Those pesky NYC artists are making us think again. This sculptural expression created by Jeremy Dean very literally juxtaposes the old and the new. In the spirit of eco-statements, I would have preferred that a totalled Hummer went into the project rather than a perfectly functional (albeit gas guzzling) automobile. Waste not, want not applies to artists too.
Some people recycle their tires, Ji Yong Ho turns them into art. Check out the Theme Magazine interview with Ji & the high res photos of his work courtesy of Autoblog.
NuFormer Digital Media has created some very cool 3D video mapping projections. The projections are custom-made to fit any building and are created by a “battery of powerful projectors”. With this technology at hand advertisers will be frothing to convert cities, towns and even villages to something reminiscent of Times Square .
After a minimal amount of investigating I was able to locate the artist responsible for a handful of album art I was particularly fond of. Jeremy Fish has a unique approach to art that cries old west but remains very relevant. This unique vision combined with the high volume of work he is producing is bound to continue getting the art worlds attention.
Zeger Reyer’s installation “The Rotating Kitchen” began slowly rotating at the December opening of the “Eating the Universe” exhibtion at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf in Germany. The piece will continue rotating until February 29th, 2010. I have a feeling this was most interesting on day one the first time it turned over.
The Exploration and application of media has always been what interested me most about art. Artist Meredith Dittmar has one of those style/medium combos that immediately drew my attention. Check out her Fecal Face interview Here >.
Recently my good friend Matt Hebermehl inadvertently turned me on to the work of David Ellis. Ellis’ work is described as follows on his website:
Ellis’ paintings are frequently improvised. He works directly on the walls of spaces that remain open to the public during installation and shares the making of the work with viewers. The experience is much like a band playing in front of a passing audience.
It’s been a while since this new form of street art by Joshua Allen Harris made it’s debut on the streets of New York City. But the allure hasn’t faded. Harris continues to produce extremely interesting work that shows up serendipitously around the city that never sleeps. I am still hoping for a King Kong tribute that harnesses one of the massive AC/Ventilation units atop so many of New Yorks skyscrapers.
