The Sequence.

From the artist, Arne Quinze, “THE SEQUENCE bridges the communication gap between people and generates movement in the city. I want to reconnect people and let them interact with each other like they did in the past on squares. At least people talked to each other then.” This piece by the Belgian artist was installed on November 13, 2008 and will stay in place for at least 5 years. When the piece is taken down, all of the wood will be reused for another purpose.

The Land of Giants.

American firm Choi + Shine Architects recently received the 2010 Boston Society of Architects Award for Unbuilt Architecture for their project “The Land Of Giants”, which they originally designed for the Icelandic High Voltage Electrical Pylon Competition back in 2008.

Making only minor alterations to well established steel-framed pylon design, the architects created a series of towers that are powerful, solemn and variable. The pylon-figures can be configured to respond to their environment with appropriate gestures.

Field of Light

The installation, consisting of 6,000 acrylic tubes containing optical fibres, is inspired by the way the desert flowers after a rainstorm. Munro was inspired to make this piece during a trip through the Australian red desert 15 years ago. Driving along the Stewart Highway he would stop every night at roadside campsites, which are often in stark contrast to the barren desert that surrounds them: sprinkler-fed oases of green, each one displaying a larger than life sculpture of surreal design and proportions - perhaps a giant banana, pineapple or Merino sheep.

Munro was transfixed by the way the red desert was barren until it rained and then, as if from nowhere, dormant seeds would burst into bloom. He made a series of sketches in the notebook carried in his pocket since art college days, and the idea refused to dislodge from his mind.

Field of Light, like a giant surreal camp-side banana, is an alien installation in the midst of nature. And like dry desert seeds lying in wait for the rain, the sculpture’s fibre optic stems lie dormant until darkness falls, and then under a blazing blanket of stars they flower with gentle rhythms of light. ‘Field of Light’ is about the desert as much as the roadside campsites - and like much of Munro’s work is characterised by an almost mystical passion for nature teamed with a robust sense of humour.

Lighting designer Bruce Munro will present his Field of Light installation at the Eden Project in Cornwall, England, this winter.

Christine Buckton Tillman

She's an artist and her work is pretty fun and interesting.

Artist Statement:

The work I make draws from my collection of images and objects in which I see an inner dichotomy- objects that are at the same time happy and sad, full of joy, and utterly hollow. These objects lose something in translation, the phenomena of a rainbow becomes trite and cliché on the cover of a notebook. I am particularly interested in objects who’s meanings confuse their intended purpose, the bride and groom cake topper who’s lips are painted askew, the fake wood of wood grain contact paper.

I want my work to transform my collection, making things transcend the world of leftovers and craft store while simultaneously embracing and questioning the ideas of cute, fun, festive, and romantic.

This is pretty effin sweet. hahaha

The Great Swallow

This work is done by a Belgian performance artist, Benjamin Verdonck, and it's located on the side of Weena Tower in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Pretty sweet? There's youtube videos too for the more interested.
"The performance represents the struggle of a man who wants to embrace the public, but in doing so must eventually fall out of the nest."
