I hope you enjoy this week's curation. have a great weekend, and go and make awesome work. pierre Cai Guo-Qiang's explosive artCai Guo-Qiang creates his massive artwork using gunpowder, from igniting it on cavasses to capture the burn, to massive fireworks displays, he is one of the hottest (literally) artists on the contemporary scene. Netflix released a documentary on his most monumental installation, where he design a 500m ladder to connect the earth to the universe (Preview below). Ironically gunpowder was discovered by Chinese alchemists looking to immortality. It is from this tension that the artist creates. 2. MadeawMadeaw, one of the Next Generation leaders in this month's TIME, is a 17 year old fashion designer that has caught the eye of the fashion world. He comes from an impoverished district in Thailand, Isaan. Where he grew up flipping through the old fashion magazines at the barbershop. Madeaw creates from everyday found objects, chicken wire, grass, cabbage leaves, whatever he can find.“I want people to see that ugly things that don’t seem to go together can become something beautiful,” he says 3.
