Abandoned buildings are like time capsules, especially if unseen and untouched for over 50 years. In Italy, Luca Blast Forlani’s Intruders: Urban Explorers video is a look into his illegal explorations of various abandoned spaces: from industrial-age factories, theatres, psych wards, and WWII bombed sites. Everything is left as it was then, even the dusty calendar marking the date hanging thinly on the crumbly walls. Some spaces are more recent (say 10 to 30 years ago) but with the lack of human interruption, and plants running wild, it feels like a post-apocalyptic premonition.

Sydney-based artist Andy Uprock’s original process, known as ‘Cuprocking’, entails sticking thousands of plastic cups into wire fencing, creating large, temporary works of street art. The idea was born whilst travelling through South-East Asia and learning traditional Thai art and practices under the guidance of Puk Tattoo. Cuprocking is now taking over fences of the world as Andy, photographer Juan Moss and renowned artist Brett Chan set off to transform streets and public areas into floating walk-by galleries. The 40 day global tour kicks off on June 30 in Barcelona and then continues to Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. Keen an eye on Andy’s website for updates.

When you move to a new city or travel a lot, you tend to develop an aversion to maps. They’re usually too clumsy to carry around all the time, become tattered with frequent use, and the unfolding-refolding alone can drive you crazy. Then there’s Palomar’s Crumpled City Maps. Read more

My friend Lenka Kripac, formerly of Aussie group Decoder Ring, now flying solo, has just released her debut single — The Show — and it’s as catchy a slice of pop hedonism as you’re ever going to hear. Be warned: one listen and you may never shake the melody.
