I just came across this amazing Light Carpet by Finnish architect and artist Johanna Hyrkäs. Light Carpet is made up of a light rope that is enclosed in a crochet cording. You can see more of her work including more Light Carpets at here website.
This piece was part of a design exhibition titled Extremely White, which was organized by Otro Diseno which is located in Amsterdam, but specializes in Latin American design.
Ovation TV has a new program called Art or Not. I do not have this channel, but was pleased to see that they have many video clips available on their website. I wish there was more programming like this available on a regular basis.
The Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia is having an exhibition titled "Crimes of Omission". The show is on view in their Project Space from April 20- August 5, 2007.The title of this exhibition "refers to artistic strategies that remove visual traces of a crime or draw attention to injustices that typically go unnoticed." Included in this show are an interesting series of knitted works called "Knitted Homes of Crime" by Freddie Robins. I really am inspired by all the uses of fiber in contemporary art today. via
I was looking at the Modern Contemporary Art blog today and came across the artwork of Colwyn Griffith.
Griffith creates these diorama like installations and then photographs them. I especially like his I Can’t Believe It’s Not Empire series where he "investigates the multifarious nature of empire" by "blend(ing) domestic craft, sculpture and architectural set design with heavily processed, multinational-produced junk foods to emphasize a new empirical reality of corporate colonization."
Pictured at the right is his Great Wall, 2004 which is made of rice cereal.
