"My aim is to draw the viewer in with bright cheesy colours and curious props, on second glance they realise that something is not quite right, floating razors or a melting block of cheese often placed together with a profiled product. Conceptually...

Like a subtle play off its name, dichotomies are rich within True False, a series of photographic works by Brooklyn-based artist Brian Vu. It's a confusing series, to be sure; first glances and even repeat glances make one question why each of its...

Jan Julius (Musician): [The LP] Meat Shot Idyllic as a whole is wrestling with our apocalyptic times and finding moments of joy and resilience in queer communities, which “Manor Holes” exemplifies. I’m trying to make queer, anti-fascist art that speaks to our times, and speaks to communities surviving the interlocked crises of capitalism and global warming that we’re experiencing right now. I wrote most of the lyrics to the song before COVID-19 hit, but the pandemic has highlighted how severe the housing crisis is, and how little our institutions are willing to do to ensure poor people have housing. “Manor Holes High Rise” shows a not-unattainable utopian daydream of life free of parasitic landlords and institutions, where marginalized communities can support and protect one another.
