Andy Rudak: Cardboard Cities. London-based still life advertising photographer Andy Rudak has recently embarked on a more personal project, creating a series of cityscapes made entirely from cardboard.
With the help of master set-builder Luke Aan de Wiel, Andy recreated dream-like views of London, New York, Mumbai, Paris and Tokyo. "I knew I wanted the shots to portray a scene of serenity" Andy says, "I had decided I wanted these scenarios to be void of any obvious human presence so I used an animal for each shot as the main focal point. From this I was drawn to the idea of the taxidermy animals. I felt they were crucial to achieving the feeling of serenity I was after. " A book following the process of construction from start to finish is being published with an exhibition of final images touring agencies and galleries this autumn and winter.

My purpose is to talk about the sense of time and destiny of the planet after the human species, through the sense of restlessness which abandoned buildings are able to communicate.

Anne-Emmanuelle Marpeau, Beals Island, ex-voto, 20″ x 21″ x 9-1/2″, SOLD Showing image 1 of 19 Biography Anne-Emmanuelle Marpeau calls her artworks ex-votos.
Literally translated as from the vow made, ex-votos traditionally were placed in churches to seek grace or give thanks. Marpeau’s pieces are offerings, story boxes, telling tales of events gone past, and of events imagined. Anne Emmanuelle Marpeau lives in an old boatyard on France’s Breton coast. Marpeau spent much of her childhood with a taciturn grandfather who made his living as a fisherman. The three-dimensional format gives Marpeau’s stories more depth and life. Marpeau’s 2011 exhibition with Dowling Walsh was reviewed by the Bangor Daily News. Kristian Glynn. Ted Lott Woodworks, etc. Do Ho Suh, Fallen Star - Stuart Collection - UC San Diego.
Do Ho Suh’s Fallen Star is the 18th permanent sculpture commissioned by UCSD’s Stuart Collection.
It reflects Suh’s on-going exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space. His own feelings of displacement when he arrived in the U.S. from Seoul, Korea in 1991 to study led him to measure spaces in order to establish relationships with his new surroundings. He had to physically and mentally readjust. Suh’s small “home” has perhaps been picked up by some mysterious force and appears to have landed or crashed onto the seventh floor of Jacobs Hall at the Jacobs School of Engineering. The roof garden is part of his design and the whole creates a space with panoramic views for small groups to gather and readjust. Do Ho Suh graduated from Seoul National University. Gregory Euclide.

Today, innovations in digital technology have completely transformed film, video, and television: extraordinary special effects and three-dimensional imaging created using computer-based software are commonplace. However, while the digital world continues to expand into more and more areas of our lives, a profound human need to re-experience the actual and tangible has also arisen. It is not a coincidence that as individuals spend more and more time looking at a monitor interacting with others in cyberspace, the pleasures in making things by hand, engaging with materials and techniques in a direct fashion, also increase. Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities is organized around four themes that provide a context for the works, and offer the viewer a narrative thread that makes the works accessible to our visitors.
