design artist housing hell real estate

The article examines the severe affordable housing crisis facing artists in major art capitals like New York, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Hong Kong. It draws parallels between the satirical portrayals of housing struggles in Tama Janowitz's *Slaves of New York* (1986) and Jane DeLynn's *Real Estate* (1988) and the contemporary reality, where median rents have tripled since the 1970s while artists' median earnings remain critically low. The author maps artists' precarious housing situations onto Dante's nine circles of Hell, illustrating the creative but often desperate workarounds artists employ, such as subletting, living in storage units, or having no permanent address.

And We Shall Go Through Their Hills Without Much Delay

This article documents three journeys into and out of Yunnan, China, spanning from 1874 to 2023. It begins with British interpreter Augustus Raymond Margary's failed colonial expedition to establish a trade route, which ended in his violent death and contributed to unequal treaties opening Southwest China. It then follows a Naxi student named Xueshan in 1937, whose railway journey introduced modern timekeeping to the region, and finally describes the construction of the Burma Road, a critical WWII supply route. The narrative concludes with the artist Cheng Xinhao retracing these routes on foot from Kunming toward Burma over a year and a half, reflecting on history, bodily experience, and the layers of infrastructure that have reshaped the landscape.

Exhibition | Kimiyo Mishima, 'FRAGILE' at Nonaka-Hill, Los Angeles, United States

This article profiles Japanese artist Kimiyo Mishima, whose ceramic sculptures meticulously replicate discarded newspapers, cans, and other trash. Mishima, who died recently, began her career with painting and collage before pioneering a technique in 1971 of silk-screening and painting thin clay sheets rolled with an udon noodle roller to create fragile, lifelike sculptures of garbage. Her work was shaped by her experience growing up in postwar Osaka and her revulsion at consumer culture's disposable nature, leading her to collect trash from the streets of New York and Paris during artist grants.
