You remember how adventurous everyday life was when you were a kid? The cellar of your parents was an exciting cave labyrinth and the garden of your granny an exotic savanna… Well, children dont need too much input, they just add a critical portion of thrill and excitement to actually pretty simple things using their huge imagination. This project by Dave Devries might be seen as an attempt to reproduce the world as it is seen through children’s eyes… Via BuzzFeed

Aus dem ordnungstreu aufeinander gestapelten Alltagsgrau der westfälischen Provinzmetropole Münster funkeln neuerdings drei bunte Kristallisationspunkte der zeitgenössischen Illustrations- und Characterkunst. Schillernd brechen sich hier alle Farben des alltäglichen Gefühlslebens und erzeugen so ein anregendes Kaleidoskopspiel von heiterer bis tragikomischer Exotik. toytoi nennt sich das glitzernde Konstrukt und wie der Name erahnen lässt, verfolgt das Projekt der drei diplomierten Designer Andrey Duhnev, Malte Rommel und Jan Philipp Huss einen unverkrampft- spielerischen Ansatz.

Stunning photography from Norway: Rune Guneriussen arranges everyday objekts in an natural environment and creates complex emotiotional sceneries in this way. Also the technical aspects of his work are absolutely amazing! Check out the PicLens mode of my new gallery plugin for maximum viewing full pleasure.
I love this kind of photography. Morbid, sick, pregnant with meaning. Check out the website of Norway hailing artist Simen Johan for lots of more impressing works.

Matthieu Bessudo aka Mc Bess concisely describes himself as an expensive illustrator and director. And looking at the work of the young Frenchman now lining in London pretty much entitles him to be so. Read the rest of this entry »
Mr. Aerosol, known from pleasantly confusing people’s optical perception at festivals like Fusion, Boom or Psychedelic Circus, discovered a new toy and put his projections to the next level with it: After illuminating the city tower of a small Austrian city on New Years Eve with a stunning I-dont-know-how-much-thousand-Watts projector, he lead his Photon Guerilla to some spots in North Germany and arranged some non less amazing light sculptures there. Check out the “PicLens” option of my new gallery plugin in fullscreen mode for the whole watching pleasure! Read the rest of this entry »
I am sure that most of you, who are reading these lines right now, already saw some work of Andy Goldsworthy. I myself saw quite some photographies and books of pictures about his art before a friend of mine recommended me the movie “Rivers and Tides” recently. Regarding the fact that Goldsworthy has a very special approach to time and the sequence of natural phenomena resulting from its flow, actually predestines the film to be kind of perfect medium to document the work of the English artist. I love the moment of transience many of his works include. His playful approach towards this issue really reminds me those sophisticated sand mandalas, buddhistic monks create just to destroy them again once they have been finished. It also reminds me the cosmic dance of Shiva, which perfectly represents the way of things in life (even for me as a non-spiritual person). Of course also the organic elegance of Goldworthy’s work is absolutely fascinating. Frequent interview passages in this movie show him to be a very likeable and -surprise, surprise- also very profound and philosophic mind.
“Celebrated Flemish/Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui presents a brand new dance work inspired by the skill, strength and spirituality of Buddhist Shaolin monks. He has collaborated closely with Turner Prize-winning artist Antony Gormley, who has created a design consisting of 21 wooden boxes which are repositioned to create a striking, ever changing on-stage environment. Polish composer Szymon Brzóska has created a beautiful brand new score for piano, percussion and strings which is played live.” By chance I watched the entire show in television a few weeks ago, it is simply fantastic. If you get the chance to watch it on video or even live, go for it!
