Up there
Posted on 20/07/10.
Shot high above the streets of New York City, UP THERE reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the in-told story of the painters struggling to keep it alive. Capturing a trade that is equal parts artistic precision and grueling labor, the film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction. UP THERE is directed by Malcolm Murray, based on an original concept by Mother. It is produced by Mekanism with music by the Album Leaf.

Subtitled “A Short unscientific study about evolution and his consequences”, this ambitious 9 minute stop-motion animation nearly blew our minds first thing this morning. Incredible.

Jürgen Bergbauer
Posted on 24/06/10.
Studien nach der Natur (Studies After Nature) by German artist Bergbauer is an archive of 665 photographs of 152 different rock forms that were found at the roadside. Bergbauer photographed them from various perspectives and arranged them, by “form and applicability.” Each of the plates are presented on solid off white backgrounds and are based on the compositional criteria of the form of the object and positioning of the objects within Bergbauer’s defined space.

Carly Waito

Waito’s small oil paintings on masonite, measuring roughly 5x6 inches, of crystals and minerals are absolutely stunning. The renderings demand a double take to see if they are photos because of the meticulous detail and depth of field. These are from the series “Little Crowns” shown at Narwhal Art Projects in Toronto last year.

Raw Color
Posted on 14/06/10.
An absolutely amazing project, Raw Color is a collaboration between designers Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar in Holland. They dismantle and purify vegetables to their visual essence ‘raw color’. The harvested color is captured by a new process preserving their intensity on color cards. Categorized by shades and families a new map is created which shows their beautiful diversity. This projects reinterprets the vegetable and puts it into new context.

We don’t know much about Jan Maarten Voskuil, other than he is Dutch, and we love this series of work “There is no point”.
