Acid trip of the day

Leon — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:27:45 +0000

Set to the music of Kraftwerk, “Autobahn” is an experiment in the art of animation, combining electronic art with manual animation techniques. A multi-dimensional animated tale of the adventures of a futuristic character and his travels through a fantastic landscape, the story is filled with strange apparitions and dangerous places.

British artist Damien Hirst opens shop to make his work accessible for more people with art prices ranging from £1,000 to £250,000. A great idea for making art democratic.

New exhibition about dynamics of global cities at Tate Modern

Leon — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:13:05 +0000

Global Cities looks at the changing faces of ten dynamic international cities: Cairo, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai, São Paulo, Shanghai and Tokyo.

Exploring each city through five thematic lenses – speed, size, density, diversity and form – the exhibition draws on data originally assembled for the 10th International Architecture Exhibition at the 2006 Venice Biennale. This unique show presents existing films, videos and photographs by more than 20 artists and architects to offer subjective and intimate interpretations of urban conditions in all ten cities.

At the far end of the long tail

This just fascinates me.

Meatpaper is a print magazine of art and ideas about meat. We like metaphors more than marinating tips. We are your journal of meat culture.

The aesthetics of curiosity

Leon — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:10:12 +0000

I found this great book in the Tate Modern bookshop, which is a ultra-condensed introduction to the ‘what is art’ discussion, art history, various discourses and aesthetics. I strongly recommend it to anyone that’s interested in art but dislikes the idea investing two years in art history classes.

What does this book have to do with planning then? Absolutely nothing!
