Liminal Air, by Shinji OhmakiJapanese artists Shinji Ohmaki does the unthinkable; visualise the weight of the invisible air all around us. This awesome and strangely cuddly installation is made up from around 123 thousand nylon strings all hanging from the ceiling. Cut off at irregular lengths the threads create almost like some kind of landscape that you can walk through (take your shoes off, though), breathe through and maybe get lost in.
TurmKunst CheckupA while ago I tipped you guys off about an international art project by artists Flying Förtress, Honet, Sozyone and Craig “Krink” Costello. The idea was to give one of the towers in Berlin a sweet new colour. By now the project is in full effect, and Just (from the previous post) was there to photograph it once more. Check out his photos (or just the Turmkunst ones) and awe! Turmkunst :) Above is KR’s work, two more photos after the jump! (more…)
Ephemicropolis Petrus Rootus“Ephemicropolis”, by Peter Root, is just damn cool. Check out the (fast forwarded) video of this guy arranging stacks of staples hours on end after the jump :) (more…)
The Italic RoomI can tell you what I think of this little project here, but I might as well copy-paste a text from Linna Xu’s own portfolio that perfectly describes the meaning and effect of The Italic Room. If you’re still interested bytheway, it will follow after the jump :) (more…)
the Village that was an Optical IllusionFelice Varini certainly is an ambitious kind of artist and probably a very charismatic figure too, getting a whole village to agree on having circles painted on their houses. After projecting these rings onto the village they were applied to the houses, so that they appear like they are in the above panorama, giving the village a flat, postcardy appearance to it. I imagine it’s a very special sight. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Felice and the town of Vercorin, Switzerland, for making the project “Cercle et suite d’éclats” a fact :) You’ll find a panorama, and two close up pictures from another perspective after the jump. I ofcourse copied them from the site. (more…)
Turm Kunst“Turmkunst” they call it, the german words for “tower” and “art”. Honet (France), Flying Förtress (Germany), Craig “KR” Costello (US&A) and Sozyone (Spain) will be painting the outsides of this former restaurant. I’m not sure if I think the building is butt-ugly or retrofuturistic cool (some pictures of it from a worms eye view are quite cool), but I am quite certain that it could use a little touch-up. After the damage has been done, 14 international artists will exhibit their work there. Work starts on April 4th, exhibition May 15th. If I have money I might just make the trip. God living in Europe is awesome! The video at the top of this post just about says it all, but if you could always check out their site or Vimeo profile for more info and video. I’ve included a clear pic of the Bierpinsel after the (more…)
Michael Johansson Ghost CabinetI know everything is great in Sweden, but white never looked that good on furniture, not even in my wildest dreams. Eyegasm courtesy of Michael Johansson :)
Michel de Broin, Disco Paris!
A giant discoball in the parisian sky, consisting of a thousand mirrors. That, a 50 meter high crane and some good spotlights make Michel de Broin’s public installation a success in my opinion. Wish they’d cheer up the place around here sometime, too.
