Search ArticlesArt, sound and a very small house: Three Tokyo exhibitions to see in October
Tokyo’s creative scene is in full swing this autumn. Monocle stops by three galleries to peruse a graphic design survey, sample an immersible audio visual installation and explore a fresh take on a literary classic from 13th-century Japan. Azabudai Hills Gallery is the setting for the latest presentation of a site-specific work by the late musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and visual artist Shiro Takatani.
European carmakers are getting their show back on the road to drive off Chinese threat
Paris Motor Show, the Mondial de l’Auto, is an important showcase for French car manufacturing. French president Emmanuel Macron likes to tour the halls when the exhibition, which prominently features homegrown brands such as Renault and Citroën, comes around every other year (this edition was no exception). But when the show opened earlier this week, all anyone could talk about was the Chinese marques fanned out across the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
The recent strikes on Saudi airports show that the kingdom still has some way to go when it comes to security
Following last weekend’s Houthi attacks on its airports, Saudi Arabia is seeking US defence support. The appeal comes a year after the kingdom gave its military a historic cash injection, making it the world’s eighth-largest defence spender – and is a test of the alliances that it has cultivated. Last weekend’s attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300.

Swedish listeners are changing their tune – and ‘Aftonbladet’ has launched a radio station to stay on their wavelength
Sweden’s media market, whose influence lies in a small, concentrated group of commercial media houses such as Bauer Group, Viaplay, Bonnier News and Schibsted, is undergoing a transformation. What’s making things interesting, however, is that within these organisations, individual outlets are growing and diversifying to reach an audience base that gets their media through a variety of platforms.
Tom Cruise’s ‘Digger’ is dividing critics – but for most, it has dug its own grave
Alejandro González Iñárritu’s new film, Digger, has been critically panned all over the world. The Boston Globe gave it 0 stars; The Guardian called it “shallow, laborious” and “the most disappointing film of the year”. So far, it is also a commercial disaster: having cost more than $250m (€223m) to make and market, it only took $8m (€7.1m) domestically during its first week in cinemas. Some are predicting that it will be the greatest flop of all time.
For some, today’s national holiday is a bright display of Spanish pride. For others, it’s something darker
If you’re Spanish, today’s Fiesta Nacional de España celebrations might be defined by how you feel about the national flag – or your willingness to wear a nifty red-and-yellow bracelet. A brief history lesson before we start accessorising: while the holiday is meant to be dedicated to national unity, its origin has become a point of contention thanks to Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus), whose arrival in the Caribbean on 12 October was christened Hispanic Day.
Monocle’s autumn quiz winners: Some pencils are sharper than others
Good morning, bom dia from sunny, balmy Lisbon, where the parrots have returned for their early morning coffee visit, the banana trees at either end of the terrace are looking a bit sad and I’m about to start packing for a little jaunt to São Paulo. If you missed last week’s column, it was autumn quiz time. First, I want to say thank you to all the participants who obediently observed the Monday deadline.
A tour of the world’s best autumn/winter menswear collections and collaborations
Menswear brands have dropped trousers and more. But what has caught the eye this season? It seems that clothiers have fallen for popped collars again and – encouragingly – remain certain that quality fabrics are a non-negotiable. And for those who have also flicked through hundreds of brands’ lookbooks this autumn, I ask you this: why is every collection being shot in Scotland this year? Seriously, the Hebrides have never been better dressed – or better-looking.
