Sisyphus
Sisyphus est une installation d’art robotique qui présente deux robots engagés dans un mécanisme cyclique sans fin. Une équipe de petits robots continue de construire des arches en briques tandis qu’un robot géant les pousse vers le bas. Les systèmes robotiques propulsent un récit de construction et de déconstruction.
CONTRAPTION PAINTING MACHINE
françois xavier saint-georges
Assembled from chinese brushes and medical equipment, the low-tech automata creates ‘endless line’ ink paintings. Created by canadian designer François Xavier Saint Georges, ‘contraption’ is an autonomous painting machine, capable of creating a ‘never-ending line’ of paint. The low-tech device is composed of medical equipment like syringes and tubing, chinese brushes, and paper with an electric motor, that together continuously run a roll of paper along the wall, to be ‘painted’ upon by ink pumped into the set of brushes. Random variations in the ink’s consistency and viscosity at a given moment produce different effects on the paper, and different colours can be fed into the unit or layered on top of previous ‘paintings’. We will show you more projects from this guy, so if you like it you will see more about him. Enjoy it!

“I am interested in the moment that stretches from “now” to the future. The interweaving web of images and possibilities connecting our world and the parallel. The trails of the heavy scent left from this point to tomorrow and right next to it. . New life. Post-apocalypse. Growth. The descent. Love. Arsenic. Candies. And everything vibrating in between.”

Sanja Marusic
Dutch-Croatian photographer Sanja Marušić uses an experimental approach to colour, composition, materials, and manipulations in her work to create dreamlike scenes that are at once cinematic and alienating.She travels the world in her production of these otherworldly images, finding settings and forms that play with our relation to the subconscious, simplifying the bodies of her subjects with geometric shapes, and abstracting the human form even further by incorporating stylised dance movements.Putting places above people, many of Sanja’s photographs are set in wide open futuristic spaces in an attempt to create surreal and alienating visual emotions. She often uses cool and bright colours as well as singular objects and accessories in order to create unique and enigmatic narratives.

Floating Point Waves
Floating Point Waves is an environment of strings, water, solo performance, real-time video, and live electronic music that unveils the relationship between the human body and natural elements. Movement, water, and light respond to one another as an organic causal chain unfolds, echoing that of our own natural world. Startling performance and exquisite design reverberate through the space, framing a landscape where beauty coexists with darkness.

Arcelor Mittal Orbit
Award winning London-based artist Anish Kapoor has been given the commission of a lifetime to design the spectacular new public attraction in the Olympic Park. The stunning artwork, to be entitled ‘The ArcelorMittal Orbit’, will ensure the Park remains an unrivalled visitor destination following the 2012 Games, providing the key Olympic legacy Mayor of London Boris Johnson envisaged for the East End.The breathtaking sculpture – thought to be the tallest in the UK – will consist of a continuous looping lattice of tubular steel. Standing at a gigantic 115m, it will be 22m taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York and offer unparalleled views of the entire 250 acres of the Olympic Park and London’s skyline from a special viewing platform. Visitors will be able to take a trip up the statuesque structure in a huge lift and will have the option of walking down the spiralling staircase.One of the world’s most distinguished contemporary artists, Turner Prize winning Anish Kapoor studied in London, where he is now based. He is well known for his use of rich pigment and imposing, yet popular works, such as the vast, fleshy and trumpet-like Marsyas, which filled the Tate’s Turbine Hall as part of the Unilever Series, the giant reflecting, pod like sculpture Cloud Gate in Chicago’s Millennium Park and his recent record breaking show at the Royal Academy, the most successful exhibition ever presented by a contemporary artist in London.

À mesure que les choses deviennent plus intelligentes et connectées, leur rôle dans la vie des gens est remis en question. Les choses se rapprochent de plus en plus de nous, finissant par devenir elles-mêmes des «utilisateurs». Comment comprendrons-nous les besoins et les perspectives des objets et comment les concevoirons-nous?

Bent Pool
German artists Elmgreen and Dragset have installed a sculpture that looks like an U-shaped swimming pool outside the Miami Beach Convention Center[…] Curved pieces of aluminium were used to create the unusual structure, with the two ends resting atop a concrete plinth. “Bent Pool is shaped like an inverted “U” and stands upright on a two-tier plinth,” the studio said. “The pool seems to have somehow been lifted out of the ground and stretched into a curved form.”

„Mode ist für mich ein Ausdruck von Kunst, der sehr eng mit mir und meinem Körper verbunden ist.
Ich sehe es als Ausdruck meiner Identität, kombiniert mit Verlangen, Stimmungen und kulturellem Umfeld.
In all meinen Arbeiten versuche ich klar zu machen, dass Mode ein künstlerischer Ausdruck ist, Kunst zeigt und trägt und nicht nur ein funktionales und ohne Inhalt oder kommerzielles Werkzeug. Mit meiner Arbeit möchte ich zeigen, dass Mode sicherlich einen Mehrwert für die Welt haben kann, dass sie zeitlos sein kann und dass ihr Konsum weniger wichtig sein kann als ihr Anfang. Das Tragen von Kleidung schafft eine aufregende und zwingende Form des Selbstausdrucks. “Form folgt Funktion” ist kein Slogan, dem ich zustimme. Im Gegenteil, ich finde, dass Formen den Körper und damit die Emotionen ergänzen und verändern. Bewegung, die für und im Körper so wichtig ist, ist in meiner Arbeit genauso wichtig. Indem ich Form, Struktur und Materialien auf neue Weise zusammenbringe, versuche ich, optimale Spannung und Bewegung vorzuschlagen und zu realisieren. “
Thomas Zipp
POLYMORPHOUS ORATORY
Thomas Zipp (geboren in Heppenheim, 1966) gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Künstlern der Gegenwart. Ausgebildet als Maler fasst er seine Einzelwerke, bestehend aus Gemälden, Skulpturen, Grafiken und installativen Arbeiten, immer zu einem Gesamtkonzept zusammen, das die Räume des Ausstellungsortes vollends einbezieht. Durch diese Arbeitsweise verleiht Zipp seinen Ausstellungskonzepten eine einzigartige, unwiederholbare Existenz.
Zipps Werke sind geprägt von einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit Geschichte, Wissenschaft und Religion, mit Politik und Gesellschaft sowie mit Kunstgeschichte und Philosophie. Hierbei spielen für ihn die Einordnung des Selbst in die Gesellschaft, der Antagonismus im Sinne sich polar gegenüberstehender Widersprüche sowie die Folgen aus historischen, wissenschaftlichen und religiösen Errungenschaften und Ereignissen eine zentrale Rolle.

The base of the installation consists of layers of white stones which fill the ancient palace’s courtyard, echoing peaceful, meditative gardens. On top of the stones are piles or gatherings of petri dishes, some ten thousand in total, stacked in various forms, resembling miniature hills, mountains and rock formations.

“I see sculpture as an ongoing dialogue between many things. Material, form, substance, light / shadow, time / space & content. Sculpture is curiosity made visible in three dimensions…with additional dimension or two added to it. The dimension of time, and one of imagination.”

Lola, who defines herself as a collage artist and illustrator, caused a big buzz with her recent works that could be defined as kaleidoscope explosion portraits. One cannot but simply admire her remarkable technique and the meticulous working process that lies behind the dazzling optical illusions that she creates. Moreover, what we love about her works is that despite the ”explosive” treatment that Lola Dupré puts the original portraits through, the final result is equally, or even more, dynamic and complex.
