Triangulated timber blankets from German designer Elisa Strozyk. I’m not sure how comfortable these would be but they look pretty cool. They are made by bonding thin lazer cut timber pieces to fabric, bending in different ways depending on the pattern. Elisa has used this triangulation principle on her designs for carpets, wallpaper, furniture and a collaboration with fashion designer Maria Bonita.

Politically charged work from Indonesian Artist Eko Nugroho. I saw one of Eko’s multimedia installations in Paris at the MAM a few months ago. The amount of work on show was pretty impressive, his prolific output really shows through in his exhibition with a synergy between his paintings, drawings, sculptures and video art.
“To be honest, I do not deliberately choose to be political or to adopt political messages in my work,” Nugroho explains. “My everyday life here in Indonesia is dominated by issues such as poverty, social injustice, religious fanatics, corruption, and it is difficult to turn away from it.” theme magazine
Eko’s solo show at ARNDT Berlin will be running until 2nd June and at the ‘Migration’ Group exhibion at the Museum Art Contemporary Sydney until 10th July.

Site specific line drawings from Irish Artist Oisin Byrne. Oisin made these drawings for the interior of Irish Architects; De Blacam and Meagher’s residence on the Grand Canal in Portobello, Dublin last year. The piece depicts a maximalist and lush gothic interior in minimalist black ink line drawing.
“Not mathematical or cartesian, the drawing is ostensibly human: hand-made and wobbly, perspectives faltering, and patterns fluctuating. The columnades and vaulting are headed – literally – with faces and profiles, inhabiting and animating the architecture.”
Keep informed on Oisin Byrne’s work on his blog here.

New work from Irish Artist Conor Harrington. These 3 paintings were done in conjunction with the 13th Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
“In a way, I’ve always thought Belfast was the last place I could paint. They have such a strong tradition of sectarian murals depicting political and historical scenes from both an Irish Nationalist and British Loyalist agenda and although my work has vastly different intentions, my imagery could be perceived as being closer to 1 side of that political divide.”
