Say aaaaah: Olympia yawns


olympia scarry sounds like a good title for this one but it’s actually the name of the swiss artist behind this classic bust. reminds me of the mad busts done by this 18th century artist, but just not as good. i can’t remember his name for the life of me, some german/spanish mix of a name.  he did a series of classic busts with everyone making insane faces. a good twist on your boring everyday alabaster. by dd

another mind blow by swiss artist urs fischer. this time in LA at MOCA, this satelite show to his main retrospective involved 1500 volunteers in a spectrum of ages and specialties. an experience of the raw, the forces of nature and time, and above all, freedom of mind. not for everyone, but i hope you got your chance to experience as i was so dazed by the experience it is not long gone. by kl

the location makes the shot

funny post on jalouse magazine blog about a photoshoot story out in their summer issue, shot at the exact same place venetia scott shot the paul ka latest ads. they mention that it was shot at the same time in a factory outside of paris so there is no rip off here, only coincidence. sometimes the location makes the shot… well, and the model too. styled by anna quérouil. by pp
