated by Arseny Vesnin from Designcollector Network, with help from Curioos, YOUTH Worldwide, and Depositphotos, the artworks will be featured on large aluminum prints until July 6th.

Translated Vase by Yeesookyung
“Korean artist Yeesookyung masterfully produces imperfect sculptures, bulbous yet elegant works composed from mismatched porcelain. The series, titled “Translated Vase,” was first inspired by the Korean artisan tradition of destroying porcelain works that are not deemed pristine, and she has continued to make the fused pieces since 2001. Intrigued by these tossed aside works and shards, Yee began saving fragmented tea cups and pots rejected by contemporary masters. Honoring the works’ dismantled states, she traces each crevice in 24-karat gold leaf in the style of Japanese kintsugi, merging the unwanted works together in a way that heightens the beauty of their distress. In this way she blends diverse methods to form a contemporary process that evokes both the elegant designs of her homeland and the delicate rebuilding of damaged works in Japanese tradition.”

Our Time - United Visual Artists 2016
Our Time (2016) is the latest large-scale installation by United Visual Artists investigating our subjective experience of the passing of time. It defines a physical environment where pendulums swing at a pace apparently unhindered by the laws of nature and where no single time measurement applies. The installation combines movement, light and sound as a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional canvas the visitor can enter. Pendulums swing, each to their own rhythm, as time flows through the grid. With light tracing the path and sound its echo, the passing of time becomes almost palpable.
