Very impressed by this particular installation by Jennifer Steinkamp – it really looks meditative, even in the video. If I have the chance, I will visit one of her exihibitions/installations!

Giant zipper art installation by Japanese artist Jun Kitagawa puts zippers across locations like ponds, roads and floors. Placed at such curious locations, the zippers open slightly to give the inquiring person a view of what lies underneath.

Trippy! French designer Arnaud Lapierre once created ‘ring’, a series of mirrored cubes placed in a circular pattern in collaboration with AUDI.

“I don’t want to explain to somebody what pollen is. … That is the secret and the beauty and the power and the potential of all this.” —Wolfgang Laib
In this week’s Season 7 preview, artist Wolfgang Laib discusses his interest in pollen, while shown installing Pollen from Hazelnut (2013) at the Museum of Modern Art in 2013—sifting hazelnut pollen collected by the artist since the mid-1990s.

I found this art piece to be so beautiful. This is the Artignale in Venice. “The Key in Hand” by Japanese artist chiharu shiota comprises more than 50,000 keys hanging from a cloud of tightly interwoven string.
The installation seeks to explore the notion of memory, using tens of thousands of keys collected from people across the globe in its realization. ‘Keys are familiar and very valuable things that protect important people and spaces in our lives. they also inspire us to open the door to unknown worlds’ Shiota explains.

hans haacke - condensation cube, 1963-5
“I have partially filled Plexiglas containers of a simple stereometric form with water and have sealed them. The intrusion of light warms the inside of the boxes. Since the inside temperature is always higher that the surrounding temperature, the water enclosed condenses: a delicate veil of drops begins to develop on the inside walls.
At first they are so small that one can distinguish single drops from only a very close distance. The drops grow, hour by hour, small ones combine with larger ones. The speed of growth depends on the intensity and the angle of the intruding light. After a day, a dense cover of clearly defined drops has developed and they all reflect light. With continuing condensation, some drops reach such a size that their weight overcomes the forces of adhesion and they run down along the walls, leaving the trace. This trace starts to grow together again. Weeks after, manifold traces, running side by side, have developed. According to their respective age, they have drops of varying sizes. The process of condensation does not end.
The box has a constantly but slowly changing appearance that never repeats itself. The conditions are comparable to a living organism that reacts in a flexible manner to its surroundings. The image of condensation cannot be precisely predicted. It is changing freely, bound only by statistical limits. I like this freedom.”
To commemorate the violence against LGBTQ members, Pride Shield created a bulletproof rainbow flag. The thematic installation is made up 193 pride flags, one for every country in the world. When positioned together, they defy bullets, which aims to encourage the importance of togetherness. (Source)

“An aquarium hangs from the ceiling. I light the aquarium with the light of a mercury lamp, and shine the shadows of the ripples in the water onto a white floor. In this way one has the impression that the floor is covered in water around twenty centimeters deep. Visitors can dip their feet into this imaginary water.
Water drips into the aquarium from a device above it. Sometimes the drops fall randomly like raindrops. Sometimes they fall around and around, like playing tag. Sometimes the drops fall all at once, and the ripples make geometrical patterns like flowers.”
Photos from my summer installation. It’s taken a while to get all the pictures processed;
With that, I have an announcement! I have a new portfolio website. The address is the same (www.myousa.net) but it’s been completely overturned.
Therefore: Go HERE to see more photos from this installation! And have a look around the new site!
