Afterparty by MOS at P.S.1

Plakbanterie by Johan Bruninx

The tape is used to cover scratches and dents in the surface and restore value to the discarded objects. The patterns created with the tape are reminiscent of traditional wooden marquetry techniques, where thin veneers are used to cover a surface with an inlaid pattern. From a distance, the paper tape takes on the appearance of wood. Bruninx showed the project at the Design Academy Eindhoven graduation show 2007, held during Dutch Design Week.

Inge Druckrey: Teaching to See. A Wilting Dreamscape That You Can Walk Inside. Most sensible people know that there are big changes going on in our world--changes in the climate, in the economy, in society at large and how it’s structured--but it can be hard to really internalize those changes when you’re just reading about them in a newspaper.

A Wilting Dreamscape That You Can Walk Inside

Sometimes, things need to be experienced--to be felt--to be understood. Which means that sometimes, you just have to let people walk into a big melty room and let them figure out what it means for themselves. That’s one way to understand Le Cercle Fermé, an installation by artists Martine Feipel and Jean Bechameil that served as Luxembourg’s entry in last year’s Venice Biennale. The artists took a sort of blandly familiar space--wood floors, white walls with some nice molding--and turned it into a drooping, dripping dreamscape, equal parts Dali and Escher. מונטז’: הסימטריה בסרטי סטנלי קובריק (וידאו. מחשבון שכר טרחה. עולם - הספה בקטלוג של איקאה נראית אמיתית? הסתכלו שוב - זה רק עיבוד מחשב.

We will never tire of the positive effects of nature.

Lifestyle

Its calming, soothing and inspiring influence will never go out of style. The more we rush, the more time we spend indoors staring at our screens and devices, the more urban our lifestyles become, the more we crave and need time away from it all. It has been amazing to follow the newest solutions to the old dilemmas: How to bring more green space to cities; how to reclaim underused urban land for recreational and other "green" uses; how to provide more and more people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of spending time in nature. Lately, we have seen fantastic examples of how designers and architects, urban planners and citizens' organizations have accomplished both large and small-scale projects, from bringing a bit of greenery, and open space to otherwise bleak surroundings, to large-scale neighborhood-changing undertakings.

FieldCandy Tents Designed To Stand Out. FieldCandy tents do not give you camouflage protection in the natural setting, nor do they help you blend in with the rest of the crowd at the campsite.

FieldCandy Tents Designed To Stand Out

FieldCandy tents are designed to stand out. When we saw the first images of these limited-edition designer tents with their cool flysheets, we had to really stop and think. Is it true that no-one else has manufactured these types of tents for sale before? We have seen individual pieces displayed as art, but we had not seen anything quite like this. Treelife.
