I heard about a new public art installation called Event Horizon set to debut in the area around Madison Square Park in New York, so I decided to go check it out for myself, not simply because Event Horizon is one of my all time favorite horror flicks, but because it also sounded like an amazing way to spend a beautiful friday afternoon. English sculptor Antony Gormley cast 31 different molds of himself, and has placed them on a series of rooftop perches along the city skyline. There are supposed to be more of these naked men standing on the grounds of Madison Square Park and on the sidewalks in the surrounding area, but I could not find them when I was out and about. It was pretty cool to spot one of these guys from far away, but I’m not sure I would’ve noticed them if I wasn’t already looking. Nevertheless, very very cool. I dug a little deeper, and it turns out Gormley is an extremely accomplished artist, with museum shows all over the world, and several prominent public sculptures, including The Angel of the North located in Gateshead, England. He also won the Turner Prize in 1994, which if you didn’t know, is kind of a big deal. I strongly suggest going to check it out!

Paul Octavious

Chicago’s Paul Octavious creates imaginative and whimsical scenes from household objects and everyday life.  His work is full of clever ideas that always make me smile.  Make sure to check out his gravity-defying “The Book Collection” where he plays a literary Jenga to spell out words and numbers.

See more of Paul’s work at his website and below the jump.  Then see how many books you can stack up.

Olafur Eliasson: your chance encounter

Danish-icelandic Olafur Eliasson has done it again! “Your chance encounter” is showing at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan. His intent to make his work engaging and relevant in the tailored museum space brings the institution to life. The rooms and corridors are transformed through his use of light, mirrors, shadow, color, wind and fog. Eliasson re-proposes the idea of the art museum as not just simply a building we go into to see art removed from society, but as more of a public space with the potential to engage society and the urban environment. If you’ve had the “chance encounter” with Olafur’s new installation, let us know what you think- was he successful in doing so?

Steve Jobs Cheese Head Supreme

Chef Ken has taken Mac Fanboy-dom and food sculptural likenesses to a…ahem…cheesy new level. Savor the delights of Steve Jobs head on an appetizer platter, in a sizzling plate of “iPad Thai” or in a festive nacho concoction.  A big ghastly when his head melts all over the chips. I can’t really say much more.

Chris Duncan

Duncan_Everything_All_At_Once_print

Chris Duncan is a fabulous Oakland based artist that I have had the pleasure of spending some time with over the past year. His installations, performance, drawing, painting, book making, sculpture and print-work are not only ambitious, but easy to get lost in, and most importantly, totally gorgeous! One of the hardest working artist in the game.

There is so much more! Do you research. Mr. Duncan exhibits with Baer Ridgway Exhibitions in SF. Also, he has started a a very lovely publishing project, Land and Sea. Also, Chris constitutes one half of the force of nature that you may know as Hot and Cold. Also, he is currently doing a residency/project  - The Sun @ Kala in which a record is being produced from freeform percussion jams, replete with sexy packaging. To here him talk about all of this and communicate by banging a drum, try to check out his upcoming lecture. And if you aren’t in the bay, listen to him anyway via Bad at Sports or watch and listen to him via XLR8RTV. He’s “up on the wall”.
