resurrection

Lotus flowers grow from the impure mud to reach for the light and bloom to the rise and fall of the sun; in Asia, it bears various cultural symbolisms such as prospects and rebirth. It is also known for its purifying function. The presence of the artist in the heart of such flower is meant to convey her personal experience. “I was born again by overcoming negative elements that had dragged me down and cleansed myself emotionally. The figure within a lotus blooming implies a stronger self who was just born again and is facing a new world”. It is this is very moment when one reaches maturity and full-potential that Lee illustrates in “Resurrection”, and, more generally speaking, throughout the entirety of her corpus.

John Tavener

We shall see Him as He is
”Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is”. the First Epistle of St John, Chapter 3 verse 2
Tavener converted to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977.[13] Orthodox theology and liturgical traditions became a major influence on his work. He was particularly drawn to its mysticism, studying and setting to music the writings of Church Fathers and completing a setting of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the principal eucharistic liturgy of the Orthodox Church: this was Tavener’s first directly Orthodox-inspired music

ÖYVIND FAHLSTRÖM

The Little General Pinball Machine
“One of the most memorable pieces in the 1997 Documenta X was Öyvind Fahlström’s The Little General (Pinball Machine), 1967. Resembling a raised indoor swimming pool with some two dozen movable parts spread out across its shimmering Plexiglas surface, the thirty-year-old “variable” sculpture radiated a visual audacity that made much of the current work around it pale by comparison. Ersatz scoring cues brushed up against cutouts of historical and pop-culture figures, who in turn seemed to jostle dismembered cartoon limbs and partial anatomies. The cumulative effect was dizzying, as if news, commercials, and cartoons were being broadcast in one overpowering barrage.”Dan Cameron

Schnittstelle
Schnittstelle I untersucht die Grenze zwischen zwei interagierenden Systemen, die in das Physische übertragen werden. Jedes System besteht aus Motoren, Saiten und Gummibändern, die horizontal angeordnet sind. Die beiden Einheiten stehen sich vertikal gegenüber (eine oben, eine unten). Jeder Motor einer Ebene (oben, unten) ist mit einer Schnur mit seinem Gegner verbunden und trifft sich in der Mitte. Beide Motoren ziehen ihre Schnur in die entgegengesetzte Richtung (wie bei einem Tauziehen). An der Verbindungsstelle der Saiten verbindet ein Netz aus Gummibändern die Saite mit ihren Nachbarn. Das Netz koppelt jedes Element mit seinen umgebenden Elementen, um ein lokales emergentes Verhalten zu erreichen.

Olafur Eliasson

Orizzonti Tremanti
Olafur Eliasson transformeert de Manica Lunga met een nieuwe serie van zes meeslepende kunstwerken die lijken op wigvormige optische apparaten. Binnen elke installatie worden complexe vloeiende vormen in beweging gezien die een panoramische ruimte van 360 graden doorkruisen die breder lijkt dan fysiek mogelijk is. Dit zijn optische illusies die worden geproduceerd dankzij spiegels en lichtprojecties.

MARK JEFFERY AND JUDD MORRISSEY

The Precession 2011
via highlike submit

Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery are a collaboration merging live art and digital literary practices. The work, which is visual, textual and choreographic, evolves through context-specific research and practice and always considers the constraints of a given venue or occasion. Site responsive considerations include the performance/exhibition space as well as the local community and online textual activity happening within the locale. A given piece is a body of material that may have no singular fixed form but is alternately presented as internet art, durational live installation, an ongoing activity, or a performance of fixed length.

“The first threads of inspiration came from the Spanish neuroanatomist Ramón y Cajal. He wanted to uncover something that no one had yet understood.
Sensory seas’ holds a microscope over the indelible nuances between the anthropology of a marine organism, to the role of dendrites and synapses delivering infinite signals throughout our bodies. It enchants the attention of how two processes of torrential messaging exist in an uninterrupted state of flux. The collection consists 21 silhouettes that illustrate a portrait of liquid labyrinths, where dresses spill onto the floor in elegant train and pigments gather in cloudedpools of blues and lilac, leaking into one another like marble.” Joanna Klein

Marleen Sleeuwits

Marleen Sleeuwits is particularly interested in the illusory character of depicted spaces. Or to put it more precisely: in and with her work she creates situations in which the viewer is confused by a realistic looking rendering of a space which is in itself entirely artificial.

ソニックウォーター
ソニックウォーターはサイマティックスのインスタレーションです。
サイマティクスは、砂や水などの物質を通してや振動を視覚化するプロセスです。最初は音がしました cymaticsがそのような強い魅力を発揮する理由は、私たちが「音を見る」ように条件付けられていないからです。 Cymaticsは、聞こえるものの本質を明らかにする魔法の道具のようなものですが、通常は見えません。それを使えば、さまざまな形の自然の原型を再現することができます。ですから、音には形があり、サイマティックスはそれが物質に影響を与えるだけでなく、形を引き起こすことを理解することを可能にします。実際、私たちは音が宇宙自体の形成に根本的な影響を及ぼしたと考えています。しかし、それは別の話です。主に、私たちはこの主題の単純さに魅了されています。必要なのは、音と、水などの非常に基本的な媒体を作成することだけです…まあ、最もクールなサウンドビジュアライザーになる可能性があります(そして私たちの見解では)。

Leonardo Drew

Но то, что поначалу казалось безопасным и немного анахроничным, теперь кажется пророческим: наши скульпторы «постмодернизма» все больше и больше углубляются в язык, характерный для других десятилетий. Эрик Фишль продолжает драму Огюста Родена со своей скульптурной группой «Десять дыханий», например, а Чарльз Рэй расширяет картину Жана-Антуана Гудона своим дебютным в Венеции «Мальчик с лягушкой». Точечное искусство, которое было постминималистическим в 70-х, теперь снова появляется под новым брендом как искусство инсталляции. Это новое отношение кардинально изменило намерения постмодернистской иронии, когда прошлые традиции были взяты на образцы и вырваны из контекста, как правило, для насмешек. В отличие от постмодерна, он восхищается эстетикой, которая была до него, и поэтому чувствительность Леонардо Дрю, кажется, догнала настоящее.

Gorgeous : In the neck of time
The idea of making tilt-up portraits came to me as a consequence of a low-angle auto portrait shot as I was happened to learn singing techniques, and a visit to the Erechteion temple in Athens. Originally, I had taken this autoportrait to get a visual understanding of the throat* role in the body mecanism when you need to produce a sound. It conjured up in me the intimate feel and the sensuality of a woman’s neck, violently challenged by the potent, erect jaw.
