Sculptures Popping Out of Paintings. Oh, to have been in Tokyo in June!
Shintaro Ohata just finished up a solo exhibition at the Yukari Art Contemprary in Tokyo, Japan. This Hiroshima, Japan-born artist is known for his ability to show us everyday life in a cinematic way. Skate & Destroy. So what ever happens to used skateboard decks?
Most of them end up under the bed and surface only during nostalgic moments when you want to remember a time when you were not a 42 year old balding executive. However a lucky few, end up being turned into cool stuff like these amazing artworks from art collective haroshi. A refreshing take on eco and recycled artwork, the HARVEST project showcased a selection of the collective’s work throughout the years, following a philosphy to embrace sustainability through finding new applications for used possessions. Nice exhibtion ey? Too bad it finished last week, and too bad it was in Tokyo (unless you live in Tokyo and happened to see it). Fingers crossed some of our Australian gallery friends will bring this over to our shores. All Images Copyright Brandon Shigeta.

I was standing awkwardly in the corner at his birthday party last weekend, trying to remember how to interact with flesh-and-blood people on a face-to-face basis, when I looked down and saw it leaning against the wall next to me.
And I immediately recognized it from the cover of my college calculus text, from the flyleaf of which I now quote: The “Umbilic Torus NC” is a sculptural expression of timeless mathematical theorems in new silicon bronze created by Helaman Ferguson in 1987-88…He developed three real dimensional equations to get the umbilic torus in a sculpture-like space, computed normal vectors, tool offset vectors, and an NC (numerically controlled) tool path.
