a DBAFfavorite:Â Mona Hatoum | âUndercurrent (red)â | 2008 | Currently on view at @tatemodernuk Hatoumâs interest in craft and textiles, often explored in smaller-scale work, is realised dramatically here in a combination of traditional technique with unexpected materials. A square mat, woven from red electrical cable, forms the centre of this work. A long fringe snakes across the floor. At the end of each cable a 15-watt light bulb brightens and dims at what Hatoum describes as âbreathing paceâ, suggesting the object has a life force of its own. It hints at a malevolent presence underfoot.
We are currently visiting @artgalleryofontario to view âHow to Build a House Museumâ, a new immersive work by Theatre Gates that transforms the AGOâs 5th floor galleries into symbolic spaces in the tradition of the house museum, each dedicated to the potential Black creativity and freedom - past, present and future

The pieces then fit together into a geometric puzzle. The texture created from the stacked wood below gives each shape an extra layer of interest. (via Design Milk)

âIn a thrift shop, I found a songbook of American compositions and turn-of-the-century hymns. A lot of them sound like American spirituals from the 1800s. What we were looking for was something that wasnât completely recognizable but at the same time nostalgic and familiarâ - Lorna Simpson (via Aperture)
