Porcelain Sculpture by Kate MacDowell

indexmice 540x405 Porcelain Sculpture by Kate MacDowell

In addition to being strikingly beautiful, Kate MacDowell’s work is subversively thought provoking. In her artist’s statement MacDowell writes:

n my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment.  These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops.  They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones.  In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world.  In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats.  In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices

g1 540x348 Guns | Sculpture installation by David Cerny

David Cerny brings out the big guns with this installation in Prague.

Czech artist David Černý’s ‘Guns’ installation returned to Prague this summer where it is suspended by wires in the courtyard of the Artbanka Museum of Young Art. Earlier in the summer between June 20 and July 1, Černý’s ‘Pink Tank no. 23′ was installed on a floating pontoon on the Vltava river between Střelecký ostrov and Smetanovo nábřeží as part of the ‘Week of Freedom’ project. In a photo dated October 8, 2011, a visitor to the Artbanka Museum hoists his hands up and makes his own guns.

Preview | Love Me + Skullphone at Mallick Williams

6ca549637723cecb3a5af27eae4697b7 540x360 Preview | Love Me + Skullphone at Mallick Williams

New York’s Curtis Kuilig, better known as “Love Me” is opening a joint installation with L.A.’s SKULLPHONE, this evening at Mallick Williams. The collection is entitled “Scripture.”

Curtis Kulig decamped to New York where he splatters the words “LOVE ME” across the city’s sprawl. Shouting from dripping red rooftop rollers to a uniform sticky message reigning over the cityscape… is his message an honest plea, or just a self-conscious hypocritical statement that is filled with self-doubt? Inverting the I heart NY slogan to the most basic of human desires, “LOVE ME” is becoming a New York icon by being virtually everywhere you turn; confronting onlookers with their most primitive human needs when they least expect it.

Best known for his witty black-and-white image of a skull holding a cell phone, Skullphone began installing artwork on city streets in 1999. In addition to his overlapping appropriation outdoors – reworking, enlarging, and repeating imagery – Skullphone’s oeuvre has expanded through calculated re-contextualization indoors. His new work examines contradictions in digital media, demonstrating cause for both wonder and concern over the increasingly ubiquitous medium. Skullphone has recently shown at Subliminal Projects, New Image Art Gallery, the Riverside Art Museum, and was featured in MOCA’s 2009 FRESH Auction.

“Scripture”

Mallick Williams & Co. Gallery 150 11th Avenue, NYC

From October 6th to November 6th

4th dimension clock 22 design studio concrete gselect PD 01 LRG 471x540 4th Dimension Concrete Clock

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.

David Clarke | “Dead on Arrival”

29 September 2011, 10.52 | Posted in Art, Design, sculpture | 4 comments »

deadonarrivalbowl 540x375 David Clarke | Dead on Arrival

Clarke is easily the most prominent avant-garde figure in the area of silversmithing here in the UK and has a well earned reputation for creative thinking and innovation.

Clarke now devilishly takes antique solid silver objects, treasured by many and preserved by museums and ‘messes’ with them. Clarke strips it of its value by allowing lead to erode the silver.

The first in a new collection entitled “Dead on Arrival.” will definitely take the world of silversmithing to a new level.

New work for 60|40 exhibition at Gustavsberg Konsthall Sweden. Opens 8 October until 8 January 2012.
