Landholder duty: is any capital raising now substantially one arrangement?
Any company or unit trust which has interests in land seeking to raise equity, and any investor looking to make such investments, will need to be aware of the duty risks as a result of the Oliver Hume decision. The duty risk may be higher for companies or unit trusts which are created to give effect to a single venture. When interests in a landholder are transferred, such as through issuing shares, there will be a question of the duty payable on those transactions.
Jess Chen on Fatma Bucak
Fatma Bucak’s twelve-panel mosaic A Tree, 2022, depicts tightly intertwined branches and a splintered trunk that resembles two people embracing.

Paul Fägerskiöld: 2100
MARCH 2022 Issue ArtSeen On View Galerie Nordenhake January 28–March 12, 2022 Berlin Astronomy and astrology were once one, a single discipline that studied and interpreted celestial phenomena.

If the fault is not in our stars, what might we find by looking at them?
Don't Look Back: Renée Green's Present Tense
Renée Green’s latest exhibition Inevitable Distances unfolds across two locations, the KW Institute of Contemporary Art and the daadgalerie, both of which bill the show as a “comprehensive retrospective.” While certainly true – the show includes works from the past three decades – the notion of a retrospective is counterproductive to Green’s work. In fact, her oeuvre rethinks relationships to time, how the shrapnel of history can resurface and puncture the present moment.

The Sound of America: Jeanne Thornton’s Summer Fun
Books Jeanne Thornton Summer Fun (Soho Press, 2021) When you hear about a book called Summer Fun that’s about a ’60s rock band à la The Beach Boys you may have a particular idea for the cover, maybe even the story. Close your eyes, picture it—because that’s the only time you’ll experience your assumption of the book. Summer Fun by Jeanne Thornton is an epistolary novel that is as much mystery as cultural analysis and rewards the reader by never giving us what we expect or what we think we want.

Every Wall is a Door
ArtSeen On View Superblue Miami May 20, 2021 – Ongoing Miami In 1966, new media pioneer Stan VanDerBeek wrote an essay for the journal Film Culture outlining his utopian vision of intermedia “experience machines,” computational, spatialized moving images.
