I’ve read a couple (but certainly not all) of the essential Douglas Coupland books and love his ability to identify, embody and express what is going on in the world at a particular time. His expression comes from his writing and his art. This piece from artsy.net is a bold and fascinating account of the present and future of art, as a result of the changing world. Enjoy!
Self expression is a beautiful thing, and this video is just beautiful to watch. Here’s to getting energized for the weekend and getting crazy creative!
In keeping with my interest / obsession of using inside design elements in outdoor, public spaces, here is a (not so) little proposed gem slated for our fair city of Vancouver. Photo source unknown.
There’s no question about it… love and relationships are complex. In the spirit of ‘a picture being worth a thousand words’, I think this lovely illustration by Richard Mcguire for a 2010 June edition of The New Yorker speaks quite profoundly on the subject. It’s also a beautiful cover. Vive l’editorial!
I randomly found this lovely installation by (I believe) Alphons ter Avest of the Netherlands. I’m not sure what the intention is but it feels like the distant cousin of this project
Nice photographic series in this issue of Foam Magazine (#24), called Natura © Pablo Lopez Luz. Feels a bit like summer to me.
Really loving the latest identity for the Whitney Museum of American Art. It is unconventional and apparently high maintenance, probably requiring a very comprehensive brand standards manual and a skilled designer to execute any further applications for the museum. Although some may see this identity as frivolous and limiting, I think these are trivial excuses which should not stifle a great creative concept such as this one. What I like the best is how the ‘W’ is able to change shape to fit different applications and uses, very much like a good museum, designed to host all different art installations.
