For the third volume of our eight-part series, Bracket — we survey 16 individuals on the future of education and its' impact on creativity.

"Sometimes the argument in education seems to go against free will and creative spirit, but increasingly it's the fact that education has become a business and a production line that destroys the innate power of education and it's ability for change. The students that demonstrate on the streets of London on behalf of education act like dissatisfied customers, for that is what they have become."

Bracket Vol. 02 features 16 visionaries who have pursued their hunger to create change in the world.

"Emerson wrote that a man's ambition is proportional to his abilities, that "the height of the pinnacle is determined by the breadth of his base." These are the words of a hungry man. And if we follow their logic, then what we have in this issue are snapshots of sixteen motherfucking mountains."

This is a story about death. Almost.

For sure, it begins with death, which gives birth to many things: Fear, ingenuity and life.

Once upon a time, paper was an important aspect of every part of our lives. It gave us privacy when it was a screen, it sheltered us from rain as an umbrella. It was an expression of artistry in the hands of
skilled paper-makers.

Thanks to digital proliferation, paper's numerous variants and breeds are dying out, leaving only the dull A4 copier paper, most commonly found in offices. In such dire straits, we've called on twelve individuals from all artistic disciplines to create an object using only paper - to create things of beauty, things of usefulness or anything else they can imagine, as long as it elevates the status of paper — from a surface for printing,
to a versatile medium of brilliant creativity.

Dual City Sessions is conceived as a platform for international collaboration and cross-pollination between two cities, bringing together emerging and innovative practitioners in the fields of art, fashion, music and design.

28 artists from Singapore and Japan were invited to create an artwork based on the themes of nature, architecture and other elements symbolic of their country. Using only two elements in strictly monochromatic tones, the artworks were conceived, designed and constructed as two 8-metre long installations.
