Apogogie ordinaire — How to describe works of art 101: the ultimate... 888,246 Ceramic Poppies Surround the Tower of London to Commemorate WWI. Historic Royal Palaces To commemorate the centennial of Britain’s involvement in the First World War, ceramic artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper conceived of a staggering installation of ceramic poppies planted in the famous dry moat around the Tower of London. Titled “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red,” the final work will consist of 888,246 red ceramic flowers—each representing a British or Colonial military fatality—that flow through grounds around the tower. Volunteers began placing the poppies several weeks ago and the process will continue through the summer until a final flower is symbolically planted on November 11th.

You can read more about the project over on the Historic Royal Palaces website, and see the volunteers’ progress by following the #TowerPoppies hashtag on Twitter.

Anyone who has tried drawing or painting clouds knows that they’re incredibly difficult to reproduce in pictorial form. Well, that can’t actually be tougher than making them, right? In the last few years, artist Berndnaut Smilde has made a name for himself as a sculptor of clouds. His Nimbus series captures the fleeting “manmade” cloudage that he has created inside old gallery halls.

They last for a moment, and then, just like that, they’re gone. Smilde’s magical powers are little more than elementary science. “It’s not a high-tech process at all,” he tells Co.Design. He begins each one of his projects by selecting a space, either a quiet artspace or, increasingly, the aristocratic chambers of prestigious museums. The work is labor-intensive--sometimes a few days long--and gives Smilde only a small window in which to snap his photographs. The photographs are the only evidence that Smilde’s wispy indoor clouds existed at all. Photo by rmlfvr. Photo by instagram. Grand Palais Picture -- Paris Wallpaper - Floating Plastic Membranes Invite You To Walk On Air. Even if you fancy yourself an armchair (or bar stool) physicist, talking about string theory without delving deep into abstract language is a challenge.

Tomás Saraceno broaches the topic in the most fun way possible this month, with a massive PVC jungle gym installation that he says represents the Planck scale, a theoretical subatomic realm where wormholes and multiverses abound. You’ll remember Saraceno from his 2009 Venice Biennale piece, Galaxies Forming Along Filaments, Like Droplets Along the Strands of a Spider’s Web; or Cloud City, the Met’s 2012 rooftop installation. Both pieces mixed utopian idealism with theoretical physics--a heady combination that some will surely roll their eyes at.

But On Space Time Foam is hard not to like. Installed in Milan’s HangarBicocca, the installation invites ten visitors at a time to slide into the square space, hanging 72 feet above the ground and made from super-strong reinforced plastic. In other words, no one really knows. Bryan Lewis Saunders - DRUGS.
