Working with local artisans across Africa and the Middle East in a variety of mediums, French multidisciplinary artist and designer Louis Barthélemy @louisbarthelemy creates contemporary artworks and artefacts based on centuries-old techniques, driven by his commitment to conserving and supporting vernacular handicrafts threatened by globalization. Inspired by the mystical universe of Senegalese wrestling which Barthélemy immersed himself during a trip to #Dakar, his latest series of appliquéd tapestries, “Wrestlers”, evocatively encapsulates the anthropological-informed approach of his practice as well as reflects the diverse influences behind his work. Made with “bazin”, a type of cotton brocade popular in West Africa, the quilt-like tapestries were handcrafted in Cairo in collaboration with Egyptian artisans who practice “khayamiya”, a type of decorative appliqué technique historically used to decorate tents across the Middle East. On view at Théodore Monod Museum of African Art in Dakar until January 20, 2022.

Sitting adjacent to the entrance of @ngadc National Gallery of Art’s East Building in Washington, DC, Henry Moore’s monumental “Knife Edge Mirror Two Piece” epitomise the artist’s late period which was defined by powerful, complex abstract forms, experimentation with materials and scale, and a new dynamic relationship with architecture. Commissioned by the museum in 1973 to design a grand sculpture for East Building’s Pennsylvania Avenue façade, Moore developed Knife Edge Mirror Two Piece in collaboration with the building’s architect I.M. Pei despite his acknowledged aversion to architects and architectural commissions – perhaps a sign of his maturing sensibilities. That’s not to say that the 4-year process was all smooth sailing, Moore’s insistence on being able to see the sculpture from all sides that for all his meant that I.M. Pei had to redesign the original pedestal into a triangular promontory jutting out from the terrace.

“Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?”, Edgar Allan Poe poignantly asked in one of his poems in 1849, an existential query that has crossed all of our minds at some point (usually during sleepless nights). In fact, the concept of life as illusion has been gnawing at human consciousness since time immemorial, from ancient shamans who called the surface of life a dream, to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, to the philosophical musings of Descartes and Kant, to popular culture – think The Matrix, Inception and pretty much most of David Lynch’s filmography. As Monica Bellucci cryptically said in Twin Peaks’ third season, “We are like the dreamer who dreams, and then lives inside the dream.”

Featuring 13 large-scale, media-based installations, “LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art” is an immersive London exhibition that brings together 12 of the world’s most celebrated new media artists and collectives working with the latest audio-visual technologies. Organised by SUUM Project in collaboration with Fact, the exhibition unfolds at @180.studios, a Brutalist edifice in central London which has been transformed into a multipurpose venue and home to several creative brands. The installations, several of which are new commissions, blur the lines between the physical and virtual worlds and expanding the boundaries of interactive and immersive art.

Imagine Xiao’s true form being a little sparrow. No wonder he choose to be tiny - he simply thought that’s a normal height.
(This thought hit me when I saw some sparrows on my morning run. Was probably done before)

Time is Gold
I messed up so much with this.
Couldn’t pick good colors for this one and kept re-coloring everything… It looked so bad I had to do it in greyscale to save it.
And then I somehow merged all layers before saving and closing and had to work with it like that.
Looked way better in my head lol

Gave that poor guy an actual ref because I liked him enough.
-Name’s Mint. 20ish
-Former scout for his vilage.
-Only caught two Pokemon with Pokeballs, the rest were just befriended and are free to go if they want.
-Always mocked by the other kids for having droopy eyes. Let his hair grow out to cover his eyes.
-Was kicked out of the vilage by his family.
-Mostly camping in caves of the Alabaster Icelands.
Yes, it’s wrapped in the wrong direction. I know what it means, that’s intentional.
