Labyrinth of Keys and Yarn - Installation by Chiharu Shiota

With her new project titled “The Key in the Hand”, artist Chiharu Shiota will represent Japan at the 56th Venice Biennale, which run from 9 May till 22 November, 2015. 

Her newest work is based on a site-specific installation made up of over 50,000 keys which explores the notion of memory. Visitors to the Japan Pavilion will traverse a great cloud of keys hanging from red yarn. In placing spectator’s bodies at the heart of her work, Chiharu Shiota seeks to harness the expressive power of installations, which she describes as “the philosophy of the instant”.

Pink Balloons Saturate French Courtyard to Create a Pink Haze

At this year’s Lively Architecture Festival in Montpellier, France, designers Margaux Rodot, Mickaël Martin and Benoit Tastet displayed their colorful, youthful and engaging urban installation, called Un Dixieme Printemps (The Tenth Spring) to the public. Named the jury’s winner, Un Dixieme Printemps was set in the Hotel de Griffy’s exquisite courtyard for display. The installation’s interaction with the existing romantic architecture created a whimsical and beautiful dreamscape. Filled with hundreds of pink and white balloons, which were released from nets, the entire space was saturated with a pink haze, which offered happiness and relaxation.

Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama (1929, Japan) is an extremely influential avant-garde artist. It is hard to describe exactly what type of artist she is, because she has done a little bit of everything! Kusama is most famous for her “infinity” environments, which are made up of twinkling LED lights and reflecting waters. These infinity rooms merge science and mysticism, both inner and outer space. Kusama also has pop art statements that have influenced Andy Warhol. She has used polka dots and nets as motifs in her artwork since the age of ten. Kusama’s work has been featured in museums all over the world including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Tokyo, Minneapolis, and Arizona. 

"Le città minime” by Matteo Mezzadri | via

The Minimal City” // “Le città minime” is an outstanding still-life photography series by Parma-based multidisciplinary artist Matteo Mezzadri, that explores the architectural density of a modern metropolis. Actually, it’s an obsessive assembly of dozens of individual brick pieces – constructing a miniature city using materials found in the making of urban-scale centers.

Starting from the basic element of construction, the brick, Mezzadri built an entire model city in his studio and then photographed the buildings in primarily static, symmetrical compositions. The project for which Mezzadri won a Sony World Photography Award, is the result of obsessive handwork, capturing the space in which the majority of people live, an urban space in its essential structures.
