Relationships by Bezel Wang "I'm trying to protrait the hands, as the subject in my practice, to express how I feel or to interpret the possible situations in the relationships between people." 「我試圖以手作為拍攝的主體,來表達我內心的情感,或是用來詮釋人與人之間關係中可能產生的互動。」
From the Earth by Maggie Harrsen A selction of works from two series "Solidago" and "Kanoa" by New York based photographer Maggie Harrsen. She takes her practices in the connection with nature life and all living creatures.

Xue Picks: Aleksandra Waliszewska 來自波蘭華沙的女藝術家Aleksandra Waliszewska,乍看充滿可怖、獵奇、邪教氣氛的畫作,裡面卻像是自成一個重新規範起來的世界。我們過去平凡印象裡認定的壞,重新敲碎成為一個異世界基底的材料,在此重新翻譯這些見到的畫面,好比是群獸的狂歡、喪屍的舞蹈。所有暴力都變成一種正常溝通的語言。
Luminant Screen Shapings by Stephan Tillmans It's a photographic series of old tube televisions taken at the very moment they are switched off. The TV picture breaks down and is abstracted to its essential element: light. Each of these photographs is from a different TV, but it's also the length of exposure, timing, and time the TV has been running before the photo is taken that affects the results.

Sistema di riferimento monodimensionale by Lamberto Teotino Teotino說到:「這消失的某一段,對於慣於以立體(3D)的空間視角來思考的觀者來說,仿佛就像消失的百慕達三角洲一樣。」黑白老照片本身影射著某一個凍結的當下時刻,卻因為藝術家的操作手法,似乎突然多出了一份浮出於現實和紙上的黑洞象限,更加顯得意味深長而深富哲學性了。
Toilet Paper x Seletti Right from the start we liked the idea that Toiletpaper was a label that could be applied to a broad series of objects: magazines, books, plates, mugs and tablecloths. Pierpaolo and I are like sadistic scientists: everything that’s around us can be infected by the TP virus, we continually test different samples and we analyze the results, so that Toiletpaper can become a style, and not just a photographic one

Xue Picks: Lena Amuat & Zoë Meyer 這些作品來自於Lena Amuat & Zoë Meyer兩個藝術家的合作,他們分別居住在柏林和蘇黎世。經由某個網站上的圖片來源找了回去,仍然沒有得到太多的訊息,只知道它們叫做Flügel,德文的翅膀。接著就想到前一陣子發現藏在神秘之處的某張紙條上的句子,「基於模糊的動機,所凝聚成的現象」這句話抄寫在跟這些翅膀狀態很相似的紙張上面。斷掉的、散落的、遺失主體。
James Blake - Overgrown This new music video is directed by Nabil Elderkin, who's previously worked with Kayne West and Bon Iver. As it's his first time working with James Blake, he's done a great job with poetic scenes for Blake's music. Though it seems the video also featured the character from Harry Potter.......

The families of flowering plants Descriptions, Illustrations, Identification, and Information Retrieval by L. Watson and M. J. Dallwitz(1992 onwards). Always fond of the texture of these botanical hand drawings, it's more like art than science when they've been recorded in this way.

Shanbei, Telling a tale by the Blind: A photo show by Ching-Shao Yen 「 這兒,看不見的人正給看得見的人說一本『書』, 一本他們牢牢記在心底的先人的書,一本他們親身體驗、感受過的書, 一本一代一代以心靈相傳的書。 」
DIMENSION VARIABLES by Nico Krijno Nico Krijno photographs are at once hyperreal and otherworldly, seen as a physical performance with humour, sexual innuendo and surreality present in equal measure. Raw as well as magical, the work contains a dirty realism he is beginning to make his own.
