Feel the rainbow! Artist Gabriel Dawe is showing his incredible new installation that just opened to the public last October 6 in Como, Italy. As part of Miniartextil, an annual exhibition of contemporary art, Dawe created Plexus no. 19, a stunning thread installation that’s beautifully spread across two balconies in the atrium of a historic villa. The early 19th century neoclassic house, called Villa Olmo, was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como and is now open to the public only during cultural events and art exhibitions like this. This year’s Miniartextil exhibition is called Agora, taking from the Greek word that describes an important public place where people come to share ideas. The visitor is invited to not just look at the artwork but to be actively involved in it. The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Tattoo Quotes Readers of this lens have sent to me a number of great tattoo quotes. Here are some of my favorite I share with you. This list is ever growing. If you want to see your tattoo quote listed here, just send it to me or leave it above in the comments section. Anything is possible. Dream as if you live forever.

The best thing to do behind a person’s back is to pat it. A friend is someone who reaches for your hand, but touches your heart. Mistakes don’t define you, they don’t dictate where you are heading, they only remind you of where you have been. Don’t let your past get in the way of your future.

Banksy tags LA As the 2011 Oscar ceremony approaches, speculation has been rife about whether anonymous British street artist Banksy will make an appearance. He's certainly been making his presence felt on the streets of LA. Take this twisted portrayal of Hollywood life that was found embellishing a poster on Sunset Boulevard. It's Mickey and Minnie as you've never seen them before. Mickey and Minnie were taken down pretty quickly (probably to sell for a small fortune). The reason for all this furore is that Banksy made a documentary about street artists called Exit Through the Gift Shop, and it snagged a Oscar nod. The Oscar nomination isn't a big problem, unless you're a highly successful graffiti artist who travels incognito, often sporting a monkey mask. As a result, Banksy was first uninvited, then reinvited. to respect the night and respect the honour.' Some more of Banksy's LA work below. 2011 Feb 25 44 responses. share this Back to articles
