There’s something quietly magnetic happening at downtown+ right now. Titled “secondskin”, the exhibition unfolds like a tactile conversation between body, material, and space, where surfaces don’t just exist, they speak. The show brings together a thoughtful constellation of artists Jeremy Jaspers, Jun’ya Ishigami, Yuji Yoshida, and Isamu Noguchi, each exploring the idea of “skin” as both boundary and bridge. From the very first step inside, “secondskin” feels less like a traditional exhibition and more like an atmosphere. Materials, textile, wood, paper, pigment, layer themselves in a way that echoes the human experience: protective, expressive, and deeply sensitive. It’s about what covers us, but also what reveals us. At the heart of the exhibition, which runs until April 17, the work of Jeremy Jaspers brings a particularly emotional intensity. Known for his expressive, fluid use of watercolor, Jaspers’ paints figures that seem to hover between presence and disappearance. His portraits, often of individuals with vitiligo, turn skin into both subject and storyteller. Marks, irregularities, and tonal shifts are not concealed; they are celebrated. In his hands, what might traditionally be seen as fragility becomes a powerful visual language of identity. There’s a softness to Jaspers’ technique that feels almost like fabric brushing against skin. Layers of pigment bleed into one another, creating zones of transparency and vibration. His figures don’t demand attention; they draw you in slowly, asking you to look closer, to reconsider what beauty and difference mean. In some works, clothing appears almost as an extension of the body, a protective layer, a “secondskin” that mirrors the exhibition’s central theme. This dialogue extends beautifully into the works of Jun’ya Ishigami and Yuji Yoshida, whose practices blur the boundaries between structure and sensitivity. Their contributions feel architectural yet intimate, as if space itself has a texture. Meanwhile, the timeless presence of Isamu Noguchi grounds the exhibition, his sculptural language reminding us that material can hold both weight and poetry. What makes “secondskin” particularly compelling is the way it dissolves distinctions between art and design, past and present, object and body. It’s a curated ecosystem where each piece responds to another, like layers building upon layers. Behind this thoughtful curation is Luna Laffanour, whose vision for downtown+ continues to redefine how we experience contemporary creation. By bringing historical works into conversation with emerging voices, she creates a space where dialogue feels alive and evolving. With “secondskin”, Laffanour doesn’t just present an exhibition, she invites us to feel it, to inhabit it, and perhaps to rethink the very surfaces we live in.

Enviable protection from the worst that winter can throw at you

Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes has addressed whether he would reprise the role of Voldemort in the upcoming streaming series, where the sinister villain is yet to be cast.Warner Bros-owned streaming platform HBO Max, which only recently launched in the UK, is behind a new adaptation of the Harry Potter saga, which hopes to be an even more thorough and faithful live-action version.Recently, a slew of images from the new series – including first looks at Paapa Essiedu (Babies, The Capture) as Professor Snape and Nick Frost (Transaction, How to Train Your Dragon) as Hagrid – attracted a huge amount of attention.But while several iconic roles have been recast, a huge question remains over the role of Harry Potter's terrifying arch-nemesis, Lord Voldemort, who Fiennes portrayed in five of the eight original films.Appearing on The Claudia Winkleman Show last night, the Conclave star discussed whether he'd return to the role – and suggested that his position on the matter had changed. Fiennes recalled that "some years ago" he'd told press that he would "love to" step back into the Wizarding World, but "nothing's happened" in the time since and he now feels "that ship has sailed".The actor then shifted attention away from him and onto one of the rumoured names up for the coveted gig.He said: "Tilda Swinton was mentioned somewhere as being a contender, and I think she would be amazing,"Having previously worked together on a trio of acclaimed auteur films – Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, Luca Guadagnino's A Bigger Splash, and the Coen Brothers' Hail, Caesar! – it's safe to say that Swinton has his blessing.However, her involvement remains firmly in the realm of rumour and speculation at this stage, with HBO boss Casey Bloys claiming as recently as last month that the role of Voldemort is still yet to be cast in the new series (via Variety).Peaky Blinders icon Cillian Murphy, who recently earned an Academy Award for his work in Oppenheimer, had also been frequently suggested for the part, but proceeded to tell The Times quite firmly that he was "categorically not" joining the series. Several members of the Harry Potter cast, past and present, have faced questions over their opinions on the views of JK Rowling.Rowling has faced backlash in some quarters due to her views on transgender rights. In 2020, she published a lengthy statement detailing her stance on sex and gender debates – the essay was criticised and disputed by LGBTQ+ charities including Stonewall.Rowling has also shared her views on social media, including in a 2024 post on X (formerly Twitter), in which she insisted that “there are no trans kids” and opposed the idea that a child can be “born in the wrong body”.In May 2025, Rowling set up the JK Rowling Women’s Fund, which describes itself as offering legal funding support to “individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights”.Harry Potter actors including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, have distanced themselves from Rowling's views and have issued statements supporting the transgender community.Others, including Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter and Jim Broadbent, have defended the author from the criticism she has received.Harry Potter (the series) is coming soon to HBO Max.

