Vandersault

As the night  transformed the crowd into near about a pool of evaporization, propelled enough for moments of intense dancing flow, the pace and content and face of the music was to be truly to be given the chance to impart in authentic performance beauty.

With that challenge, she stepped upon the stage with the charm and natural delight of a young believer of the arts; and she was just about to sense again in another way that she was undertaking her magical journey with the minds and hearts of many to come.

I thank you again for this musical night, it was very devoted and sweet. It seems I might need to wait to upload the other small puzzles of video added to this night.  On a sidenote it was one of those nights where you really needed to be there to sense it. I can imagine this is like the Scandinavian version of comme des enfants. I listened to their music on myspace, and it must be said the technology of the soundset here in Brooklyn really does not represent how good her voice really is. Like just about to enamore.

The most beautiful part was seeing Linda perform straight from modern times Copenhagen morphing with the timeless cinema rolling at the same time, with some other woman’s love for performance art in a time before ours. Priceless. We want to see you again. In stripes. Living it. Pure. Beautiful.

Never stop.

If this impresses you, this is only the beginning. Peter Root embeds all that meticulous signifies. He also built a city with potatoes, if you are curious. But mainly you must be able to appreciate the effort and detail of his work.

His personal artist statement:” The work I create regularly involves highly labor-intensive, mantra-like procedures of construction and assemblage. As well as being simple, playful experiments the work often touches upon themes of impermanence, repetition, structure, pattern, scale and architecture. My work often takes the form of extremely fragile, temporary arrangements, with works subject to micro-apocalyptic events such as a light breeze or a falling leaf.”

If I were reborn and grown up under an oak tree I´d have chosen to become an illustrator like Liza Corbett.

Dear, that level of pencil detail is just ideal. Getting drawn into this world of Lisa Corbett you can twinkle in a world that is very feminine, but nonetheless leading you into place where the figures outlive and embody some form of detachment; a metamorphosis that often comes through certain art. It reminds me partly of Max Ernst, but perhaps more solitary and dreamy. There is a certain eccentricity to the work – a strive, a curiosity, a melancholy, a reflection. It is a developing world of imagination, and for that it is great. Liza resides in New York from what I can see on her website and it is cool to see that beyond her now very comprehensively rich gallery, hosts how she gets there through her blog. It´s a good thing people do that!

Stunning! Audrey has a blog that is really interesting as well.

Little did I know that Peter was hosting a blog with his sketches; this was a great find, as it always is to see his work; never recalled that he would have any effect of mainstream and very driven to do his own things and I think he makes very great work! It really reinforces the acknowledgement that Umeå Institute of Design draws great talent to its programmes. Unique style comes with unique character.

I had planned to cooperate with Peter on an animation of his futuristic compounds of transportation, but there was quite a time constraint to animate this model. I did give it a small try though. Anyways, it looked like Rohan ended doing that the year after, although with his thesis on a nuclear fuelled spacecraft..

If that was not enough, Peter has got authentic style when it comes to music, and I thank him for the introduction to the likes of Ellen Alien. Keep it alive PQ! This image is from the Canadian Embassy at Scharinska, there was great light to photograph in.

A monumental tribute to the art of architecture and the art of photography. This is by far the most exhaustive and well done feature of its kind I’ve ever seen.

Now, if you and I and everyobdy else caught by microworlds lived in NYC we could go visit Salazar´s mixed media solo exhibition. Would not be such a bad idea.

This quote accompanied the artist´s process via the gallery exhibiting him – Jonathan Levine Gallery:

Salazar says that his work is sometimes inspired by the materials themselves. Regarding his process, in the artist’s own words: “Ultimately, a lot of what I end up making is an idea that’s pleasing to myself, especially in the pieces that try to depict an ideal world. It’s sort of processing memories, drawing things I like to draw, responding to materials. What I end up with in the end is a sense of community that I think is interesting, something that I’d like to find… a mixture of worlds I have lived in and worlds that would be fun if they existed.”
