“Cloud Cities” installation by Thomás Sarceno. Installed inside an old train station, and is now a contemporary art museum in Berlin, the immersive and surprising work combines ideas about bubbles and spider webs in ways that seem oddly reconciled within the former concourse. Even though the installation is very real (you can go and visit the bubbles, even poke around inside a few if you’d like) there is something about all of it that seems so far removed from reality. Maybe not surprising since the curatorial text describes an exhibition that will “shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture.” Even untraditional ideas about what constitutes architecture are probably challenged by this installation, assuming it’s architectural enough to do so.

EVOL is a German artist who got famous by this cool power boxes that he transforms into apartment blocks( in effect to create miniature cities). Recently he was asked to create an installation in a place that’s almost the opposite of his normal streetenvironment… an open grassfield. Instead of building something on the land, he decided to build in the earth itself. He created an X shape installation, that allowed him to create his own city in the land that viewers can walk amongst.

“Smoking kids” a beautiful serie by Frieke Janssens.

artist Frieke Janssens has garnered much press for her fine art series, “Smoking Kids,” – currently on view through July 30, the Ingrid Deuss Gallery, in Antwerp, Belgium.

A YouTube video of a chainsmoking Indonesian toddler inspired her to create her series, “Smoking Kids”. The video highlighted the cultural differences between the east and west, and questioned notions of smoking being a mainly adult activity.

Adult smokers are the societal norm, so Frieke wanted to isolate her viewer’s focus upon the issue of smoking itself. She felt that children smoking would have a surreal impact upon the viewer and compel them to truly see the acts of smoking rather than making assumptions about the person doing the act.

Really neat work by Martí Guixé.Proposals that lie within food, design and art. Food that mimics the shape of its container, cookies with indications of how to bite them, bottles with edible corks, and other projects that involve that you “make them disappear through ingestion”

Jose Lerma is a Spanish artist living in NY .Jose Lerma’s work relies on a compendium of mediums, references, and elements that combine his personal history and his extensive academic accolades to his awareness of social history.  I just think it’s a neat idea of doing a gallery exhibit with all of the art on the floors and none on the walls.

“Color flowers” by Ela Zubrowska. Really beautiful and abstract work, with a mysterious mood. Really neat.

“Untitled (Hello World)” by Austrian artist Valentin Ruhry. It’s made of a huge board with a lot of switches. You can leave a personal message, or a make light art ! I just want one !
