New exhibition about dynamics of global cities at Tate Modern
Global Cities looks at the changing faces of ten dynamic international cities: Cairo, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai, São Paulo, Shanghai and Tokyo.
Exploring each city through five thematic lenses – speed, size, density, diversity and form – the exhibition draws on data originally assembled for the 10th International Architecture Exhibition at the 2006 Venice Biennale. This unique show presents existing films, videos and photographs by more than 20 artists and architects to offer subjective and intimate interpretations of urban conditions in all ten cities.

The exhibition takes place between June 20 and August 27. If you aren't able to visit, I recommend the website which is packed with interesting photos and reading materials.

At the far end of the long tail
This just fascinates me.
Meatpaper is a print magazine of art and ideas about meat. We like metaphors more than marinating tips. We are your journal of meat culture.

The aesthetics of curiosity
I found this great book in the Tate Modern bookshop, which is a ultra-condensed introduction to the 'what is art' discussion, art history, various discourses and aesthetics. I strongly recommend it to anyone that's interested in art but dislikes the idea investing two years in art history classes.
What does this book have to do with planning then? Absolutely nothing!
