The genius of Anish Kapoor – In praise of shrines – We need a new word for floristry.

The genius of Anish Kapoor

From iconic void works and giant, inflated spheres to steel mirrored sculptures and visceral installations, this new exhibition by one of the world's best known contemporary artists plays havoc with your perceptions.

In praise of shrines

A new exhibition at Somerset House highlights our collective need for something to believe in, however secular the age. At Holy Pop! idols and deities may have been replaced by Britney and Dolly, but the underlying worship remains the same.

We need a new word for floristry

The term floristry feels like an echo from the past; cellophane wrapped roses with no scent, chrysanthemum wreaths for funerals, gypsophila for weddings. A word far away from cutting edge design. Yet floristry is, without a doubt, having a moment.
