Tenebrous and at times murky, Lewis Hammond’s solo exhibition, Still life, on view at Lulu in Mexico City, is nonetheless scored by a consistent pulse of luminosity. A soundtrack, or maybe the heartbeat of one of his smudge-hewn protagonists.

Zoe Koke’s body of work highlights the falseness of myths that have been presented to us in her display and assemblage of the afterlives of everyday objects, poking holes in the hollow promises that are global capitalism, perceived gender roles, and the American dream

O.S.S. (Open Sound System) is a new collaborative project from music producers Unknown Mobile and NAP. A product of friendship, O.S.S. was made by Daniel Rincon and Levi Bruce over a course of impromptu studio sessions and hangouts between Canadian coasts. O.S.S., the EP under the same name, can be described as “Rodeo Ambience.” The EP features five suites, which aim to invoke “god rays,” – the rays of sunlight that are amplified by the passing of clouds at dusk.

For the third instalment of “Cowboys And The Sounds Of,” an Editorial mix series from longtime contributor Daniel Rincon, we’re treated to the sounds of sad country music and trains passing by. The combination is unexpectedly heart-wrenching, as if the sound of trains bring us back to an era of long goodbyes and far distances. Three years in the making, Rincon’s two hour collection of cosmic country and folk is a testament to the enduring heartbreak and beauty of the genre.

Marilyn Monroe’s body, a reclining nude in a classical painting, a model from an online shopping site—Sara Cwynar is known for reassembling objects of desire. Symbols of beauty are presented here, in the artist’s solo show, Marilyn, just as they are in advertising, stressing an important through-line in the two worlds and in the affects they produce. Cwynar’s project is in surveying the object-life of visual matter, pulling focus on the bizarre ephemera of commercial goods, and in doing so offering a feeling of desire that leads not to a check-out, but only back to itself.

Sacred Choral music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods were written as devotional hymns for those seeking solace and inspiration in a violent, troubled world. Saint Hildegard von Bingen who was an abbess, mystic and composer, spent most of her 80 years shut away in isolation, in an obscure hilltop monastery in the Rhineland. The songs she composed came to her in mystic visions, which she wrote for her nuns to sing at their devotions. On today’s new moon, let’s take inspiration from the saints and set intentions to begin new projects today.
