Medieval imagery is turning up across pop culture, from chainmail-wearing musicians to high-fashion catwalks. This week in east London, two men staged a joust on Lime bikes using PVC pipes. Artist Corbin Shaw's Feast of Fools, shown alongside Frieze, drew on a medieval festival where peasants could mock the wealthy, and Troye Sivan plays a knight in his Party video.

Architect Isay Weinfeld, who co-directed a feature film in 1988, has designed Cine Tutu, a 114-seat independent cinema and the first street cinema in São Paulo's Vila Madalena. Visitors pass through a café-bar and a lounge-style waiting area with olive-green banquettes, then reach a screening room with floral-print seating, an 8.9m screen, 4K projection and Dolby 7.1 sound. The venue, founded by Paulo Velasco, is one of the locations for the 50th São Paulo International Film Festival.
London studio Nebbia, founded by Madhav Kidao and Brando Posocco, has completed Interlude, the second work in New Zealand's Paererewā programme, which aims to produce 1,000 pieces built to endure for a millennium. The climbable, portal-shaped sculpture stands on a cliff in Jardine Park and is made from basalt bluestone sourced in Timaru. The designers say it need not stay unchanged, since the region's seismic activity and the vast timespan mean it may weather or fragment over time.
