Anthony Lister, the celebrated Australian painter and installation artist known for his provocative blend of high and lowbrow culture, is set to unveil his latest body of work in a highly anticipated exhibition in Sydney. Lister’s artistry transcends conventional boundaries, drawing inspiration from street art, expressionism, and contemporary youth culture. His work has garnered international acclaim, with solo exhibitions across Australia, the United States, Europe, and the UK.
“In an age of disposable playlists and algorithm-driven pop, Camilla Luna makes music that lingers. Blending Nordic electronica, avant-house and haunting vocal landscapes, she is quietly redefining what emotional club music can sound like—proving that vulnerability is the boldest move on the dancefloor.
Forget nostalgia. Mariann Rosa returns with a riot of distorted pop, punk attitude and fearless reinvention—a new album that proves the wildest artists never really fit the algorithm.
Forget dopamine pop. Bastian Emil’s solo debut is all velvet darkness and existential glamour—a soundtrack for those who find beauty in the crash rather than the finish line.
ANTHONY LISTER THE LOWBROW-O
THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT A GRAFFITI WRITER, RISK, NEW IMAGE ART GALLERY OWNER MARSEE GOLDBERG, DIRECTOR MARK SIMPSON, AND PERFORMANCE ARTIST ARIEL BRICKMAN TALKING ABOUT LISTER’S INCREDIBLE STYLE AND DEDICATION TO HIS TRUE LOVE AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.
CURATORIAL STATEMENT
Photography today is abundant, immediate, and largely forgettable. This exhibition begins from that condition, not in resistance to it, but in recognition of it: documentary image-making no longer delivers certainty — only negotiated versions of it.
NO, IT IS NOT; NOT, ALWAYS reframes contemporary photography as a space between witness and performance, sincerity and construction. Drawing on the emotional proximity of Nan Goldin, the formal control of Richard Avedon, the rigor of Robert Mapplethorpe, and the performative downtown sensibility associated with Maripol, the exhibition treats the photograph as an unstable encounter rather than a fixed record.
Here, the camera is not neutral. It participates, stages, distorts, and occasionally reveals in spite of itself. Identity appears as something performed under observation, never fully resolved.
Against a culture addicted to clarity, this work insists on ambiguity as a method. Documentary photography, in this reading, is not a failed truth — but a contemporary one.
Stefan has spent a lifetime looking at the world through the frame of a camera—but insists photography was never really about images. It was always about questions. In this wide-ranging conversation, the veteran photojournalist reflects on philosophy, technology and the unsettling speed at which truth itself is being rewritten. From the ethics of artificial intelligence to the fragility of perception in an image-saturated age, he argues that the real crisis is not information overload, but the erosion of critical thinking. Neither utopian nor dystopian, his view of the future is disarmingly simple: technology is neutral—people are not.
Cover Teaser
Frédéric Chaubin doesn’t photograph buildings—he photographs the dreams they were built to contain. Between forgotten monuments, cinematic landscapes and the poetry of concrete, the French image-maker reveals why architecture remains one of fashion’s most enduring sources of fantasy.

Emerging from the early 1990s Scandinavian rave circuit, Trulz & Robin reflect on techno as more than music — a shared system of belonging built in clubs, warehouses, and fleeting moments of unity that still echo through their Cymasonic releases.
” FOR TRE ÅR SIDEN GJORDE JEG ET TYPISK POPUP DRAGQUEEN-SHOW PÅ FINCKEN I BERGEN. ETTER FORESTILLINGEN TOK JEG AV MEG KOSTYMET, BYTTET DET UT MED MITT AFTER SHOW-ANTREKK, OG SAMMEN MED NOEN “TRANSER” GIKK JEG OVER VEIEN TIL UTESTEDET GARAGE. INGEN AV OSS KOM INN, MED BESKJED OM AT ”VI SLIPPER IKKJE INN FOLK I KOSTYMER”. NÅ ER JEG UTESTENGT PÅ LIVSTID, MED SAMME BEGRUNNELSE. “
Cacho Falcon turns intimacy into material and material into spectacle, moving from “therapeutic denim” in early-2000s Brooklyn to body painting practices that quite literally inscribe people’s private histories onto skin. Fashion noticed, fame followed, and New York did what it always does—absorbed him, then reflected him back as both artist and myth. His work sits in that uneasy space between therapy and performance, confession and commerce, where strangers become collaborators and vulnerability is temporarily wearable. The result is less a career than a continuous social experiment in exposure, erasure, and reinvention—delivered with just enough glamour to keep it from feeling like confession.
Hilde Marstrander has spent decades moving between fashion, media and cultural commentary—shaping taste as much as reporting on it. From London runways to Nordic editorial power desks, she has helped define how Scandinavia sees itself through style, debate and image. Now, her perspective turns back on a rapidly shifting fashion landscape where authority is fragmented, and visibility is everything.

I DEFINITELY BELIEVE ALL FINE TYPES OF ART TO BE POLITICAL IN A SENSE. I NEVER CONSIDERED MY DESIGN AND COLLECTIONS AS” FASHION” OR” TREND” BUT AS STATEMENTS. EVERY GARMENT I’VE DESIGNED, AND EVERY SHOW I PRESENTED, HAS A BACKGROUND STORY. I’m COMPLETELY UNINTERESTED IN CLOTHES AS FASHION ITEMS, AND I NEVER TRIED OR WANTED TO BE” TRENDY.” I LOVE THE STORIES THAT PEOPLE TELL, WITH THEIR LOOKS AND APPEARANCES. I ALWAYS TRIED TO TELL STORIES ON THE CATWALK WITH MY MODELS AND DESIGN.
