Wearable Foods by Sung Yeon Ju

Korean artist Sung Yeon Ju made these dresses from fruits and vegetables as part of an ongoing project of constructed art forms made with food that she started two years ago. (Click on photo for more detail.)

“This series of her work forces viewers to defy the actual meaning, the functionalities, and the aspects of what clothing signifies in our lives. The essence of clothing and food has been reinterpreted. Each element does not fulfill its own role and yet, each suggests an unconventional and even contradicting role – un-wearable clothing that is made out of the materials that do not last.”

Double Happiness

Double Happiness responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this “risky” game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world.

Tara Donovan: Pins & Mylar at Pace

Tara Donovan Pins and MylarBeing a longtime fan of Tara Donovan’s work, I was especially happy to learn of her two shows at two different Pace Galleries in NYC these past two months. The top two (I’m noticing a lot of “twos” in this post) images are from her nickel-plated steel pin drawings at the 25th St. gallery. The bottom image is of her mylar sculpture “Untitled (Mylar) 2011” which takes up most of the space at the 22nd St. location.
To see some of Donovan’s other works look here.

Felice Varini

Felice VariniI’ve just discovered the mind-blowing Felice Varini. What looks like a Photoshopped translucent pattern layered over a photo are actually painted walls, floors, ceilings (and any other objects that get in his way) resulting in the optical illusion. He’s been creating these for over 30 years and there are so many that it’s hard to choose which ones to post. I suggest you look at them all here.
