Feelings are Facts

The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing presents the exhibition "Feelings are Facts". It is the first collaboration between Olafur Eliasson, my favourite artist in the world, and Ma Yansong, one of the most prolific Chinese architects. Together they've created an installation specially for the of UCCA’s Big Hall, uniting architecture, light and fog.
Their work invites the audience to enter an endless space of fog, with fluorescent tubes of red, green and blue; by moving through the space, the colors blend, and so the viewers create their own color spectrums.

David DiMichele

Just discovered photography work by Los Angeles based artist David DiMichele.
He builds all these fantastic environments in his studio and then he photographs them! So they are not real scale, but in the photos they look it!! What he does is making a statement about how audiences see and experience monumental art....still... I just wish these installations were real life.

Centre Pompidou of the South

The Centre Pompidou-Metz opened this month and it is entirely independent in its cultural choices.
Inside the building, the space is flooded with day light and the atmosphere is enhanced by a pale wood roof, white-painted walls and floors in pearl-grey polished concrete.
It looks lovely, next trip! http://www.shigerubanarchitects.com/

Million Donkey Hotel ,Italy

In this months Frame mag I found this lovely hotel opened in the medieval borgo of the small Italian town Prata Sannita, at the foot of the Massiccio del Matese. Invited to transform these seemingly unwanted spaces for the future, without negating their past, Viennese collective feld72 designed a functional simple hotel in a dramatic natural setting. One room features a roll-out caged bed, allowing guests to sleep suspended high above the landscape, under the stars...isn't that just romantic!!!

Jürgen Chill

Artist's own words: 'My photographs are most like a map of the prison cells; like a Google Earth view of a landscape. I try to communicate information about the individuals that have to live in perhaps the smallest possible space for habitation that a person can have – without showing this person himself. Personal and functional items are all accommodated in the tightest space.
I’m interested in how a person arranges personal and functional items in their small cell. And what kind of person can it be.
