Andreas Kocks. Sit. With ‘Noir’ Sit returns to his bold black & whites, examining the troubled relation between the animal kingdom and mankind even closer. This time around his work is focused on the magnificent beauty of the beast and the way it is used to serve the vanity that is intricate to humanity. The result is a haunting series that is simultaneously sexy and morbid.
The sensual textures of fur and feathers are juxtaposed with pale animal skulls and soft female curves to illustrate the malicious blackness gnawing away at the edges of our sense of beauty.

'Hang Four' | WALLS. Sound Sculptures Dentsu London Sound Sculptures. Caleb Charland. Ethereal Installation of a Thousand Bells (10 pics) Can you imagine walking into a room, looking up and seeing a thousand heavenly bells sparkling above you? Brazilian visual artist Laura Belém has created this very experience for us in The Temple of a Thousand Bells, a new installation that's part of Liverpool's 2010 Biennial. The work features a thousand hand-blown glass bells and an accompanying polyphonic soundtrack inside the Oratory beside Liverpool Cathedral in St.
James Cemetery. The story of the clear, translucent glass bells are told through loudspeakers in the room, unveiling an ancient legend about a temple of a thousand bells that was built on an island. The bells are meant to evoke water, notions of spirituality, fragility and evanescence. Artist Laura Belém says, “My intention is to show a work that can touch the viewer’s ‘inner self’ – heart and soul – something we share universally and that transcends geographic and cultural boundaries.
Come see the Oratory and this installation now until September 17.
