Artist interview, Walid Raad: a mediator between worlds - The Art Newspaper

"...when these objects travel overseas, they will change...In the final reckoning, Raad is committed to expressing his political, historical and theoretical concerns in a medium that is emphatically visual. “I’m working with line, colour, shape and form,” he says. “Whether it’s a war or this massive infrastructure, you confront an event like this emotionally, aesthetically, historically, conceptually, and you see an opening for a new form, a gesture that must do justice to the complexity of this experience. Physical universes are being built all the time. How do you build one that doesn’t collapse in a few seconds? That’s a challenge."

Expat House Hunters

Hello, expats, just in case anyone is interested and has just bought a home overseas, contact Michelle James to tell your story on House Hunters International.

House Hunters International examples:

- LA to Vienna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOiump3__Mo
- Boston to Berlin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pug3NnEGtwc

Hello everyone,

I thought I would reach out to let you know about the exciting new spin-off show that we have in production here at HHI towers. The new show is called House Hunters International: Renovation and we are looking for expats who have recently bought fabulous properties and are about to embark on some imminent renovations. Ideally they should be outgoing and fun, aged under 45 and have bought a property within the last few years.

We are looking to film this Summer and for the renovation projects to take up to four months so perhaps a new kitchen, a small extension etc. We have some budget that would go towards finishing the project which makes it a little more interesting!

Please do get in touch if you have any contacts for people who may be interested in the show. It would also be lovely to hear your news!

Best wishes,

Michelle

Mat Collishaw's Paintings

‘You can’t just paint – you have to address the whole history of painting and then make some sort of paradigm shift,’ he says. ‘I’ve been trying to find a way to do this, and this is my solution.’
