“Colombian artist Otoniel Borda Garzon manipulates outdated volumes of maps, reference texts, and newspapers to form abstract sculptures. The multi-part artworks juxtapose the paper pages, carved into topographical shapes that allude to cliffs and mountains, with geometric wooden trusses and smooth, water-like glass channels.“ via @colossal

In the Austrian countryside a decidedly modern farmhouse is enhanced by traditional elements. Villa B is a two-storey home that feels perfectly settled against the idyllic fields and mountains of its locale. Villa B was designed by Bergmeisterwolf, an architectural office based in Italy.

Surrounded by sprawling farms and patches of woods, the form of Villa B draws from traditional farmhouse architecture. Dotted across the countryside, farmhouses typically side with the form follows function mentality; in short, they are practical dwellings suited for housing those who work on the land. Simple design features such as sloped roofs protect the homes from falling rain and snow. Wood cladding most often covers the exterior walls: a no-nonsense material that is readily available in rural settings. The farmhouse we know today may have humble beginnings, but its characteristic form continues to be relevant for regional architecture. Read more on @minimalissimomag

“My work has always been a time machine looking backwards across decades and centuries to arrive at some understanding of my “place” in the contemporary moment.”

Fons Americanus is a 13-metre tall working fountain inspired by the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, London. Created by artist Kara Walker for the 2019 Hyundai Commission, it is one of the most ambitious installations in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall to date.

Rather than a celebration of the British Empire, Walker’s fountain explores the interconnected histories of Africa, America and Europe. She uses water as a key theme, referring to the transatlantic slave trade and the ambitions, fates and tragedies of people from these three continents. Fantasy, fact and fiction meet at an epic scale.

Based in New York, Kara Walker is acclaimed for her candid explorations of race, sexuality and violence. She is best known for her use of black cut-paper silhouetted figures, referencing the history of slavery and the antebellum South in the US through provocative and elaborate installations.

Fons Americanus is on display at Tate Modern until 5 April 2020. You can explore the artwork in more detail on @tate

Rodrigo Chapa is a Mexican artist who has been working with photography for the past decade. “In his series “Ausentes” (Absents), he makes reference to abstract expressionism by composing images with color field backgrounds and a dancer as the subject. He captures the movement and improvisation of the dancers, in which the record of the physical manifestation of the subject becomes the work of art.” via @trendland

“I was inspired to create this project by an old, scratched CD with 90s music, which just lay on the street and shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow under the sun. On a deformed surface, textures formed that bizarrely changed colors.

“For this project I took various types of CD and DVD disks and destroyed them: I burned disks, froze, tore up, dipped into various chemicals, bent them. It was amazing to see how all disks react differently to the same actions and form different textures.“

Italian artist Nima Tayebia creates dystopian portraits of someone who has lost a memory or was vanished from a timeline. Using chiaroscuro techniques inspired by Black Period of Goya and mixed with later El Greco these artworks won’t leave you for free. Scary but intriguing …

Canadian artist David Umemoto creates Escher-esque concrete miniature pieces that evoke temporary buildings or monuments standing on far-away lands.

“The images conveyed in the mind by these works are numerous. They refer to the archaic and the ephemeral, despite the solidity and the modernity of the medium. Appearing before our eyes are pre-Columbian rock dwellings, god statues from the Andes or Easter Island, steles deteriorated by rain, remnants of modern cities having survived a cataclysm, fragments of Babylonian cities, colonial settlements brought down to their foundations, cenotaphs abandoned in the jungle…”

Panelki by Zupagrafika (previously known by Brutal London project) allows readers to assemble a genuine Soviet-era prefab block, panel by panel, while learning about the history of prefabricated construction systems commonly used behind the Iron Curtain.

Plattenbau, Panel'ak, Wielka Plyta, Panelky, Panelh'az or Панельки: Prefabricated panel blocks go by different names around the former Eastern Bloc, but no matter where they were built, their goal was always the same: to provide homes for expanding city populations after World War II.

Since 1995, Lars-Erik Fisk has reimagined familiar and common-place objects into spheres, which he considers a "basic form… that we can all understand, but is at the same time the least likely form for these subjects to assume.”

Transforming objects in this way engenders a fascination with the mundane and elevates otherwise unnoticed details of one’s everyday surroundings to works of art that demand attention.

Made primarily by hand in the artist’s Brooklyn studio, each circle is designed to engage ordinary elements from parking lots, subway tiles, car parts and pencil stubs. The eclectic material palette uses the components of these architectural and urban facets – namely steel, glass and asphalt – and turn them into perfect spheres; transforming the simple theory into a potent array of sculptures.
