Straight off the back of his exhibition at Sydney's MCA, contemporary artist Anish Kapoor is currently exhibiting a comprehensive collection of his work at the Martin Gropius Bau Museum in Berlin. It consists of 70 works that cover 3,000 square metres - with some of the new pieces referencing the building's link to Berlin and the Nazi era. 

In the atrium of the museum stands one of the larger pieces - Sympathy for a Beloved Sun - where four conveyor belts carry wax up high and then it tips over the edge, crashing to the ground with a loud splat. The piece itself is an homage to artist Joseph Beuys who presented 'In Zeitgeist' in the same space in 1982.

The exhibition runs until the 24 of November 2013.

Lo Siento, a Spanish graphic design company created this striking typography display with dye and bubble wrap for UK magazine Wired. The dye is inserted using a syringe needle and is a great example of three dimensional typography.

On display at the David Gill St James gallery in London is the Brazilian Baroque series by the Campana Brothers. From afar the collection of furniture clearly emulates that of traditional baroque era pieces, however upon closer inspection the gilded gold legs, back rests and lamp shades are made up of tiny gold objects that have been welded together. The metal keys, leaves and figurines were fused together by a Roman workshop that specialises in bronze work. The larger pieces were first on display in Paris last year, however this is the first time that the smaller table objects have been seen.

800 square meters has been allocated in Paris's Les Arts Décoratifs for Paris-based designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec to show off fifteen years worth of projects. Titled 'Momentané', the pair use large-scale textile architecture to host installations between elaborate partitions. The exhibition is designed to retrace every stage of the pair's esteemed career so far, including some of their most latest work. An impressive not to mention eclectic exhibition that should be a must visit for those visiting Paris over the next few months.

Billed as the largest indoor sculpture ever made, famous installation artist Christo has created the 'Big Air Package' in Germany, his first major public piece since the death of his partner Jeanne-Claude in 2009. 

Standing at 90 metres high and 50 metres wide, the white inflatable mass has no skeleton and boasts a volume of 177,000 cubic meters. Filling the interior of former gas tank Gasometer in Oberhausen, the interior is eery and still, filled with soft natural daylight from the skylights in the Gasometer. Sort of what we imagine a new-age cathedral to look like, viewing this work would no doubt be an ethereal experience.

To celebrate Italian furniture brand Cassina's 85 years of existence, esteemed fashion designer and all-round creative Karl Lagerfeld created a series of photographs inspired by the Cassina archives.

The series captures 'portraits' of historic and contemporary works from designers such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Gio Ponti and Piero Lissoni, to name but a few. Lending each piece an unusual and mysterious air, Karl had this to say about the collaboration: "I had never 'worked' on this kind of project. To visually reinterpret examples of perfect design is completely new for me, and therefore stimulating, exciting even."

Eerily charming and undeniably creepy, German artist Wolfgang Stiller's giant matchstick creations are part of an exhibition entitled 'burnout' at Python Gallery in Zurich. Either laid to rest in their own matchbox coffins, or splayed across the exhibition space, each piece was created using head molds and bamboo wood planks, their varied expressions resulting in an eclectic crowd of disturbing matchstick men.

Berlin-based artist Katharina Grosse is considered by many to be one of the most inventive and intriguing painters working today. Her kaleidoscopic fusion of painting with architecture and sculpture is instantly recognizable, yet constantly evolving, as evident in her latest work at the De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art, Tilburg. 

A central, sculptural installation features giant balloon-like orbs of multi-coloured PVC hanging from the ceiling in a complex labyrinth. A selection of Grosse's large-scale painting are also scattered amongst the gallery, demonstrating the artist's skill in the traditional flat-canvas medium. Using a spray gun to enliven surfaces, Grosse's work hold unique appeal, balanced between abstract expressionism and street graffiti techniques.

At only 22 years of age, Hungarian photographer Noell S. Oszvald shows remarkable talent for someone who began her odyssey into the world of photography a mere 12 months ago. Having shared only two dozen images with the world thus far, Oszvald's pictures indicate an accomplished grasp of composition, editing and digital manipulation, each one an entrancing scene that has been meticulously crafted. Oszvald prefers to shoot solely in black and white, finding colour to be a deterrent from her conceptual ideas. Beautiful and slightly haunting we certainly hope to see more of this photographers work in the months to come.

The design industry was deeply saddened after the death of renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer when he passed away in December last year, at the grand old age of 104. As a tribute to Niemeyer and his many years of service to the architecture world, street artist Eduardo Kobra has covered the entire side of a Sao Paulo building with a mural dedicated to the architect. The polychromatic piece stretches a mammoth 52 metres in height, and due to this size Kobra had to enlist help from four other artists to complete the artwork.
