If you’re lucky enough to be in New York this summer go along to Matthew Brandt at Yossi Milo Gallery. Here is a peek of what’s on show with extracts from our interview with the artist last month.

Substituting developing supplies for everyday materials (including lake water, ketchup & human sweat), fine art photographer Matthew Brandt questions the nature of the relationship between photographer and subject.
“Lana is the mother of Wendy and Cornelius. She is all black and very gentle and shy at night you can hear her sing from the outside of the building all the way to the house she is singing because she is bringing me a present usually little bits of fabric or lace. She has never brought anything dead, no mouses[sic] or insects just pretty bits of fabric.
Wendy is the little fat tubby one/ she is very clever but extremely lazy. She loves food, heat and attention. She is the one who always comes to get her picture taken she has got so fat that she can’t wash herself properly and has developed little matted dreadlocks on her back.
Cornelius is more like a dog than a cat he is very, very constantly vocal. He loves cuddles but is afraid of heights; but he spends all his days at the top of the archive cupboard or in the ceiling from where he cannot get himself down so I have to climb on a ladder to lift him down, he’s a bit stupid but lovely.”

“How you dress is something that concerns everybody, even if you refuse it you’re taking position.”

I sent a package to designers Meadham Kirchhoff before their latest (AW12) show, see what they did with it here:

A few of us popped down to the Community Kite Project which took place at Space Fiftyfour gallery last weekend. Curated by artist Jo Peel, there was a wall full of individually designed kites by an array of artists from the likes of Hattie Stewart, EMA, Kid Acne and Alexander Turvey. The Community Kite Project offered sessions which allowed participants to make their own custom kite. A lot more fiddly than we’d initially thought, but definitely worth it in the end. We’ve now got our own quirky kites which are just waiting to be flown (potentially on rooftops!) on the group kite flying day coming up.
