Proyecto que analiza el proceso de transformación en un periodo de 20 años (desde 1089, la caida del telón de acero, hasta 2009) de varios paises en relación a la práctica artística y los cambios sociales. Relacionan historicidad tradicional (sentido pasivo del tiempo histórico) y con el "tiempo a escala humana" en un intento de reformular pasado presente y futuro. Interesante publicación "Altas to transformation" glosario de términos descritos en textos y diagramas. Iniciators: Zbyněk Baladrán, Vít Havránek | cooperation: Věra Krejčová. República Checa.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Freundinnen und Freunde der Galerie, sehnen auch Sie den Frühling herbei? Dann wird die farbenkräftige Ausstellung in der [galerie.bruehl] auch Sie in hren Bann ziehen. Herzlichen laden wir Sie ein zur Ausstellung PengZackBumm mit Malerei der Kölner Künstlerin Sabine Tress am Sonntag, 20. Februar 2011, 15:00 Uhr, in die [galerie.bruehl], Uhlstraße 2, 50321 Brühl (in der Fußgängerzone, direkt am Rathaus) Die Ausstellung wird bis 1. April 2011 zu folgenden Öffnungszeiten zu sehen sein: montags bis freitags 10:00 bis 13:00 Uhr sowie 14:00 bis 18:00 Uhr, samstags 11:00 bis 14:00 Uhr. Während der Karnevalstage 3. bis 7. März 2011 ist die Galerie geschlossen. Zur Ausstellung: Sabine Tress macht Bilder. Ihr Werkprozess ist spontan, spannungsgeladen, eruptiv, ebenso überlegt wie intuitiv - „PengZackBumm" eben. Ihre Bildtafeln bilden nichts (oder nur höchst selten etwas) ab. Vielmehr stellen sie die Malerei selbst in den Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Themen sind das Wachsen und Werden, das Schichten, Überlagern, Sich-Ergänzen und Verdrängen. Bereits vorhandene Farbflächen überdeckt Sabine Tress bis zur Unkenntlichkeit, andere verschleiert sie so verführerisch und hauchzart, dass man um so neugieriger wird auf das immer noch offenkundige Darunter. Stets lässt Sabine Tress den Betrachter an ihren Expeditionen ins Reich der malerischen Möglichkeiten teilhaben. Es geht um Gewicht, Sinnlichkeit und Variantenreichtum von Form, Farbe und Fläche. Was ist es, das die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters auf sich zieht? Sind es die massigen Farbkrusten, die so auffällig mäandernden Rinnsale oder doch eher die Zuckerwatte-leichten Spraydosen-Spots, die so sehr an ihre Ursprünge in der Street-Art erinnern? Ist es gar das wohlüberlegte Zusammenspiel all dieser Kräfte? Auch wenn es nur selten Abbild- oder Symbolhaftes in den Arbeiten der Künstlerin gibt, Assoziationen lösen die Werke von Sab

I think that everyone can learn a thing or two about picture taking at this nice place full of interesting topics, like "How to Make Fake Miniature Scenes", "Quick Introduction to HDR Photography", etc.

awesome collection of sand sculptures. Hope you all will like it.

Light graffiti, also known as light painting are alwasy very interesting for everyone, they are looking awesome and pretty sweet. Here we have gathered some of most beautiful Lifht graffiti art from Lichtfaktor a Cologne, Germany based group. We hope that you will like their work, find out more about the group and their work on: LICHTFAKTOR - LICHTFAKTOR on Behance - LICHTFAKTOR on Flickr The members of LICHTFAKTOR use light to give expression to their creativity. They take advantage of a variety of light sources to produce photos and videos in cities by night. The Cologne artists' collective, consisting of VJ $ehvermögen (photographer and VJ since 1997 with many years of experience in the event field) and JIAR (communications designer and graffiti artist), experiments with the possibilities yielded by bulb (long-term) exposure and painting. Their aim is to explore all aspects of "lightwriting" and to develop it further. The LICHTFAKTOR crew intentionally uses the entire space in which a particular work is produced and integrates it into their photos and animated films in such a way that it's not just a backdrop but a part of the work itself.

In troubled economic times, there is only one high rise office tower being built in Brisbane. So enamoured was the client, GPT, with the design by Cox Rayner Architects that he decided to proceed on the basis that the building's aesthetic, environmental and workplace benefits would lure prospective tenants. The tower's structure is organic in that the columns twist and turn up its 45 storey height, emerging through the roof to form a tree-like canopy. The resulting filigree of structure reflects the city's two iconic Fig Trees in the building's forecourt, but the rationale for the concept was initially pragmatic. This was because the tower is being built over a wide existing loading dock such that there were few points on the ground where columns could land. Cox Rayner Architects with their engineers ARUP devised a structural system where loads could be gradually transferred diagonally down to the land predominantly on one side of the site, avoiding the dock. The concept evolved with several attributes. The columns in the 'web' are abnormally thin at 600 - 400 wide, maximising views to the river. Less concrete is required than in conventional typologies entailing reduced embodied energy in construction. Overall the tower is currently measured to be above 6 star rating under the Green Building Council of Australia's Green Star Design Rating System. The tower has a corner services core that also maximises the availability of views to the office areas, with the structural frame wrapping around the remaining volume inside a glass skin with operable blinds responding to solar orientations. The ground plane is designed as a public thoroughfare space linking the city to its main ferry terminal, such that the foyers are at the first level above. This design enriches the sense of lightness and space for which the building will become renowned

Uniquely designed by Tse & Tse Associees, the Mizra Stand Up Teapot will surely catch every eye's attention. Made of porcelain with a wooden handle, the Mizra Teapot is clean and elegant enough to be on any table for a relaxing tea drinking session. I see a cute little banana boat on one's table in here when used. On the other hand, Mizra can also be one of your stylish decors when not in use by simply letting it stand on its end when not in use. You can also set it aside in your cupboard with no problem at all, as it surely will save a lot of your space.-via

It did catch my attention, but not in a good way. I think it's because my engineering background tells me there is something wrong with the handle...

Illusion, fun, optical, flash, graphic, and more.

Really fascinating. Everyone should take a look at this! :D
