A Decade
To commemorate award-winning design studio White Jacket’s 10th anniversary, nine young artists were invited to create pieces in their signature style, based on the concept of celebration and encompassing local elements and history. Evergreen by Henry Lee, for example, depicts a blooming bonsai, which, like a company or brand, requires patience, perseverance and vision to nurture and grow. The piece represents White Jacket’s growth over the last 12 years.

Role Play
Comprising a selection of photographic, video and performing works by 11 international image-based artists, this exhibition by Fondazione Prada at the Osservatorio in Milan, Italy, explores the notions of the search, projection and invention of possible alternative identities, hovering between authentic, idealised and universal selves. The artists play with gender tropes, stereotypes, sense of place, and future perspectives, to interrogate individuality as we know it and as it might be.
