British designer, architect and artist Cecil Balmond‘s critically acclaimed sculpture H_Edge has it made its UK debut in London’s Spitalfields in a fascinating bespoke configuration in the reflecting pool opposite the Allen & Overy building (open until October 2014).
Originally debuting at the Artist Space in New York in 2006, this installation has brought wonderment and joy globally to such places as the Graham Foundation of Fine Art in Chicago, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Tokyo Opera City Gallery in Tokyo as well as in and Milan and recently at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence, see the video below.
As well as H_Edge, Cecil Balmond has a number of forthcoming public art projects including commissions for the Chicago Transit Authority and MESA Art Center, Arizona and one of his recent sculptures, a light sculpture Snow Words (for the State of Alaska Arts Council) was named one of the best public artworks of 2013 by the Americans for the Arts, Public Art Network Year in Review.

Happy Saturday Music Updates
Happy Saturday Music Updates
From Red Bull Sound Select, Chicago’s Lucki Eck$ “Weightin’ On“ featuring Detroit rapper Danny Brown fuses together Lucki Eck$’s nonchalant and laid back style with Brown’s unpretentious hip hop skills with a ghettotech tinge. The collaboration was born out of the two having both performed at Red Bull Sound Select’s: 4 Days in Austin this past March, at which Lucki Eck$ opened for Danny Brown as part of Red Bull Sound Select’s effort to pair emerging artists with headlining acts. The track will be released exclusively through Red Bull Sound Select. Check out the track below on my playlist !

The London Design Festival (Sept 13th-Sept 16th) kicks off London’s fall creative season, alongside London Fashion Week, the Frieze Art Fair and the London Film Festival.
Established in 2003, London Design Festival’s role is to celebrate and promote London as the world’s design capital and gateway to the International design community and with last year’s Festival attracting an audience of over 350,000 people, from over 60 countries, it is well on it’s way to achieving that goal!
With over 300 events and exhibitions scheduled at the central hub at the V&A, and at the Design Districts (including the Brompton Design District, the Shoreditch Design Triangle, Fitzrovia Now, the Chelsea Design Quarter, and the Clerkenwell Design Quarter), this is the standout design show of the year !
