Mademoiselle Maurice is the French artist behind this series of works, but not the only person involved. Lots of local volunteers, from regional students to nearby residents, pooled their efforts to help build the thirty thousand pieces required to make it all work.

Made up of detailed parts, the works are designed to function at different scales, and spread out to also make for movement-centered experiences as one walks through or past the colored arrays.

This set of interventions was built for the 2013 ARTAQ Festival, but in a similarly colorful style that is a long-standing signature style of its creator. From the artist: “We intervened in nearly twenty places, such as leisure centers, schools (from kindergarten to high school), but also within the prison.”

Murder, Set, Pieces

31 Dec

Set against Sin City, Las Vegas, “Murder, Set, Pieces” tells the story of a fashion photographer whose vocation is shooting young girls but his hobby is slaughtering them. The sociopathic serial killer murders anyone who crosses his path and his evil is countered not by the law but instead by the sister of his current girlfiend. “Murder, Set, Pieces” is a voyeuristic nightmare of blood, sex and brutality.

Absolutely Absurd: 18 Playful Furniture Pieces for All Ages

18 Dec

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

The humor starts with the name, but definitely does not end there. Straight Line Designs produces just about anything except works that are straightforward or linear.

Descriptions including ‘playful’ and ‘postmodern’ come to mind, or, more directly, the titles speak for themselves: canned bench, burnt table, cracked cabinet.

These objects indeed fit their monikers, as they crash, melt, rip and explode around, into and through your rooms in cartoonish fashion.

Still, to dismiss them as childish fun (though many are indeed designed for kids) would be to miss the remarkable attention to detail in these difficult and hard-to-execute pieces of furniture with their zigs, zagz, curves and springs.

From the company: “Straight Line Designs is a one-of-a-kind workshop that has been operating out of Vancouver, British Columbia for the past 25 years. In addition to installations, sculptures and private commissions, designer Judson Beaumont and his staff of eight full-time craftspeople have designed and constructed a variety of custom-built furniture and projects for public institutions and children’s exhibitions throughout North America and abroad.”

J Majik & Wickaman ft Dee Freer ‘In Pieces’ (OFFICIAL VIDEO) (Out Now)

28 Sep

Download on iTunes: bit.ly J Majik and Wickaman teamed up with Josh Cole, an award winning stills photographer, to bring you their new video for summer anthem ‘In Pieces’, which features rising star Dee Freer. Having begun his career as a hip-hop photographer, Josh now shoots advertising and fashion and is well known for his hard-hitting reportage work with subcultures and subjects including street gangs, gypsies, breakdancers and graffiti artists from across the globe. For the past 6 years, Josh has been shooting a personal project – ‘Physical Graffiti’ – about street dancers from around the world. As an extension of this project, Josh decided to return to Rwanda to shoot a film about the dancers there and in neighbouring Burundi. Josh first visited Rwanda to do a story for The Independent on his old friend Dicken Marshall, who went to Rwanda to start a ‘fair trade’ recording studio and record label, www.rafikirecords.com. Dicken then acted as producer on this film and introduced Josh to the best dancers in the region. The video to ‘In Pieces’ was shot in the most deprived and poorest parts of the country’s capitals, Kigali and Bujumbura. The idea of the film is to show the powerful energy that comes from personal hardship, which is a central theme of his work. ‘In Pieces’ is out now on Ministry of Sound Recordings. http www.twitter.com www.twitter.com www.facebook.com
