AAKASH NIHALANI

I love magic but I hate magicians. I love optical illusions but I hate when I don’t get them. I guess it comes to no surprise that I’m beguiled by New York artist Aakash Nihalani.

KARLA BLACK

Karla Black’s work has a tendency to make one feel like they’ve entered another world. The sculptor represented Scotland in the 2011 Venice Biennale and her multi-room installation in an old palazzo was a dreamy pastel vision, the wafting clouds of cellophane and powder offset by neatly raked dirt floors and peeling paint of the building.

AMY LONGWORTH

One gets the impression that it must be exhausting being Amy Longworth. The Brisbane-based artist has her fingers in many pies, working across installation, drawing, collage, sculpture and video and collaborating with the fashion, music and film worlds.
