Joe Corre: Burn After Reading
★★★★★★★★★☆ (9/10)
The son of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood has no interest in preserving punk—he wants to rescue it from nostalgia. In a blisteringly sharp interview, Joe Corre defends burning £5 million worth of punk memorabilia, dismantles Britain’s cultural establishment, skewers John Lydon with characteristic venom, and argues that rebellion cannot survive once it becomes a museum exhibit. Intelligent, provocative and gloriously uncompromising, this is less an interview than a declaration of war against commodified dissent.

An exhibition of photographs that refuse resolution. Inspired by Wallace’s infinite key ring, each image is a deliberate attempt rather than a perfected answer—testing failure, light, and meaning in real time. Nothing here unlocks easily, and that’s precisely the point: photography as restless inquiry, where getting it “wrong” is the only way of getting anywhere at all.
MAI: The New Face of Scandinavian Cool ★★★★★★★★★☆ (9/10)
Forget the clichéd Scandi aesthetic of beige cashmere and designer bicycles. DJ Mai Schaarup represents the Denmark tourists rarely see—disciplined, emotionally restrained, fiercely creative and quietly rebellious. From Copenhagen’s underground clubs to solitary studio sessions, she proves that true Nordic cool isn’t performed. It’s simply lived. A sharp portrait of the modern Scandinavian heroine, where fashion, music and authenticity meet without ever asking for attention.
A razor-sharp portrait of Clayton Patterson and the Lower East Side as a battleground of culture, law, and survival — where art was not a career but evidence of a city in freefall and reinvention. From police surveillance and court battles to the rise of gentrification and curated “authenticity,” Patterson’s archive exposes how urban life is documented, controlled, and ultimately rewritten. A story about New York then — and every major city now — asking a brutal question: who owns reality when the streets are no longer affordable to live in, only to consume?
Arthur Sopin & Andreas Rod’s No, It Is Not; Not Always (DT500mag, London) is a sharp post-conceptual rupture disguised as an exhibition — where portraiture, performance, and moving image collapse into controlled instability. Born from a 150+ artist open call, it reframes eccentricity as structure, not exception, and turns identity into a flickering system rather than a fixed subject. Positioned between Venice Biennale discourse and post-internet fatigue, it doesn’t explain the contemporary condition — it destabilises it, elegantly and without apology.
Shoot Gallery’s new space in Oslo’s Barcode district reframes fine art photography as infrastructure rather than display—where curatorial authorship, branding logic, and market intelligence converge into a single, controlled visual system. At the centre, Helene Gulaker Hansen articulates a distinctly European model of the gallery: less white cube, more editorial machine for producing photographic value, taste, and international legibility.
” My best talent is turning everything into a light game. I approach everything I do with a sense of playfulness. I play games, even in projects that demand a lot of energy and effort. I decided to try to sustain our playful quality when we were kids – to avoid limiting myself and use my imagination freely. We must never forget how to play: So many great things can come out!”
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.
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.
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.
8. MARCH NIPPLE DILEMMA: HILDE MARSTRANDER. OSLO
http:// HILDE: – 9. MARS BLE ET ULLENT SNAPSHOT FRA ET KUNSTFOTOSHOOT MITSU, ARTHUR, ANDREAS OG JEG […]
A modest Norwegian upbringing, a Bowie-sized ambition, and a refusal to separate music from fashion, image from sound, or idea from execution. Under the name Suprastate, Thomas builds a self-contained creative system where noise, tailoring, and pop instinct collide into one continuous aesthetic engine. At a moment when culture is drowning in unfinished ideas, he insists on the opposite: everything must be made, fully, or not at all.
“RIV AV DEG ARMANI-DRESSEN OG DRA DEG UT PÅ GATA! ”
” JEG OPPLEVDE Å REISE GJENNOM TID OG ROM OG HADDE EN INTENS OPPLEVELSE AV AT DENNE KROPPEN, DETTE MENNESKET SOM HET LILLI OG HADDE SIN HISTORIE SOM HADDE FORMET HENNE SOM PERSON, BARE VAR EN BITTE LITEN DEL AV HVEM HUN EGENTLIG VAR..”
