Anish Kapoor And Arata Isozaki Partner On An Inflatable Mobile Concert Hall For Japan

Between the wreckage caused by the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the island nation this March, not to mention the subsequent nuclear reactor meltdown in Fukushima, they’ve had more than their fair share of tragedies to contend with. While relief aid organizations and charitable individuals have been sending food, water, and other essentials to help the country deal with the disasters, the folks behind the Lucerne Festival and Kajimoto have initiated a project that will feed the population’s soul in this time of crisis.

Commissioning architect Arata Isozaki and sculptor Anish Kapoor, the two talents are collaborating on an inflatable concert hall venue to be completed by Spring 2012. The mobile performance structure, titled ARK NOVA – A Tribute to Higashi Nihon, will be transported and utilized to stage music and dance performances for victims of the natural disasters.

The Tire Art of Wim Delvoye

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. Find out more about Wim's work here.

Name: Lola Dupre, Age : 28, Location, between several locations in Scotland, my main studio is in Glasgow and I also work and live in two remote studios in the far north of the country. Have you always created collage-based works?

I have always created collage, since I was 9 or 10. I’m so curious about your process - it looks like you must use multiple prints of the same image. Indeed, I use multiple prints of the same image, printed on (typically) A4 and A3 paper. Using the right glue, brushes and scissors you can get pretty quick, and with a bit of practice you dont smudge any glue. Where/how to you source your images? Learn to draw.

It is much easier to draw by using your fingers (not a mouse), and many great features were added. Unfortunately, there is no update plan for the web(flash) version as of yet.
