Aesop Brera

The first Italian signature store, Aesop Brera, is a contemporary insertion into the fabric of Milan’s history. Occupying a corner tenancy, the 60-square metre space is located in a nineteenth-century building on the Piazza del Carmine, next to the fifteenth-century Chiesa Santa Maria del Carmine. The neighbourhood, traditionally home to artists and ateliers, is now one of the main centres of Milan’s annual furniture fair, Salon del Mobile. A collaboration with local studio Vincenzo de Cotiis Architects, the contemplative design gives a subtle nod to its previous incarnation as a salumeria.

LOCKED OFF

Rave culture is one of Britain's great cultural exports, but after its first wave in the late 1980s and early 1990s it was forced into the underground by stringent new laws and the rise of licensed super clubs. 

Fast forward 25 years into the midst of a nationwide purge on the UK's nightlife, where nearly half of all British clubs have shut down in the last decade, and a new kind of scene has emerged: a 21st century version of rave, where young people break into disused spaces with the help of bolt-cutters and complicated squatting laws, to suck on balloons and go hard into the early morning. 

But with the police using increasingly extreme tactics to clamp down on these parties, and more than one fatality causing a nationwide media panic, can the scene survive?

Chiharu Shiota: The Key in the Hand

Chiharu Shiota born in Osaka, Japan and lives and works in Berlin, Germany for the past two decades. The Key in the Hand is an elaborate weft of red wood and keys that dangle above two old-aged rustic boats for Japan Pavilion at the 56th International Art Exhibition Venice Art Biennale. Chiharu Shiota explains “In this installation I would like to use keys provided by the general public that are imbued with various recollections and memories that have accumulated over a long period of daily use. as I create the work in the space, the memories of everyone who provides me with their keys will overlap with my own memories for the first time. these overlapping memories will in turn combine with those of the people from all over the world who come to see the biennale, giving them a chance to communicate in a new way and better understand each other’s feelings.”
