Grain & Gram — The New Gentleman's Journal / Blair Sligar, Woodworker “My name is Blair Sligar and I build furniture and sculpturefrom salvaged and local materials.” lair’s own words are concise, functional, and to the point. All things that you find in his work. Talking with Blair and seeing him among the wood and tools artfully thrown throughout his shop, somehow it all makes sense. Built to be used, loved, cherished, and kept, all of Blair’s pieces have an old-world sturdiness that you rarely see in today’s all to frequent buy-destroy-repurchase cycle. He and his wife have a governing rule they live by where they buy and own only what they love, no matter what the item. I started woodworking pretty crudely. I also spent a lot of time in metal working shops and a few cabinet shops. Those times really stand out to me because I learned a lot of things in a job that I really didn’t like. I was in art school studying drawing and sculpture full time and working this business full time, all while struggling to support a family. (continued above) Very much so.
SCULPTURE Public Art Concepts - Dan Sternof Beyer 2011 Download the PDF of these ideas : Public Art Concepts - Dan Sternof Beyer 2011 (2mb) [ New American Public Art ] Lying on a Giant Bubble Last week, Alice told us about Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno's interactive installation called Cloud Cities. The display consists of twenty clear orbs of varying sizes being suspended at different heights. Within each orb is a different organic material like water or plant life. New photos have emerged which show its real appeal - viewers can interact with all of the bubbles! If you're in Berlin, you can climb into an orb yourself because Cloud Cities will be at the Hamburger Bahnof (Museum of Contemporary Art) until January 15, 2012.

When art meets taxidermy Art & Design Shocking but mesmerising artworks by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. The World's Most Complex Architectural Columns Architect and programmer Michael Hansmeyer has undertaken a most ambitious project, designing an incredibly ornate and complex column with over 16 million individual facets! Hansmeyer has taken his initiative beyond the computer design phase and actually fabricated a full-scale 2.7 meter (8.8 ft) column made from stacked cardboard sheets. Check out the pics and information below for more details on this fascinating exploration. The project involves the conception and design of a new column order based on subdivision processes. An abstracted doric column is used as an input form to the subdivision processes. The input form is tagged to allow the subdivision process to distinguish between individual components. The result is a series of columns that exhibit both highly specific local conditions as well as an overall coherency and continuity. A full-scale, 2.7-meter high variant of the columns is fabricated as a layered model using 1mm sheet.

Dalton Ghetti, 49, a Bridgeport artist, has spent 25 good years working with a razor blade, a sewing needle and a sculpting knife for carving his unique art on the graphite of pencil. The artist says: I don’t make money from it but I would love a gallery owner in England to fly me over and put on a show. The inclination to fashion something new did not surface all of a sudden.
Galerie Louis Carré & Cie | Artistes | Thomas Huber Thomas Huber est né en 1955 à Zurich. Il vit et travaille en Allemange, près de Düsseldorf. Il a certes mis au point un langage avec ses codes, mais chaque nouvelle série d’œuvres apporte de nouvelles propositions et de nouvelles interrogations. Extrait de la préface de Jean-Hubert Martin, catalogue de l’exposition Science-Fiction à la galerie Louis Carré & Cie: ... Vous remarquerez que pour une des premières fois elle n’est pas accompagnée d’un discours. Imaginez que vous n’êtes plus seulement dans une de ses peintures, mais que vous déambulez ainsi de salle en salle, comme dans un énorme château où le maître des lieux aurait ménagé cette incroyable séquence d’ambiances ludiques…
