In a career spanning 30 years, Schütze has exhibited his photographic and installation works in galleries and museums around the world, released over thirty albums of original recordings, scored a number of films and performed numerous concerts. He has collaborated with artists such as James Turrell, Josiah McElheny and Isaac Julien and musicians as diverse as Bill Laswell, Raoul Björkenheim, Toshinori Kondo, Lol Coxhill and Jah Wobble.

Dressing The Air is a unique open resource that aims to enrich creative thinking by encouraging a multi-sensory approach. A constantly evolving archive and creative news feed, Dressing The Air monitors and reports on a diverse range of art-forms from cinema to sculpture, painting to furniture design, land-art to perfumery.

Louvre Lens - SANAA

While it may be premature to judge just yet, this SANAA designed outpost of The Louvre promises an unusually coherent integration of architecture and landscaping seldom seen today. SANAA's signature white-on-white elegance and transparency is offset by Catherine Mosbach's beautifully sympathetic, often quite graphic tones, forms and textures perfectly complimenting the stature and profiles of the built structures. It will be fascinating to see how this actually functions once the site is open to the public.
