“When Matt Stuart, a London-based street photographer, talks about his artistic approach, one could almost mistake him for a member of the paparazzi. “I’ve learnt over the years what works and what doesn’t,” he says. “I keep my elbows in, and after I take a picture I flick my nose—and it’s so quick that people think: Did he just take my picture or did he just scratch his nose? And 95% of people think you scratched your nose.” ”

“Laurie Anderson, a New York-based performance artist, has carved a unique niche for herself over the past three decades. Her multimedia stage shows often address big topics, such as war and nationality in “Homeland” (2008), space and time in “The End of the Moon” (2005), and feature dazzling video images, beautiful synthesised sonorities, her lullaby voice and trademark electronic violin. Her new show, “Delusion”, is a beguiling montage of largely personal stories—about her mother (who died last year), rat terrier Lolabelle, her hopes and dreams. The show premièred at the Vancouver Culture Olympiad in February, and is Anderson’s most poetic work to date.”
