Visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's big retrospective of his marvelous rummaging around in that fissure and two things come into focus. First, the gap is a strange and often very funny place to be. A Soundscape Built From Bouncing Cotton Balls And Cardboard Boxes [Video] A Maze Of Tunnels Made Only Of Packing Tape, Suspended In Mid-Air. Last month, residents of (and visitors to) Melbourne’s Federation Square were invited to crawl through a vast network of semi-transparent tubes suspended nearly 20 feet in the air.
If that sounds like a carnival ride you’d rather sit out, you won’t be comforted by the fact that the structure was made entirely of packing tape. The installation was the latest iteration of Tape, an ongoing project by the Austrian/Croatian art collective For Use/Numen, but the first time it appeared in a public space, rather than a semi-public space like a museum courtyard. “When you go to a museum, you always expect something,” the group’s Christoph Katzler tells Co.Design. “But when you do your daily business and all of a sudden you pass by such a huge spider web with people inside, you get curious and want to go inside.

Janet Echelman. Janet Echelman builds living, breathing sculpture environments that respond to the forces of nature — wind, water and light — and become inviting focal points for civic life.
Exploring the potential of unlikely materials, from fishing net to atomized water particles, Echelman combines ancient craft with cutting-edge technology to create her permanent sculpture at the scale of buildings. Experiential in nature, the result is sculpture that shifts from being an object you look at, to something you can get lost in. Recent prominent works include: “Her Secret is Patience” spanning two city blocks in downtown Phoenix, “Water Sky Garden” which premiered for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, “She Changes” on the waterfront in Porto, Portugal, and “Every Beating Second” in San Francisco Airport’s new Terminal Two. Recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, Echelman was named an Architectural Digest 2012 Innovator for “changing the very essence of urban spaces.”
Major works[edit] CREMASTER. THE CREMASTER CYCLE. For the uninitiated, "The Cremaster Cycle" is a series of loosely-connected films: a set of five art movies, (rather than arthouse movies), written, produced and directed by New York artist Matthew Barney. Each film has its own theme, and its own, unique interpretation. They can be seen either chronologically or in date order. Yoshitomo Nara Nobody's Fool. Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody’s Fool is the first major New York exhibition of the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (born 1959), and features more than one hundred works ranging from his early career in the 1980s to his most recent paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, and large-scale installations. As one of the leading artists of Japan’s influential Neo Pop art since the 1990s, Nara is well known for his depictions of children and animals.
