Korean Do Ho Suh has created a large sculptural installation. Glass plates rest on thousands of multicolored miniature plastic figures that are crowded together with their heads and arms turned skyward. Together, they are holding the weight of the individual visitor who steps onto the floor. Currently showing at Lehmann Maupin’s pop-up gallery at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI).

RH Gallery in New York will be the stage for Chinese artist Yi Zhou’s first metropolitan opening in the United States. Opening on March 6 and on view through April 27, 2012, the exhibition is built around Zhou’s short film, “The Greatness,” which was inspired by Dante’s pilgrimage in The Divine Comedy. The exhibition will include four new sculptures referencing objects featured in the film, including a coelacanth fish swallowing a whole human heart and a pair of hands holding a bridge. Like many of Zhou’s multimedia installations, “Underworlds Rising” blends film, digital animation, photography, sculpture, painting, drawing and contemporary music composition. RH Gallery 137 Duane St. New York, NY 10013 United States
Artists Inspired Sandwiches More about Low-Commitment Projects One project each and every Monday morning of 2012. Alternating brittany-tae-brittany-tae. During art school, our studios were connected by an open doorway. We started as strangers, but for the first (and only) assignment of the two-year program, our instructor paired us together. So began a back-and-forth of materials, ideas, and foods. Since school, we’ve both returned to our home states. Hawaii and Oregon aren’t exactly connected by a teletransporter, so it is hard to keep up the co-generation of ideas. That’s where Low-Commitment Projects comes in. Low-Commitment Projects provides us a chance to share concepts and schemes without a huge outlay of time, energy, or money. These ventures are like the materialization of mental sketches; there’s minimal risk because they’re quick. tae kitakata and brittany powell Credits & copyright Low-Commitment Projects

The Animated gif exhibition Last thursday the opening of ‘The animated Gif exhibition’ took place in Antwerp. It was a nice evening with lots of people, short conversations, a band, finger food and drinks, some speeches and a lot of gifs. Crap = Good presented the ‘Animated gif player’, a device, like its name suggests, capable of playing .gif file formats. An animated gif is a digital file format where multiple images are being looped after each other, creating a short and small sized movie clip. The file type was first introduced in 1987 as a first online movie, but soon lost its function with the increasing speed of internet and the possibility to upload longer and bigger movies. The document type however has gained back some of its popularity and is even entering the field of Art today. In 1832, Jozeph Plateau, a Belgian physicist invented the phenakistiscope. The first device which was able to show a moving image and which is considered to be the pre-runner of modern cinema. The only down part however was the fact that it could only show short movie clips in a loop. An animated gif is exactly that, and after some research on Plateau’s original design, Pieterjan Grandry succeeded to build a device capable of playing animated gifs, incorporating led lights, microchips and magnetic sensors. The Gif player is a wooden box, much like a turntable, with a dimmer to adjust the speed of the animation and a small looking hole in the front. On the exposition all of the submissions where beamed on a wall, and the 20 best ones you have voted for got printed on round discs, ready to be played by the gif player. All the images, of the machine and the opening at read more!

Bookguns by Robert The An original project by New York-based artist Robert The who carves guns out of of books. Cool you might say (or not if you really hate guns), but the concept goes much deeper: “Obsession with the semiotic erosion of meaning and reality led me to create objects that evangelize their own relevance by a direct fusion of word and form. Books (many culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins) are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris”. If you take the time to read the book titles, it will make much more sense.
