Zilvinas Kempinas, Tube, 2009. Scuola Grande della Misericordia. 53rd Venice Biennale Tube is a work that creates a dramatic enclosed walkway over 80 feet long. The work is one of the latest in a series employing Kempinas’ signature medium of unspooled magnetic tape, works that have inventively exploited the strength and ultra-lightweight nature of tape to create beguiling and seemingly contradictory physical spectacles that skillfully subvert relationships.

Analog Glitch Photographs by Akihiko Miyoshi Throughout the featured series Abstract Photographs, Miyoshi explores form, colour and focus in relation to the photographer. Standing in front of a mirror covered in square-shaped hues, nothing more than a silhouette is ever visible in any one of his photographs. The series comments on the anonymity and elusive nature of a photographer while calling attention to the aestheticization of digital and analog errors.

Met the artist and she explained she uses incredibly high pressure water jets to cut the forks out of the plates.
Berndnaut Smilde's cloud creations within rooms are simply magical! The Amsterdam-based artist was able to achieve this with the combination of smoke, moisture, and dramatic lighting. It is interesting how the his work only exists for that brief period of time physically, but can still have a powerful impact after it is gone.

I saw these in the flesh (so to speak) last year at the V&A - I was ridiculously excited.

“Suspended Together” is an installation that gives the impression of movement and freedom. However, a closer look at the 200 doves allows the viewer to realize that the doves are actually frozen and suspended with no hope of flight. An even closer look shows that each dove carries on its body a permission document that allows a Saudi woman to travel. Notwithstanding their circumstances, all Saudi women are required to have this document, issued by their appointed male guardian. The artist reached out to a large group of leading women from Saudi Arabia to donate their permission documents for inclusion in this artwork. “Suspended Together” carries the documents of award-winning scientists, educators, journalists, engineers, artists and leaders with groundbreaking achievements that gave back to their society. The youngest contributor is six months old and the oldest is 60 years old. In the artist’s words, “regardless of age and achievement, when it comes to travel, all these women are treated like a flock of suspended doves.”
