A dark and mysterious journey with Polish artist Miroslaw Balka and Champagne Valentine.

Champagne Valentine worked closely with Miroslaw Balka to create a mysterious experience for his current exhibition at the Tate Modern, How It Is, the tenth commission in The Unilever Series for the Turbine Hall. The theme comes from the artwork itself. It feels like a 3D shoot 'em up game as you venture round dark corners for Miroslaw to reveal his inspirations and his own background.

Champagne Valentine combined Flash and Papervision technologies to create the experience. Tate will also soon be releasing a partner iPhone app, which mimics the How It Is website but will also offer location-based gameplay. Using the iPhone's GPS system, the app will add a whole new level to the digital experience when users are in the vicinity of the Tate Modern.

Odyssey Two, runs throughout Art Forum Berlin and highlights 20 years of the urban art pioneer FUTURA’s work.

The show focuses on the dual themes of memory and the past, and the influence these have on an individual’s imagined world. Futura’s obsessions with space and hyper industrial landscapes grew from his adolescence: a time when man first landed on the moon, and when the New York skyline soared with a mass of fresh skyscrapers. But the world in his pieces is entirely unique – a place that has developed in his mind over time, where remnants of earlier memories co-exist with imagined, abstract landscapes.

Futura’s latest pieces show an artist comfortable in the world he has created, making accomplished works that use occasional, frenetic bursts of outline to perfectly convey mood, atmosphere and situation, aswell as his trademark and iconic touches.

Collectors will be able to buy an accessible selection of key pieces from Futura’s unique, imagined world: study pieces provide entry level works; there will be a trademark Pointman series and a limited edition print run. There will also be a small number of recent abstract canvases.

Styles in design are described and classified in many ways. Sometimes they are given a moniker, like “Web 2.0,” other times they are referred to by their appearance: grungy, minimalist, retro, big type. The people (and brands) to which modern design styles are attributed are as numerous as the styles themselves. Many designers look to a brand such as Apple as an example of great modern design because a designer’s sensibility is infused into everything it does.

Even though many current styles and trends can be connected to recent design pieces, they do not originate there. So much modern design originated before computers and the Web were even a glimmer in the eye of their creators.

THE WALL PROJECT that invites Mumbaikers to express themselves in colour on the city’s walls. The Project has been undertaken at several other locations before. This Independence day (15th and 16th of August, actually), the project asks people to paint the wall running along Tulsi Pipe Road from Mahim to Dadar.

CANVAS
- look for an arrow indicating the start point on the Walls of Tulsi Pipe Road, (closer to Mahim(West) Railway station) And we could begin painting in that direction.
