Ethan Cook is a Brooklyn based artist, working within the history of ‘painting’ but with none of the paint. Instead, Cook creates his pared down compositions from canvas alone. The outcome is seen in austere yet compelling works that challenge the picture plane by turning the surface into the painting. His work has developed through various series, all of which utilize and transform different aspects of the material. His most recent works, photographed by Clement Pascal, are made from pieces of different colored canvas, which he weaves himself.

Not one to shy away from ground-breaking exhibitions, Kaldor Art Projects brings in yet another ambitious show to Sydney, Australia.
13 Rooms is the 27th in the Kaldor Art Projects series, an extraordinary organisation led by John Kaldor, who has been bringing in the most bar-raising and experiential exhibitions and artworks to Australia's shores since 1969. It doesn't seem so long ago since their first project, the infamous Wrapped Coast by Christo and Jeanne Claude, unveiled at Little Bay over 40 years ago.

Copenhagen's Galleri Nicolai Wallner has opened a new exhibition of work by Clare Rojas, marking a departure from the illustrative style the San Francisco-based artist is known for in favor of a more minimalist, geometric and abstract approach. Neither austere, nor aggressive, Rojas' latest paintings are equally as striking as her past work, utilizing warm color schemes and soft lines.

French-Canadian designer Philippe Malouin is one of the most innovative and investigative designers today. Québec-born and now London-based, his humble and friendly demeanour only strengthens his extensive portfolio that is equally unlike no other.
Alongside his interior-architecture firm Post Office, Phillipe's personal designs in furniture and products have also gained him worldwide attention. It is his unconventional work structure and stamina for research that produces unprecedented outcomes, the core basis to his focus and dedication.

Lucien Smith and Half Gallery founder Bill Powers were in the midst of installing Smith's exhibition at the gallery when Hurricane Sandy hit. The two roamed New York that night, from the Lower East Side to the galleries of Chelsea, resulting in a series of photographs and consequent zine that capture Manhattan in rare ghost town mode.

Shortly after Zambia gained independence in 1964 an optimistic project was launched to enter it into the space race and beat both the Americans and Soviet Union. It was headed by a school teacher called Edward Makuka and his intention was to send twelve astronauts and one cat into space a year later on Zambia's Independence day. UNESCO however decided not to grant Zambia the millions of pounds needed. Due to a combination of lacking financial aid and one of the astronauts becoming pregnant, the project was never realised.
