Banksy’s work vandalized

I don’t normally post articles, but the irony of this is hilarious. Check here and here. Maybe I will post Banksy tomorrow in honor of the hilarity.

Osang Gwong

Osang Gwong Work from Deodorant Type. Interview with Ju-Hycon Lee here. “Gwon works between the fields of photography and sculpture. The artist plays with representations of reality and truth in both media by creating photographic sculptures and sculptural photographs…Deodorant Type (2005-2006): Here again Gwon subverts preconceptions about representational form.

Richard Barnes

Richard Barnes Work from the series Mumur. Last week at a Thai restaurant, I had a sterling land on my plate of Pad Ga-Proa and eat some of my dinner. Thankfully I had finished, but other diners at the establishment did not share my fortune.  “European starlings have a way of appearing in unexpected places […]

Jeppe Hein

Jeppe Hein Work from Social Bench. You can see a great deal more of Hein’s work here. His work is far more varied than the Social Bench series. “Jeppe Hein’s sculpture and installations explore the relationship between viewer and artwork. Using the minimalist aesthetic of the archetypical cube, Hein’s Shaking Cube is both sculpture and […]

Atelier Van Lieshout

Atelier Van Lieshout Work from Sport Nouveau. “Sport Nouveau was created in the wake of Bad Furniture. This set of sport equipment has been designed with fantastic shapes, elegant forms and a noble character. The machine fits only thin people, preferably wearing silk socks. A heavier human body would break the machines, even with normal […]

This news becomes intrigue; it becomes difficult to […]

Ryan Thayer

Ryan Thayer Work from Ceiling Tile Wall, Untitled (Experience of Place), and IKEA Vattern variations. “Ryan Thayer’s work ranges from architectural installations to photography and sound sculptures.

Through models of consumerism, anonymity, and boredom, he isolates these power structures as […]

JK Keller

JK Keller Works from Tantamount, and Insecurity Envelopes, and A Fictitious Argument Emerges Between Coriolis & Beaufort Work from his massive and thouroughly engaging website. Keller’s work is a collection of pieces  interventions into reality that serve to recontextualize objects, images, and media. Also see his blog. Tantamount: “Photographs of mountains are computationally altered to flatten […]

Mayumi Lake

  Mayumi Lake Work from Poo-Chi. Poo-Chi is a deceptive and hilarious body of work that seemed like the perfect Sunday post. Enjoy. “The images in this book are not what they at first appear to be. Look again, and closely. Mayumi Lake’s series of color photographs focuses on the wakinoshita, presenting this often neglected […]
