The New Colossus: Bronze Union Rat Statue

Click to enlarge

Last week while waiting on line to deposit a check at a midtown bank, I noticed a new sculpture across the way in the plaza at the Lever House. The New Colossus, as it is titled, is a bronze replica of the giant inflatable rats that labor union strikers often park outside the employer’s premises they are picketing, usually for hiring non-union workers. There’s definitely some irony there, seeing this working class object converted into a piece of fine art in a very white collar part of NYC.

The group behind the sculpture is the Bruce High Quality Foundation known for their provocative art. The rat has actually been at the Lever House since last July when it accompanied an exhibit of the group’s works in the lobby called Art History with Labor: 95 Theses. The show consisted of real objects including a bucket with a mop, a wheelbarrow with a bag of soil, a floor polisher, a ladder, a trash can, and other elements that made it look like a construction site. Each object had a built-in audio speaker with voices emanating from them reading texts about art and labor, as if the objects that experienced the daily work became animated. I wish I had seen the show, but I wasn’t even aware of the rat until last week.

Hendrik Kerstens: Paula Pictures

Click to enlarge

Dutch photographer Hendrik Kerstens has been photographing his daughter Paula since 1995, using her as his model both in photographs reflecting events in her own life, as well as in his humorous series of photos inspired by the 17th century Dutch Masters. His choice of headdresses range from bubble-wrap to trash bags, paper towels to lampshades. Though I’ve seen similar concepts before (see Julia Kissina’s Fairies and Nina Katchadourian’s Lavatory Self-Portraits) Kerstens excellently emulates the Vermeer-style lighting in his Paula Pictures. As an additional fun fact, Alexander McQueen (who had been a collector of Hendriks’ photographs) used the image of Paula with a plastic bag headdress for his Fall 2009 show invitation.

MRtoll: Clay Street Art

Click to enlarge

Brooklyn-based painter and street artist MRtoll has been placing his clay street sculptures and street poetry around town for the past couple of years. These brightly colored clay works include everything from humorous word conjugation-like panels (my favorites) to emoticons and more illustrative pieces such as fried eggs, feathery birds, skulls and more. From the looks of his tumblr, the childlike quality of some of these may be toddler-inspired.

Polish photographer Marek Samojeden takes spectacular aerial landscape shots of southern Poland. These are just a few from his Winter Time series which are especially striking with their minimalist abstract quality from their bird’s eye view.

Fred Cray: Self-Portraits

Click to enlarge

I run into Brooklyn-based photographer Fred Cray ridiculously often. A close runner-up only to the person that introduced us; sometimes at galleries, sometimes on the street, and once even apartment-hunting (me, not him.) And now, a few weeks ago, I ran into Fred’s work on the internet. I was familiar with his lottery ticket self-portrait collage series and had been to his solo show of Travel Diaries at Janet Borden, Inc. a few years ago, but his other work was new to me and an interesting discovery.

Cray’s B/W Self-Portraits are particularly compelling, if a little disturbing. Images of his skin on fire, tarred and feathered, or buried in dirt with worms on his face are hard to ignore or not react to. In an interview with Revel in New York, below, he explains that many of these were created in angry reaction to the Gulf War, while others are full of literary references such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s dirt-eating character in 100 Years of Solitude.

Make sure to check out more of Fred Cray’s work on his website and watch the video below to learn more about him and his process.

Urban Maeztro: Firing Back with Street Art

Click to enlarge

Urban Maeztro the Honduran street artist, wheat-pastes provocative images of iconic paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and American Gothic, adding vividly rendered firearms to the images protesting the terrible gun violence in his country. The masked artist has often dodged bullets while posting his art in dangerous public spaces throughout Tegucigalpa, fearing the police as much as criminals.

Though in a different — and typically more dangerous — country, parallels can be drawn with Enzo & Nio’s wheat pastings, as they can be with the ever-increasing problem of gun violence and nonsensical deaths in the U.S. as well.

