just some things i have come across

Unknown

It’s blood.  NYC artist, Jordan Eagles, works solely with gallons upon gallons of blood obtained from a slaughterhouse.  By manipulating the blood through heating, burning, aging, mixing with copper, adding foreign materials, and then encasing it in plexiglass and UV resin, Jordan is able to capture an array of organic designs.  His large pieces are uncomfortably beautiful, especially when lit, the blood seems to glow against the clean white walls of a gallery.

 

“Arrivals and Departures” is an installation by Michael Fernandes at Scotiabank Nuit Blanche in Toronto, an all-night contemporary art event held earlier this month. First photo by Sam Javanrouh.

Exhibition instillation part three

Finished wall piece today so all that needs to be done is to edit and print out A3 photo and mount it then place QR codes around the exhibition space one everyone has there work installed so that it does not inter-fear with anyone else's work.

Exhibition instillation part two

Did an 8 hour day in the studio working on my exhibition piece, pretty much got all the QR code aspect completed so that i can start working on the text and Morse Code tomorrow. this will hopefully be done tomorrow so that i can then start taking some photos to edit for the photographic aspect of the piece. have printed off all of the 3 QR codes which will be placed all around the exhibition.

Ron Mueck Drift, 2009 Mixed media

Because he never fails to surprise me with his imaginative scenarios and unbelievable skill.

Mueck’s ‘Drift’ is a small-scale sculpture of a lightly tanned man sporting tropical swim shorts and dark sunglasses, lying on a lilo with his arms outstretched. Instead of floating in a swimming pool, ‘Drift’ is installed high on the gallery wall, seeming to disappear off into the distance. Held up only by a puff of air and a sheet of plastic, the precariousness of ‘Drift’ provokes questions of the brevity of life. Like many of Mueck’s works, both ‘Youth’ and ‘Drift’ tap into powerful and universal emotional states, enabling the viewers to create their own narratives.
