tacky culture

…i then use some images by “worsening” the scale, the form or the context to produce an installation in the architecture by means of staples…

this project by ‘baptiste debombourg’ is something else: aggravure; the artists motives are slightly lost on me but i do admire the technique… (via this is colossal)

ministry of ballet

last friday i paid a visit to the huge office building in the hague of the ‘oc&w’ ministry (education, culture and sciences) where i was given a guided tour of their homebase and in particular the (permanent & temporary) art collection spread around the large numbers of offices and division within the ministry

they have acquired a number of our ballet posters for the collection and it was great to see them ‘in situ’ and hear some of the reactions from the people who look at them everyday

…how long these magnificent geometric forms survive is completely dependent on the weather. Beck designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to significant overnight accumulations…

artist ‘simon beck’ spends between 5 and 9 hours a day making these incredible patterns in the snow using just his feet
