I imagined her floating between both: soft, self-possessed, and a little timeless." ## Soft Armor  "They say women barely flinch or complain during tattoos. I liked that quiet toughness. This portrait mixes softness and stillness, drawn with **alcohol markers and colored pencils**." ## First Star Tonight  "Drawn with colored pencils and markers, this piece was inspired by my love of stars and quiet moods. I like capturing that **in-between mood** when a character looks calm, but you're not sure why." ## Frog Hair Day  "This is a playful portrait that blends fantasy with **sketchbook looseness** and overgrown details. I aim for subtle emotions in my characters: open to interpretation, but deeply felt."

Government investment in ACE has plummeted by **32% in real terms since 2010**. When the council's main grant platform collapsed earlier this year, remaining out of action for four months, the government offered only technical advice - a stark contrast to the **£1.5 billion loan** extended to Jaguar Land Rover after their cyber-attack. Local authorities, crippled by years of central funding cuts, face impossible choices between essential services and cultural programming. As we approach the autumn budget, industry bodies warn this could be a **tipping point** for many organizations. Critical support mechanisms like business rates relief for cultural buildings are ending, and the Shared Prosperity Fund is winding down. ## The Stark Contrast with Sports Funding While the arts struggle for survival, the government allocated **half a billion pounds** for three major sporting events and another **£400 million for grassroots sports facilities**. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy defended this disparity by stating "sport tells our story in a way few other things can." Yet the numbers tell a different story: the arts and culture industry contributes **over £10 billion annually** to the UK economy and **£2.8 billion each year** to the Treasury through taxation alone.  ## What Art Truly Provides Beyond economic metrics, art provides something immeasurable: the ability to stand side by side with strangers, unified by wonder and shared experience. In Durham, people came year after year, in rain and cold, to stand together in the light. This **communal connection** represents what art uniquely offers our society. We often discuss "funding" as if it's a favor, when it's actually **investment in imagination**, shared experience, and our national story. We invest in trains, hospitals, and clean water because we recognize their essential nature. **Art is equally essential** to our collective wellbeing and identity. ## A Call for Change Sector leaders are advocating for a **national arts recovery plan** - not charity, but public investment on equal footing with sport and science. Even a modest commitment in the upcoming budget would signal that culture matters in rebuilding our economy and communities. The people of Durham understood this value intuitively. They came together repeatedly to experience the magic Lumiere created. Now the lights are out, and unless something changes fundamentally, this festival won't be the last to go dark.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>artsfunding</category> <category>culturalcrisis</category> <category>festival</category> <category>ukarts</category> <category>community</category> <enclosure url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/9a1c6493d179f29afe492fe9d40ca0264c480390/582_0_2915_2333/master/2915.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctb3BpbmlvbnMucG5n&enable=upscale&s=c3002fd7411b4ee396d8df949846ee17" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Discover the Stack Furniture System: A Tool-Free Modular Marvel in Aluminium]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/discover-the-stack-furniture-system-a-tool-free-modular-marvel-in-aluminium</link> <guid>discover-the-stack-furniture-system-a-tool-free-modular-marvel-in-aluminium</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2025 19:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ## Other Featured Products ### Rificolona Lamps by E-ggs for Miniforms Italian brand **Miniforms** and design studio **E-ggs** collaborated on a series of lights with dimpled shades shaped like UFOs.

