In Katie Lyle’s paintings, forms are suspended by planes of grout. This common building material, a composite of water, cement, and sand, is typically used to fill the voids in structural elements, sealing critical joints or openings.

Eyedress is an LA-based enigma who can’t quite be pinned down.

 Glint is the latest album by samb_rules aka Sam Bell. Inspired by shared Minecraft adventures with friends and years of collaboration with fellow artists, Glint represents a new direction for Sam, trading in hyper-effected blown out soundscapes for preset piano and a collection of no frills…

A haunting music film exploring the realm of myth and melancholia with interwoven saxophone, bass clarinet and cello melodies.

Petal, Fortress, Blood and Evening Star, a duo exhibition by Olga Abeleva and Andrea Lukic, draws inspiration from Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. The exhibition explores themes of linguistic decay, historical amnesia, and the haunting persistence of myth.

Street Flash #2 is the second iteration of London photographer Will Wright’s foray into zine-making and street style archiving.

Baird strips the art to its marrow to harness its most primitive, natural components.
