Brandon Morris’ Ghostly Fiberglass Gowns Float Through a Paris Gallery
During a month in which hauntings and ghastly cosutmes are a ubiquitous sight, Brandon Morris presents a new body of work that taps into a shared sense of unease. The New York-based artist makes his Paris debut with Tissu Expansé, a collection of five fiberglass and resin gowns that appear as though they’ve come to life.
Constructed in pale blue, the spectral works are part of Morris’ Ghost Dresses, a series that stitches together fashion and sculpture through garments that materialize without a body. Bodices are full, while skirts angle as if they’re moving with an invisible owner. One piece even...

Inexpensive DIY Bamboo Disaster Relief Housing That Withstands Earthquakes
Myanmar's disastrous civil war has displaced well over 3 million people. And even before the 2021 coup, there was a housing crisis, with demand far outstripping supply; the military conflict has only intensified that problem.
Yangon-based architecture firm Blue Temple is part of the solution. They launched an initiative called Housing NOW, whereby they designed simple—and surprisingly durable—houses that could be built out of locally-abundant bamboo.
The build concept is pretty simple: Bamboo's everywhere, but it's pretty thin and bendy. Bundle a bunch of shoots together, though, and now you have a bunch of structural members that...
Spread of Dubai-style urbanism "quite terrifying" says Quinn Slobodian
Cities and architecture across the world are increasingly being influenced by the fundamentally anti-democratic principles of places like Dubai, argues academic Quinn Slobodian in this interview.
Slobodian is a Canadian historian based at Boston University. His 2023 book Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy charts the rise of special economic zones – areas with deregulated trade laws designed to attract investment.
These zones have proliferated since the 1980s, with more than 5,400 across the world today. Examples include Shenzhen, Singapore, Hong Kong and Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai.
"Smoothing out" of architecture
Often, they are associated with...
A Measuring Cup that Squeegees Itself Clean
This UpCup is an interesting kitchen gadget design by Australian kitchen goods brand Dreamfarm. Aimed at the anal retentive cooking set—those who want to get every last drop—it's a measuring cup that can scrape itself clean, completely evacuating its contents. Think honey, peanut butter, batter, et cetera.
The plunging squeegee mechanism can then be popped out, and the entire thing can be thrown in the dishwasher.
It works with dry goods too, of course.
As you can see by the gradations on the handle, in the image above,...

A Japanese Exhibition Places Contemporary Woodcarving Within the Continuum of Art History
Japan is an island nation rich in timber, from cypress (Hinoki) to cedar (Sugi) to larch (Karamatsu). Its renowned woodworking heritage dates back centuries, taking the form of immaculately carved wooden beams in houses, ornate storage boxes, and revered religious statuary. For some artists working today, this timeless tradition translates perfectly into contemporary expressions.
Hand-hewn from timber, expressive faces and dynamic motifs emerge in the sculptures of Kigaku – Re(a)lize – at FUMA Contemporary Tokyo. Colossal readers may be familiar with the work of Ikuo Inada and Yoshitoshi Kanemaki, and the show also includes recent pieces by Kosuke Ikeshima, Ayako Kita,...
