Anish Kapoor And Arata Isozaki Partner On An Inflatable Mobile Concert Hall For Japan So far, 2011 hasn’t been Japan’s year.

Anish Kapoor And Arata Isozaki Partner On An Inflatable Mobile Concert Hall For Japan
For his series titled "Pneu", Belgian artist Wim Delvoye created a series of decorative objects by hand-carving intricate patterns and floral motifs on used car tires. Through his manipulation of found objects, Delvoye transforms things that seem useful in everyday life into sculptural pieces that carry a different value from their original intended purpose. Delvoye calls his own approach to art ‘glocal’, referring to ‘local’ and ‘global’, which is his own ironical way of describing art.

Here are some of the novels we believe will be the best reads for young artists in training.Lola Dupre Interview
