Emma Kritzberg took the train to a meeting on Mallorca. A journey that took 54 hours and cost double what it would have to fly a couple of hours to the Mediterranean island. Yet, flying was never an option. She has not flown once for work or privately in the last six years, a conscious decision she took to reduce her carbon footprint.

Kristyan Nicholson When entering Kristyan Nicholson´s MFA exhibition TOMORROW HAS NEVER BEEN AS CLOSE AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, I was struck by how quiet the works were. There was an austere yet playful atmosphere, where I felt invited to investigate the potentiality myself, as Nicholson seemed to offer a series of wonderments to the viewer, through both sculpture and video using materials such as the s