My maternal grandmother purchased a nice set of porcelain dinnerware in 1953. That was back when ladies got all giddy over fine china. One of my grandmother’s sisters had the same set of dishes. Perhaps they were thinking they could lend each other matching teacups if either hosted a large gathering. I’m certain my mother told me all the details related to the fine china numerous times over the years, but I didn’t really pay attention because she was talking about fine china and no one cares about fine china anymore. Ten days before I was born, in 1972, my grandmother died. It’s a strange kind of grief for me to carry, because it comes with a sense that it began in utero. The idea of my mother’s sadness transferring to the fetal version of me is a little silly, of course, and probably manufactured entirely in my imagination, but still, my grandmother holds a heavy emotional sway with me for someone I never met. It is at least true that I entered the world into a family in mourning. Learning about it later is enough to make it a memory. When I see a photo of my grandmother or hear a story about her, it punches me in the gut because we came so close to meeting but never did. If a story about my grandmother involves fine china, however, my mind will wander because there are few things less interesting than fine china. After my grandmother died, I’m not sure what happened to her dishware set. It might have been boxed up by my mother and stored away, or it might have been combined with my grandmother’s sister’s set. What I do know is that after my grandmother’s sister died in the mid-1980s, all the fine china was at my childhood home. We didn’t use or display the fine china, of course, we kept it in the deep recesses of the basement. New technologies had brought changes to the kitchen. Porcelain with decorative paint and metallic trim could be damaged by microwave ovens and high-temperature dishwashers that use strong detergents. Also, I was a teenager in the 1980s. There is no greater threat to fragile things than adolescent males. Grandma’s china needed to be protected from me. By the time I moved out of my parents’ house, it was still an unsafe place for breakable stuff. Grandchildren were stomping around. And again, because of dishwashers and microwaves, fancy tableware has basically been rendered useless forever. So my grandmother’s pride and joy remained in boxes. To my surprise, my mother had actually written “fine china” with a black marker on the outside of the boxes. This seemed rather highfalutin to me, because as modest Minnesotans we’re supposed to call them “the good dishes.” But apparently we aren’t hiding our status as West Duluth royalty. We have fine china and will not euphemize our generational wealth. No one has informed me yet whether it is “antique” or “vintage” fine china. I’m sure it’s one or the other. Eventually my parents became elderly and needed to sell their house and move into a small apartment. There would be no space for storing things. It was time for someone of the next generation to inherit Grandma’s fine china. I don’t know if being the youngest of four children made me first or last in line to inherit the ornate crockery, but my mother gifted it to my wife and me with great sentiment — as if we were the first to be offered it — and we seemingly had no choice but to accept. We knew instantly there would be no space in our small home for a fancy 16-piece dinner set, so I appealed to my siblings to please claim it. They all laughed and waved it off. So in the rush to get the last things cleared out of my parents’ house, I hustled the three boxes of formal tableware to a shelf in my garage, where it all sat for another seven years. Shortly after my parents died, my wife and I found a house we were in love with and decided to move. It was time once again to consider the fate of the fine china. Our new house would have a little more living space, but a lot less storage space. We needed to either find a way to display and/or use our inherited cups and saucers, or get rid of them once and for all. About a month before the move, my wife went out to the garage to go through some things. She opened one of the boxes to have a look at the nuisance dinnerware. And suddenly she was sobbing. The fine china; stored with care since the mid-1980s. I was in the house on the couch when she came in and told me, “We’re going to use your grandmother’s china at the new house. It’s beautiful.” I reflexively began my monologue of reasons why reality will soon set in and we will not use the china set, but my wife interrupted. “It’s really nice,” she said. “And the way your mother packed it up with such care. It obviously meant a lot to her. She even left a note with it.” I was instantly persuaded. Suddenly I couldn’t believe we had been so eager to get rid of the fine china. What kind of heartless animal considers it a burden to hold on to something precious from his granny? It’s not just a duty to maintain family heirlooms like this, it’s an honor and a blessing. When we moved into our new home, however, it became clear there was no room for china in the kitchen unless we used it exclusively and got rid of our more practical dishware. So we wedged the boxes of china on the lower level of a large shelf in the garage, where it will remain until it becomes someone else’s blessing.

There is no genre quite like Midwest Emo. Within the scape of this genre, there are few groups like Camping In Alaska. From their song titles being fun and nonsensical, to their lyrics being deep and intimate, Camping In Alaska is a supergroup in the world of Midwest Emo. Walking into Cat’s Cradle I was not prepared for the show that I was in for. I was expecting a calm night of music that I love. When the music started around eight, I instantly realized that I was in for a wild ride. With the crowd moshing, the music bumping, and the bands bringing the energy, this was a show like no other. With opening acts from Gol Olímpico, Stella, and Dead Butterflies, by the time that Camping In Alaska came out, the crowd was pumped. These opening acts brought the energy in ways that I rarely see at any shows. The energy was unmatched for the entire three hours of music. As Camping In Alaska came out, the excitement was permeable in the room. It is rare that a band of this niche comes to North Carolina. This rarity made the excitement bubble over into crowd surfing, stage diving, and all sorts of moshing. The energy of the crowd was like nothing I have ever seen at an established venue. There was a mix of new and old music being played throughout the night. Camping In Alaska is set to record new tracks this year and the sneak peeks make me extremely excited for this upcoming release. Some highlights of the night were a cover of The Jazz June by Stella, Dead Butterflies playing Embers, and Camping In Alaska playing c u in da ballpit. These tracks, along with the unreleased tracks played throughout the night created a mix of new and old that was refreshing for a regular concert-goer. This show was one of the best I have been to at Cat’s Cradle. I would recommend anyone that can catch a show on the next two weeks of this tour should. Every band on the ticket was amazing, the crowd energy was there to match, and the venue was top notch. -Lachlan Vester The post Concert Review – Camping In Alaska appeared first on WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student Radio.
