performance art

I am increasingly interested in performance art and art that simply blends multiple categories. Nowadays I think it's safe to say that;

• Art is no longer created specifically to be hung on a wall (naturally we have seen different spaces utilized to showcase Art for a while).
• The distinction of disciplines is continuing to diminish even further.
• What Art will continue to be is Expression, whatever way you look at it.

Via MoochMagazine I found Daniel: http://www.danielarsham.com/

From the Moochers: "Daniel Arsham is new type of artist, his work brings together multiple

mediums which include performance, dance, architecture and art. His forms are pure, linear, elegant and, curiously, three-dimensional. Arsham uses illusions to make his masterpieces feel magically alive. Born in 1980 in Cleveland Ohio, USA. Daniel lives and works in New York and Miami."


Other works Daniel has made or worked on in collaboration:

That Daniel is one clever talented cookie also shows in his commercial work. He set up Snarkitecture with Alex Mustonen: 

Snarkitecture is a collaborative practice operating in territories between the disciplines of art and architecture. Working within existing spaces or in collaboration with other artists and designers, the practice focuses on the investigation of structure, material and program and how these elements can be manipulated to serve new and imaginative purposes. Searching for sites within architecture with the possibility for confusion or misuse, Snarkitecture aims to make architecture perform the unexpected.

Snarkitecture was established by Alex Mustonen and Daniel Arsham and is represented by Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin.

on the streets

This week I've been in Melbourne where the eating is fabulous, the company even better and the street art impressive. These are a few of the photos I've taken while there.

checking it all out wearing Oodlies.com shoes.......

our Mooodlies goofballs hanging outside the gallery....





Art lives on the street and breathes.... it lurks and speaks. It giggles and farts. It is loud its is partly hidden. If you look again it may be gone. It comes it goes. It's never for ever.

web we weave

We live

in a world of wonder

joined together by threads

and weaves of light

subparticles, atoms and people

we live to knit thingmies

we aim to write stuffies

and if we're lucky

we get to crochet

some miracles in the process

Fascinating how artist Joanna has strapped these beasties to the wall. they probably come alive at night and kept knocking old Mingh vases off the shelves naughty critters.

Love the blob. Sofffft blobby. Helloooo you blob.

(I talk to everything it might be an undiscovered condition or a Hag thing I'm still unsure.)

About Joanna: "Vasconcelos, who makes large-scale sculptures, is considered by some to be the Louise Bourgeois of Portugal – she lives in Lisbon – and her pièce de résistance of recent shows, including one in Portugal that became the most highly attended exhibition for years – is a piece called A Noiva (The Bride), which, from a distance looks like a large, pendulous chandelier. Only up close does the viewer observe that it is made of thousands of tampons, strung together by a cotton thread and hung from steel cables. Another cracker is a big, circular crocheted work called "Big Booby". (source here)
