'narrow mist'

With each of his new works, austrian artist erwin wurm reinvents the vocabulary of sculpture
turning it on its head. using simple materials, mundane objects, wit and written instructions, wurm invites people to interact with his art, transforming spectators into active participants, encouraging them to poke fun at the paradoxes of contemporary society. designboom just visited erwin wurm's interactive exhibition 'narrow mist', on show at the UCCA in beijing, which presents sculptures influenced by childhood houses, fashion fetishes an 'stuff' you can find in the chinese metropolis.










Ahhh, nice is'nt it so?

I got a hidden thought. I can't wait for 2011 to come by! OMG!

The Speed of Light by UVA

Never a single name said more of its owner than UVA. United Visual Artists, founded by Chris Bird, Matt Clark and Ash Nehru in 2003, are a design and architecture collective based in London, specialized in architectural and responsive installations, live performance and public art. Their strong point is their work with light and space that is truly original and deeply emotive. It is not a matter of chance that their trajectory is more than impressive since they have made tour visuals for Massive Attack, U2, UNKLE and The Chemical Brothers, installations for the Victoria & Albert Museum and fashion show light visuals for Y-3 and Vivienne Westwood.

Sculptures that speak.

Ahh, it does really speaks ay? Visually as well as the complication of all the senses mixing all up.

PixCell-Elk#2 by Kohei Nawa

“By covering surface of an object with transparent glass beads, the existence of the object itself is replaced by “a husk of light”, and the new vision “the cell of an image” (PixCell) is shown. Most of the motifs, like stuffed animals are found through the internet. I search some auction sites and choose from the images which appear on a monitor as pixel. However, the stuffed animals which actually have been purchased and sent have real flesh feel and smell, and have a discrepancy with images on the monitor. I then transpose them to PixCell in turn.” - Kohei Nawa

“Broken Things”

here

“Broken Things” highlights the meticulous work of Livia Marin, a process–oriented approach, which appropriates mass-produced and mass-consumed objects, turning them into precious and uniquely, handcrafted art objects. For this exhibition, Marin finely sculpts everyday objects – cups, bowls jars and plates – modeled with ruptures, splits and crevices. The fractures represent fatality and loss, but in repairing and keeping the object she stresses the relationship of care and continuation. Surreality and repetition are important procedures in the artist's work, creating a mechanization of the intimate relationship we have with objects of everyday use.

skateboard art

haroshi:

Japanese wood sculptor haroshi specializes in creating three-dimensional art pieces
from used and broken skateboard decks.

Although haroshi uses one type of material for his art, skate decks vary widely in size and structure depending on the factory, brand and model. in creating his sculptures, he filters through thousands of old decks and individually picks out the perfect board to use. After they are stacked, cut and shaved to form, they are painted and polished to a candy-like finish.

Not available to the outside observer is another one of haroshi's artistic details. during construction, each sculpture is given a "soul", a broken metal skateboard piece that is laid in the core of the piece. Unkei, a 12th century japanese buddha sculptor,
had a similar practice of including a crystal ball in his statues as the "soul" of the buddha.



















I am so blown away. I like the colours combination. Whooo!

title: puddle

Function: installation for design x science meeting "earth : materials for design"
Site: miraikan, koto-ku, tokyo
Material: cellophane
Size: 1820x1820x150
Curator: mao imaizumi, masanori onishi

“Puddle” was part of an exhibition titled “Earth: materials for design” that just recently closed at the Miraikan in Tokyo."






The reason I post this piece of art work up is simply because of the simple usage of material and the fusion of the colours. I saw one resembles of this work during one of the Graduation I went this year. The forms are in undulating shapes though. Like sea of mountain.
