Brassaï Brassaï (pseudonym of Gyula Halász) (9 September 1899 — 8 July 1984) was a Hungarian photographer, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker who rose to international fame in France in the 20th century.

Reorganize Art Chaos and mess are all around us, forcing us to organize and clean space in a never-ending battle against entropy. Or, to put a more positive spin on the same concept: maybe organization is a way of gaining control and making sense of the world around us. Ursus Wehrli has conceded that no one can really ‘clean up’ a Jackson Pollock (short of returning the paint to its original cans), but Chagall, Seraut, Warhol and Klee are all fair game. Beyond Kunst Aufrauemen (German for ‘Art Cleanup’), though, Ursus has applied his absurdist artistic touch to all kinds of other item collections, from pine tree branches and alphabet soups to park-going picnickers and automobile parking lots. This playful and prolific individual has as series of books on the subject of organization and has also given great talks at conferences like TED discussing everything from modern art to intrepid perfectionism that transcends simply neat or tidy.

Top 100 Highlights In the mid-1960s James Turrell pioneered a new concern with the phenomena of space and light, often referred to as the Light & Space Movement. Turrell sought not to depict light but to use light itself as his material, and his earliest works investigated the effects of artificial light. He also developed a number of installations that heightened the relationship between light and the architectural frame. The MFAH commissioned Turrell’s The Light Inside for the underground tunnel linking the museum's Caroline Wiess Law Building with the Audrey Jones Beck Building when the latter opened in 2000.
Street Art I couldn’t help but direct everyone to fellow public art loving blog Street Art Utopia as they have compiled a pretty decent list of the best street art of 2011. If you are just getting into the wonderful world of pasting, spraying or making the streets a more creative place, this list is a great place to start (short of Wall and Piece). One of the best things about this genre is it’s diversity – you can decided what you find gimmicky/twee or meaningful and awe-inspiring. Street art has always been the public’s voice, and the art world has yielded success to those with great ideas and a call for change. More from the list after the jump! Chromosaturations by Carlos Cruz-Diez "Carlos Cruz-Diez (Venezuela, 1923) is a painter and installation artist known for his chromatic structures that present color as an experience of encountering light. One of his early series of Fisicromías, begun in 1959, were strips of cardboard, aluminum, and Plexiglas that were arranged on different levels, so as to give the impression of vibrating color. His series of Chromosaturations (1969) were 22 cabins made of red, blue, and green Plexiglas that were installed at the entrance of the Place de l’Odéon in Paris. Cruz-Diez emphasizes the viewer’s physical interaction with the work, instead of passive appreciation that requires knowledge of cultural context. He has also worked with silk-screen prints, video, architectural models, and traditional paintings." - artnet
Passion for Skateboarding Now that’s a sick madness! If you have never heard about Japanese wood sculptor named Haroshi, go get the wind of his most original conceptual art. As a creator of amazingly beautiful wooden sculptures out of old, crashed and broken skateboard decks, Haroshi passed for a man of considerable resourcefulness. 10 Most Fascinating Tunnels This unusual tunnel can be seen in California's Sequoia National Park. The drive is cut through the tree trunk of a Sequoia which fell in 1937. Instead of removing it from the road, the park administration decided to cut a tunnel in it.
