For their presentation on The Bass’ Instagram gallery @TheBassSquared, three works by the Brazilian and French duo survey their digital and video practice.
Colorful and psychedelic, yet meditative, the collage-like work, antes vulgar agora fino (2012) abstracts and animates imagery from another series of drawings titled “Cyclops Trans Cheesecakes”.

Either because they are so very unique to South Carolina, or because they're just so wonderful they really belong on the bucket list. Here are five of the best picks for epic adventures.
How-To Fried Okra
No summer is complete without a few batches of homemade fried okra, dredged in flour and fried until golden. These fried nuggets with hints of green peeping through are so delicious, there's no need to add anything except a light dusting of salt. Make this Southern popcorn recipe.
How-To Tomato Pie
Make the most of those fresh tomatoes with a savory Southern Tomato Pie. It's full of flavor with two kinds of cheese, fresh sun-ripened tomatoes and a buttery pie crust. Serve this beloved dish with a salad for light lunch or as a side with your favorite grilled protein for dinner.
How-To Summer Squash
No matter what category a squash may fall under - fruit or vegetable - it is a summertime favorite down south. Squash is great grilled or roasted, but South Carolinian's can't resist a good casserole recipe. Who can resist a cheesy baked casserole sprinkled with buttery cracker crumbs? Indulge in this recipe.
