Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei together at the NGV

The National Gallery of Victoria is presenting a major international exhibition featuring Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei, two of the most significant artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.


The Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei exhibition has been developed in joint collaboration between the National Gallery of Victoria, The Andy Warhol Museum and Ai Weiwei himself. The exhibit, which runs until late April, explores the influence of these two iconic modern artists on contemporary art and life.

The exhibition focuses on the parallels, intersections and points of difference between Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei. Surveying the breadth of both artists’ careers, the exhibition at is presenting over 300 works, including a selection of major new commissions, immersive installations and a wide representation of paintings, sculpture, film, photography, publishing and social media.

Presenting the work of both artists side by side, the exhibition explores modern life and cultural politics through the lenses of two unique figures; one representing the twentieth century’s modernity and the American century; the other contemporary life and what has been heralded as the ‘Chinese century’ to come.

Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei premieres a collection of major new commissions from Weiwei, including an installation from his Forever Bicycles series, composed from almost 1500 bicycles and a major five-metre-tall work from Ai’s Chandelier series of crystal and light.

Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei runs from December 11, 2015 to April 24, 2016.
