ever after- nick cave

“i want to provide transitional experiences…a moment of silence, and at the same time asking, ‘come out with me and play'”– nick cave

reminded of his solo exhibition ‘ever after’, at the jack shainman gallery in chelsea nyc. ‘mating season’ is an encounter of white haired, boyish bunny figures suggesting a sublime play of fornication, placed in multiple positions. by am

Demain est un Autre Jour – par Mathieu Lehanneur

mathieu lehanneur‘s tomorrow is another day (demain est un autre jour), is a sculpture created by gathering real time weather information from the internet, and summarizing it visually. originally intended for a hospital palliative care, the device eludes the course of time by offering everyone the opportunity to see tomorrow’s sky. the luminous, atmospheric and impressionist image of this sky is diffused through the network of a honeycomb structure, appearing both like a sculpture and a celestial globe. mathieu is an artist and designer, and you can see more if his work here by kl

art is in the air

along with a 68 degree debut to spring, the 2012 armory show is starting today and all the artsy ones are meeting up in piers 92& 94 through this sunday. although i am impatiently waiting for the frieze art fair (only because it’s outdoors in the sweet may sun) i am looking forward to see what the 14th edition of armory show has to offer, as it’s a great event to find out about new artists, and see new works by the ones we already know and love. 133 international exhibitors are featured in the fair, including names like ai weiwei represented by gallery hyundai. the photo is from 2011 armory show, a work by daniel arsham. by ak
