Every so often, an art project warms our icicle-laden cockles, and we consent to letting out an ‘Ahh!’ of delight. We have to say, we do appreciate the lo-fi quality and, well, cockle-warming nature of author Jemma Foster‘s latest venture, which sees her short stories being illustrated by a clutch of Argentinian artists via the...

We’ll level with you – we’re completely crap at crafts. An art degree is one thing, but we’ve never quite been able to figure out how to wield a pair of knitting needles, or make a passable Christmas card using nothing but pasta, glitter and the milk of human kindness. It’s just not in our... Read more
In this RSAnimate short, renowned philosopher Slavoj Zizek tells us about the real purpose of charity donations and Fairtrade assurances being included in so many of our products. Hint – it’s to make you feel better about yourself without actually doing anything differently. A good thing, or a bad thing? We’ll let you draw your... Read more
“We’re back to the Middle Ages in terms of communications,” says Richard Seymour, co-founder and director of London-based Seymourpowell, one of the world’s top design and innovation firms.” If the blacksmith is lousy in the village, we all know it. But the difference is now that the village is the whole world. And we are... Read more

Artist and designer Kristen Wicklund re-purposes them in a smarter way, weaving the non-biodegradable ne’er-do-wells she finds blowing around the streets of New York into something approaching...

Since its opening in 1998, an estimated 2,000 artists have displayed their work there, including one... Read more
After the light relief of women dancing around in their underpants earlier, we thought we’d better mention something a little more serious, lest the readers of AW write us off as a gaggle of internet pervs. ‘Coallition of the Willing’ is an animated film about the online war against global warming in a ‘post Copenhagen’ world,...

Speaking of whaling, the WDCS have produced this short film to raise awareness of the upcoming changes in legislation, in collaboration with those blokes out of The Horrors, Christopher Eccleston out of Doctor Who, and Alice Delall, out of famous model Andrea Dellal. Check out the (rather gory) video below and, if you’re so inclined,... Read more

Here at Art Wednesday, we’ve made no secret of our interest in provoking environmental debate, so we were only too happy to pass on information about this, a petition to enforce the laws surrounding the illegal hunting of whales on an international scale; while technically, the hunting of what is considered to be a protected...