Felipe with their daughter Zoe in the Hamburg house they restored.* ## The Pull of Home and Design Some words can encapsulate entire outlooks on life; "homesick" is one of them, and **Marie von Behrens-Felipe** knows that feeling well. Commuting between her Hamburg home and New York, the model and influencer, who started blogging at the age of 12, fell in love with Brooklyn. She eventually moved to New York with her partner, Roberto A. Felipe, and embraced the pace and energy of the city. Then came a pause during the pandemic, when the pair acquired a second home together in Hamburg—where Felipe, whose professional life with a start-up required him to commute between Kentucky, Los Angeles, and New York began to discover the charms of the northern German city. "In Hamburg, I learned to appreciate little things above all: the morning run along the Alster, the clean air, and the proximity to nature," he tells AD *Germany*.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>architecture</category> <category>homedesign</category> <category>midcentury</category> <category>relocation</category> <category>restoration</category> <enclosure url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/68ee97277dba689dafb6fa91/16:9/w_1280,c_limit/OK_250728_AD_behrens-felipe_5148%C2%A9CharlotteSchreiber.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[From Hated to Hero: The Incredible Transformation of a Brutalist Landmark]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/from-hated-to-hero-the-incredible-transformation-of-a-brutalist-landmark</link> <guid>from-hated-to-hero-the-incredible-transformation-of-a-brutalist-landmark</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 07 Nov 2025 19:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *The Breuer building on Madison Avenue is an upside down ziggurat quarantined by concrete walls from neighboring buildings* ## A Building That Divided a City When it first opened, the building was described as "**the most disliked building in New York**" by Ada Louise Huxtable, The New York Times's former architecture critic. This gray granite fortress featured concrete walls that quarantined the Whitney from neighboring buildings, with a stepped-cantilever facade that retreated from Madison Avenue behind a dry moat - as if assuming a defensive posture. Authors of the 1967 "A.I.A. Guide to New York" even joked about boiling oil being spilled from the Whitney's Cyclopean window on visitors crossing Breuer's concrete bridge. Yet despite its imposing exterior, the lobby of slate, stone and bush-hammered concrete revealed a cocoon of cool, understated luxury and sculptural finesse. ## The Irony of Preservation The building's history is rich with irony. In 1978, Breuer himself precipitated a **U.S. Supreme Court ruling** that reshaped American preservation law when he designed a proposed office tower for Grand Central Terminal. The court upheld New York City's preservation law, blocking Breuer's plan and establishing precedent for preservation laws across all 50 states and more than 500 municipalities. Less than a decade later, the tables turned when the Whitney wanted to expand Breuer's own building. Preservationists who had opposed Breuer's Grand Central scheme now rallied to defend his Whitney design against expansion proposals from architects including **Michael Graves** and **Rem Koolhaas**.  *Klimts in the redesigned fourth floor galleries of the new headquarters of Sotheby's, with the old slate floor and big window overlooking Madison Avenue* ## The Thoughtful Transformation After the Whitney moved to its new Renzo Piano building in 2015, the Breuer building was leased to The Met and then the Frick Collection. Seeing masterpieces like the Frick's Rembrandts and Titians in Breuer's abstract spaces made both the art and the architecture feel fresh and relevant again. Now, after a **thoughtful renovation** by the New York office of **Herzog & de Meuron**, the storied Swiss architecture firm, the building reopens as Sotheby's new headquarters. The approach has been deeply respectful, with minimal structural changes and an emphasis on materiality and crisp detail typical of Herzog & de Meuron. ## What Actually Changed The renovation mostly involved surface changes: - **Steam-cleaning** of Breuer's gorgeous walls - Conversion of previously closed galleries back to public exhibition spaces - Restoration of axial views to Breuer's trapezoidal, gun-port windows - Addition of a fifth-floor mezzanine turned into a V.I.P. skybox with mirrored glass - Sleek vitrines added to some of Breuer's built-in lobby furniture - One major structural alteration: a service elevator on the north end for moving art  *Herzog & de Meuron spruced up the lobby gallery, here showing works by Roy Lichtenstein that Sotheby's is selling* ## The Biggest Change of All Perhaps the most significant transformation is that entry to the building will now be **free** - unlike when it was a ticketed museum. At Sotheby's, while the art is for sale, anyone can walk in to peruse the exhibitions. The story of the Breuer building follows the classic architectural love story arc: we can't stand a work of architecture until we fight not to lose it. What was once hated has become loved, and through thoughtful, respectful intervention, this **Brutalist behemoth** has found new life while honoring its original vision.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>brutalism</category> <category>architecture</category> <category>preservation</category> <category>renovation</category> <category>designhistory</category> <enclosure url="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2025/11/06/multimedia/06cul-kimmelman-breuer-promo/06cul-kimmelman-breuer-promo-facebookJumbo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
