In April, I had a great deal of fun writing on Max Hooper Schneider. His studio in Inglewood is a strange and wonderful place, full of alchemy and strange nostalgic objects. There is a large collection of metal cassette tapes, a variety of biology experiments, and lots of bones. It he wasn't an artist, he would make an interesting character on Fringe or the X-Files. The link takes you to an overview of Max's work:
