TURNING THE PLACE OVER

By Richard Wilson. “The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK” – www.biennial.com

Love this. You can see my (quite rubbish) phone video HERE or an ‘official’ one HERE.

Why can’t every city have something like this? Go and have a look if you’re around in Liverpool, it’s well worth it.

And because no one likes a ‘text only’ blog:

BLDGBLOG

Just a quick post to highlight a great blog!

I was made aware thanks to my good pal Sarah Smizz.

We’re hatching a plan for city wide domination! Not really, but we are pulling together a great proposal for an exhibition that will *hopefully* be in Manchester. If not, probably Sheffield. We’re very excited!

But what the hell has this got to do with BLDGBLOG? Well, everyone is inspired by something. So, thanks BLDGBLOG – you’re an inspiration!

Jacob De Graaf

Enjoying the work of Jacob De Graf at the minute. I saw his work in issue 10 of ArtBox.

Particularly his older pieces – architectural paintings of small homes in mostly nocturnal landscapes. His more recent work is concentrated on form and composition rather than feelings/mood.

I love that De Graaf explores the idea of psychogeography of the home in a 2D format rather than 3D/installation.

3RD I

3rd-I

I wish I could be at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo but alas, I can’t. In person. But I could be telepresent; that is, to give the appearance that I’m present or have an effect at a location other than the one I’m physically in. This is no new concept, but it is an integral part of an exhibition at the Expo by Graham Smith and Christina Smith of Cybercity Ruhr.

The exhibition allows for robots to be manually controlled and manoeuvred through tiny streets. They can be controlled ‘locally’, over a game step pad, or ‘world wide’, over the internet. This enables the viewer to explore the environment as a pedestrian would, without actually being there.

Generally, the exhibition explores urbanism, spatial needs, interactivity with urban and built environments, identity and cultural exchange. But personally, ides of community, isolation and alienation are key.

For more info have a look HERE.
