No Comments on The Weeknd : Kiss And Tell (2013 Cover Story)

The Weeknd Covers Complex’s August/September 2013 Issue, first emerged in 2011 and became an instant sensation. His mixtape, House of Balloons, was released as a free download on March 21, 2011 and immediately hailed as a modern classic. In fact, Complex rated it as the best album of that year. By the end of 2011, the singer born Abel Tesfaye had released two more free mixtapes, Thursday and Echoes of Slience. He also gave Drake a big assist on his Grammy-winning sophomore album, Take Care. Yet despite his rising stardom, The Weeknd remained one of the most enigmatic stars of the Internet era. It’s hard to find a decent picture of him, much less learn anything about his creative process or his back story: He simply never did interviews.

That is until now, Read the full cover story here

No Comments on Climbing walls: artist creates an illusionary Victorian house in east London

At first glance it looks like the people hanging out of windows and clambering up the façade of this Victorian terrace house have developed superpowers, but all is not as it seems. This unusual scene is really an illusion created by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich using a giant mirror and a model of the front of a house laid out horizontally on the ground.

Curator Alona Pardo says the art installation in Dalston, east London, is a “stimulating piece” that challenges perception, including “ways of seeing, how we see and what we see”.

Erlich is known for his three-dimensional visual illusions. His previous projects include a swimming pool, a lift shaft and a revolving flat, that all invited the viewer to think differently about how they interacted with space.

Leandro Erlich’s Dalston House is open to visitors from 26 June to 4 August 2013.
