Design news: style after a mastectomy, a pop art funfair and a skate ramp at Chelsea
A new book about women in architecture, the fashion collective making art out of clothes and a ferris wheel designed by Jean-Michel Basquiat
The original exhibition in Hamburg was visited by 250,000 curious visitors, but legal and logistical problems sent Heller into debt so the glass maze by Lichenstein, Keith Haring’s carousel and Basquiat’s ferris wheel went into storage, where they lay forgotten until Michael Goldberg, a creative director based in Brooklyn, came across a story about it online. Under this name, Brussels-based artist Lucy McKenzie and Edinburgh designer Beca Liscombe create clothes made by local manufacturers and which are shown in art galleries or installations where the public can order the items they want to buy. Reading the philosophies of these diverse and driven architects, looking for ways to circumnavigate climate change, the legacy of colonialism or lack of funding, the lessons to be learnt from this book are not just about the female experience, but about the condition of the human race.
