— Fashion Fetish Lily Donaldson This week supermodel Lily Donaldson shuns the usual fashion-does-fetish stereotypes by championing a more unusual erotic group, the 'furries'. The new film - shot in vintage VCR-type footage - sees lingerie-clad Donaldson sport a giant tiger head while frolicking by the LA poolside. Her witty exploration of the strange sexual appeal some see in cuddly anthropomorphic animals is live now as part of our 'Fashion Fetish' series. — Live — Death Rose Robson Taxidermist Rose Robson is the latest creative to set up camp at Bruton Place for a unique two-day residency that will be streaming live from today, Wednesday 1 August. Taking inspiration from natural history books, especially descriptions of flocks of birds in flight, Robson will be creating a swarm-like sculpture from a range of different carcasses all while answering your submitted questions. — Essay — Death Nicolas Niarchos Coinciding with the display of the Gao Brothers' challenging bronze 'The Execution of Christ' in our 'Death' exhibition comes a uniquely presented essay by journalist Nicolas Niarchos. The scholarly piece unpicks the contemporary debates surrounding Chairman Mao's ideas, using footage of London to infer their relevance to today's existence. — Tumblr — Guest Curator Aaron Moore Taking the baton from blogger Felice Fawn, Irish-born artist Aaron Moore is the latest guest curator to take the helm of the SHOWstudio Tumblr. Expect dark connotations and a refined aesthetic as Moore revisits a range of photographic works, posting imagery from fashion editorials, art works, CCTV crime footage and self-portraits. Tune in all this week from today, Wednesday 1 July, to see Moore in action. — Audio Mix — Fashion Mix Michael van der Ham and Umit Benan Fresh design talent rules the roost this week as London rising star Michael van der Ham and Italian talent Umit Benan each offer a Fashion Mix. The week opened with a laid back vibe as van der Ham served up relaxed sounds from the likes of Joanna Newson and Joni Mitchell. On Friday, perfectly in tune with the riotous energy at his most recent eponymous show in Milan, Benan will heat things up, launching his mix with the iconic 'The One and Only' by Chesney Hawkes. Enjoy!
