TweetLee, the directorial feature from award-winning Cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub.
Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.

TweetPainted in 2024 in Rangsdorf, Germany, Weaver’s latest body of sixteen large-scale canvases takes as its focal point one of the most enduring motifs of art history: the flower. Rendered in acrylic on canvas, a medium shift for the artist, the ‘Flower Paintings’ stand as both a counterpoint and continuation of Weaver’s oil paintings and watercolours of the human subject. Indeed, while impressive in size, the paintings are imbued with a profound intimacy. Upright, drooping, or entwined in a tangle of stems, the brightly coloured flowers appear highly charged, as if resonating with a full spectrum of emotion.

The master of musical U-turns Mica Levi is back, and this time on Hyperdub with a single that, fittingly, no one could see coming. ‘slob air’ evades structure with hefty, jumping drums like skipping stones that loop to hypnotic effect, and glittering chords with a timbre in liminal space between strings, brass, winds, and synth, instilling a hazy, gooey, warm feeling in the heart. Above the occasional rumbling bass hum are shivering vocals calling from beyond reach. You could call it hypnagogic pop, post rock, experimental ambient, dream pop, but we think just magnificent will do.
Tweet“To recognize is to bring back to mind. To partially recognize is to recall a detail of an absent object or its immediate surroundings; it’s the inaccessibility of the mark, and the overwhelming excess of an “inside,” “around,” “nearby.” It is a key in a lock that won’t turn. If these paintings are allegorical montages of missed marks, how come they present with the intactness of a mirror, the self-evidence of a photograph? And why do they seem to reflect, in a flash, glimpses of the recent past?
One answer might be found in the artist’s “unproductive” approach to their own work: a preoccupation with the power of association and its inherent destruction as desire moves from one object to another; with a working through rather than the conscious encoding of ideas. Here—where the can is burst open, and it’s less about stuff going in or rather on—moments of recognition rarely show up in their representational function. Instead, what gently emerges are the abstract relationships between the parts that remain absent—a kind of
familiar unseen.”
