3 minute video. In collaboration with Magnum Photos and The New Yorker, we present "Leica & Magnum: New York, Ten Years Later by Christopher Anderson" a look at New York City ten years after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The photos featured in this video were taken by Magnum Photographer Christopher Anderson. Christopher shares his thoughts on the project: "When The New Yorker magazine commissioned me to create a portfolio of images that could speak to how New York has changed in these ten years, I kept returning to the idea of windows. Windows represent the future. They represent passage and change. They shed light. Through windows we see opportunity and possibility. They sometimes reflect our own selves, and they sometimes act as barriers. In a more concrete way, they are how we New Yorkers physically experience our city. And of course, the idea of windows is directly linked to the two buildings that came down on September 11, 2001. These pictures are connected by the idea of windows. They are my attempt to pay tribute to the resilience of this city."

2 1/2 minute video of artist, designer, sculptor Tord Boontje London designer Tord Boontje explains how Midsummer light, the decorative paper lampshade he designed in 2004 for Artecnica, challenged the dominance of Minimalist design. Boontje's Midsummer light, which he designed for Los Angeles design company Artecnica in 2004, consists of two sheets of Tyvek - a tear-proof synthetic paper material - stamped with a delicate floral pattern. The two sheets are draped around a simple plastic cone to create a perforated lampshade that casts a soft, dappled light. "Midsummer Light is directly inspired by lying under a tree and seeing the sunlight going through the leaves," Boontje says in the movie, which Dezeen filmed at his studio in London. Boontje is one of a number of designers who has led a move away from Minimal design to return to more decorative themes over the last 20 years. He reveals that his interest in decoration started when his daughter was born in 2000. "I had a very strong desire to make my own home like a nest, like a very loving environment," he explains. "I wanted to make the home softer, warmer and more humane."

Article about artist sculptor Harrie Fasher. Harrie Fasher had a very special reason for making eight steel horses for Sculpture by the Sea. His name was Major Alfred Macpherson. Macpherson was a highly decorated member of the 8th Australian Light Horse who fought alongside his mates in the legendary Battle of Beersheba 100 years ago. Macpherson was also Fasher's great-great-uncle, and her massive sculpture The Last Charge commemorates the bravery and determination of everyone in that victorious battle.