Hao Ni: Object-Based Sculpture

Click to enlarge

Daniela spotted Taiwanese MFA student Hao Ni’s Smoke Ring sculpture a couple of weeks ago at RISD’s Grad Open Studios. Looking at more of Hao Ni’s work, smoking cigarettes appear in some of his other curious and playful sculptures as well, one of which is called You Have Your Fortress, I Have Mine. The Fortress becomes a story told through the sculptural pursuit of space and object-based relationships. Another recurring theme in Ni’s work is the house. He has an ongoing collaboration with Kazuki Sebastian Guzmán called Play House; a sort of pop-up installation/sculptural house that houses other smaller house sculptures inside and evolves with every showing.

You can see more of Hao Ni’s work here, here, and here.

Umbilic Torus: Helaman Ferguson

Click to enlarge

The 24-foot high, nearly 10-ton bronze Umbilic Torus, created by Helaman Ferguson, is a mathematically inspired 3-dimensional ring with a single edge that wraps around three times before returning to its starting point. The sculpture was recently unveiled in front of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University, where it celebrates the fusion of mathematics and art. It took Ferguson almost two years along with a crew of artists, engineers, programmers and welders to complete the large-scale work.

ART+COM: Anamorphic Mirror

Click to enlarge

Berlin-based interdisciplinary design studio ART+COM was asked by Deutsche Bank to create an installation for a vestibule near the conference room in the company’s headquarters. The brief stated the inclusion of the bank’s iconic logo (designed by Anton Stankowski) in the work. In order to avoid a huge logo dominating the small 25 square foot space, ART+COM opted for a less obtrusive and more poetic approach: anamorphosis. As the visitor climbs the staircase, the abstract mirrored sculpture slowly reveals the logo, but it’s not until the top of the stairs are reached that the image is fully resolved.

You can ‘experience’ the effect in the video below:

Philip Lüschen: Waiting Room Survival

Click to enlarge

This made me chuckle. Dutch designer Philip Lüschen created a humorous series of Waiting Room Survival objects: a collection of tools for waiting rooms, to spy on others, wait incognito or to shorten the period of waiting by making others disappear. From a book with eyeholes for spying on your neighbors, to nose masks for those who don’t wish to be recognized; and finally, the “sneak in front” tool consisting of a photo of actual sized empty seats to place in front of those ahead of you.

Andrew Baines: Surreal Human Portraits

Click to enlarge

Charlie Todd has a kindred spirit on the opposite side of the globe. Australian artist Andrew Baines organizes and documents similar “missions” usually taking place on the various beaches of Australia. Baines has a lot to be happy about: after years of struggling with the idea of leaving his commercial art business to pursue his lifelong passion of fine art, Baines took the plunge, met with success, and never looked back. Plus, he spends much of his time on the beach — as he did growing up — but now in the name of art!

Baines’ most recent “guerrilla installation,” and part of his Surreal Human Sculptures series, took place last August when twelve suited volunteers carried their own toilets to the water’s edge and then dropped their pants and sat down to read the paper. The event titled Coalition of the Constipated was an effort to bring attention to the lack of toilets in the Henley Square Eatery district. In 2009, Baines gathered 50 participants on West Beach to be buried in sand up to their necks for his Up to Your Neck in It event, highlighting the way people are bogged down with pressures of everyday life when we should all stop and look around to realize things are not as bad as they seem. And a few years earlier Baines went from Melbourne beaches to ones in Sydney recruiting volunteers to dress in suits and bowler hats with umbrellas and briefcases in hand, and wade in the ocean by the early morning light creating some rather surreal-looking (specifically Magritte-like) images.

There are many other fun events on Andrew Baines’ website, so take a look.

Ed Ruscha: Bookworks

Click to enlarge

It’s hard for me to pinpoint what it is about Ed Ruscha’s large-scale book paintings that thrilled me, but walking into the Gagosian Gallery the other day, that’s just what they did to me. In my eyes, these recent works by the Nebraskan-born artist pay homage to the fast-disappearing tomes. While others are using books and/or their pages to create sculptures and installations, Ruscha is making them larger than life, focusing on the details of their bindings, endpapers, and moldy pages. The exhibit includes older works involving books and words, some with type bleached onto their linen bindings, and still others with writing on the paper side of closed books. Ruscha’s fascination with words is not new; he has been quoted as having said “Sometimes I wonder whether I am painting pictures of words or whether I’m painting pictures with words.” Either way, works for me.

The exhibit will be on view through January 12th.
