christopher willey | asterism

Asterisms are star patterns. Artists Christopher Willey created his asterisms by mapping the freckles and moles of his friends. I find the result quite charming.

Paolo Ventura: Venezia

If you're in NY, I think you should go to see this diorama installation. I would. Good dioramas are fascinating.






His precision dioramas of beautifully dreary, eerily quiet Venetian locales set in the 1930s - somewhat surreal yet nonetheless quite real - are the basis for his exquisite large-scale photographic prints. His craft is impeccable. But there is much more to be felt in these stunning works. – (via Imprint Magazine)

Tiny Showcase.


One of the few newsletters I look forward to every week is the one I get from online print store, Tiny Showcase. I ran across this quote yesterday (I've had it in my Facebook quotes section for yonks) and had to share.

Personally, I think they should sell letterpress prints of their own newsletter copy. It's as good as any of their prints (and that's saying something.)

Jon and Shea, I heart you.

Red Thread Legend Series

The ancient Chinese legend of the red thread tells that when children are born, invisible red threads connect them to the ones whom they are fated to be with. Over the years of their lives they come closer and eventurally find each other, overcoming the distance between, and cultural and social divides.

Red Thread Legend Series is a group of installations inspired by this tale. Lure/Forest is the first project of the series.

The installation makes use of thousands of hand spiraled coils of red thread suspended from the ceiling of the gallery. Each disk is connected to another, as a “couple”, and each pair is made from a single thread. Every coil is pierced in the center by a sewing needle, which enables the suspension of the disks a few inches from the ground. Subtle air currents set the red disks swaying and turning slowly as the loose strands of thread on the floor drift and become entangled.

Like plastic green army men, but better.

I know a few folks who will dig on these. Available at Kid Robot starting 9/15.


Straight out of the South Bronx, Kidrobot’s first series of All City Breakers celebrates the best dance style born from 70’s hip-hop culture. Individually foil-wrapped and blind, each b-boy and b-girl’s punctuated move is captured perfectly in plastic – a stylized freeze. Injection-molded and inspired by the retro but classic green army men and their solid plastic bases, these breakers flaunt moves from Power to Flex in four neon colors: pink, green orange and blue. Each 2-inch art piece is paired with boombox to deliver the beat. No matter what your style, you’re gonna want to choreograph a collection of your own.

Test 2

Doing a little troubleshooting here. Pay it no mind.

Radioactive Control by luzinterruptus.

This must have been SUCH an amazing, eerie installation.





The installation Radioactive Control was created for the Dockville Festival in de Hamburg which tried to demonstrate, in a humorous tone, the paranoia that we are suffering from since the escape of radioactive material in Japan, has brought into question the safety systems at the nuclear power plants.

With our mysterious army of 100 illuminated radioactive figures, which advanced threateningly on the natural environment of the festival, we wanted to invite reflection regarding the use and abuse of nuclear energy, cheap in economic terms, but which can cause grave secondary effects for the environment and health, forever irreversible.

Big yellow Rabbit.




constructed out of locally-manufactured shingles and a wooden armature, the temporary sculpture depicts a giant plush rabbit that has been seemingly dropped into the center of the swedish plaza.the large-scale intervention rests against the engelbrekt monument, the original pivot point of the open site. observers are encouraged to experience the public space within the new context of the rabbit as well as when the presence of the sculpture is gone.

as with his previous work, [florentijn] hofman's sculpture involved the locals with more than 25 volunteers and craftsman coming together to construct the rabbit.
