Wim Delvoye : de l'art et du cochon... “J’aimerais, une fois n’est pas coutume,réveiller les consciences des wonderfulecteurs”…Voici un artiste qui va, sans doute susciter pas mal de réactions…”. Wim Delvoye artiste plasticien belge né le 14 janvier 1965 à Wervik, se fait connaitre grâce à sa machine à caca… “Cloaca”. il se présente comme artiste “ethnique”, il suscite nombre de réflexion par la juxtaposition d’univers et de contre emploi. Dans la lignée de Brueghel, il confronte, lui aussi, le trivial aux politiques, au religieux et à la société.

Cloaca (2000-2007) : “emmerde Coca-Cola”? Son installation “Cloaca” présentée au musée Mukha d’Anvers en 2000, reproduit de manière véritable le processus de la digestion, en faisant entrer des aliments dans une machine, d’où sort en bout de chaine des excréments. Critique ou vision pertinente sur notre “civilisation”, le message est clair ! L’art du cochon : exposition “dessin et maquette” : C’est, en chine que Win Delvoye construit, en 3 mois, “sa ferme”.

London designer Rohan Chhabra has adapted a range of hunter jackets so they transform into models of endangered animals (+ slideshow). For his Embodying Ethics: Endangered project, Rohan Chhabra took hunting attire and formed it into the shapes of the animals threatened by the activity.

"The project aims to use design to inform the issue of extinction of critically endangered species," said Chhabra. His range includes representations of a mountain gorilla, an Asian elephant, a tiger, a saiga antelope and a rhino. All five weatherproof jackets looks similar in their original forms but Chabbra has added extra zips and poppers in different places on each, so elements can be altered and reshaped into the individual animals. Toggles are positioned to look like eyes and fabric folds create ears. Gorilla, elephant and rhino shapes are formed over padded fabric bases, while antelope legs are simply crafted from sleeves.

Performances

Darksilenceinsuburbia: Nuala O’Donovan.... Darksilenceinsuburbia: Petros Chrisostomou. From89: Book Carvings of Mountains and Caves by... Jason McHenry is Making One Million Paintings. This guy is my new hero. His name is Jason McHenry. He and artist Christopher Dyer have embarked on a life project called One Thousand Thousand, which entails making 1 million uniformly-sized, original mixed-media works on paper. They’ve been making new pieces just about every day for the last 20 years and the project is nearing the 330,000 mark. WHAT!? Yes, 330 THOUSAND paintings. They’re approximately 5.5” x 7” — a precursor to the Artist Trading Card movement. AND, Jason sells them for right here on Etsy. Check out the online gallery of work and be sure to follow him along on Facebook or Flickr to keep updated on the project.

Process At their current rate of production, the goal of one million pieces of art will likely not be reached in their lifetime so they’re now asking others to get involved. Floating Garden From Salt by Motoi Yamamoto. Archiemcphee: Japanese paper artist Nahoko. Model Kits by Michael Johansson.

La fascination pour les jouets sous forme de kit de l’artiste suédois Michael Johansson ont influencés nombreux de ses projets. Il détourne des objets du quotidien qu’il démonte et donne à voir sous forme de kit à assembler. Une manière non conventionnelle et ludique de revisiter le quotidien à découvrir en images.
