Our favorite crocheting street artist, Olek was back hard at work over the weekend. In a similar vane of covering the Wall Street bull, her latest piece sits at the heart of Astor Place as a cover on the rotating cube sculpture.

Otone recently put up this piece in Barcelona, as a part of the Converse “Wall to Wall” campaign. More looks after the jump.

4th dimension concrete clock uses a three dimensional clock face to allow for a unique aesthetic, as the hands pass over it. The design is described as:

A wall clock made of one solid piece from cement. Concept of linking time and space is visualized with the form of a spiral staircase that has hands on its top level continuously going down and up as time goes by. Thus, the “4th” dimension. Light and shadow also changes with time in this clock.

Rankin and Damien Hirst Present

Myths, Monsters & Legends

Long-term friends, Rankin and artist Damien Hirst, leverage their respective creative mediums and shared dark wit in a project born out of a joint fascination with the ancient world, and an interest in contextualising it in a modern environment.

Model, Dani Smith, was the inspiration in bringing their shared vision to life.

The project is an exploration of imagined narratives and monsters of past civilizations, viewed through a modern lens.
