"the james fuentes llc gallery in new york is hosting the project 'wares' by william stone. The artist plays with the creation of his chairs: by combining parts, switching elements, mixing different models, he explores issues on functionality and art.
march 3th - march 31th, 09

the artist william stone lives and works in new york, NY." added on 2009-03-20

"Often my material choice is made to contradict an aspect of an image and strives towards a realistic depiction of the image. A mushroom cloud is fluffy like synthetic cotton, yet a Poly-fil mushroom cloud becomes fun and cozy.

The ephemeral beauty of a mushroom cloud frightens me, how it floats for a minute, delicate and blooming, yet remains chaotic and utterly destructive. I experience a contradiction between what my eyes enjoy and what my mind knows."

"Pizza Boxes, a McDonald's bag, Flags, Desserts and Toilet Paper rolls... when these items become artworks, they also easily become political, maybe because they are taken from daily life. But if you find unexpected shapes and colors from the toilet rolls, they become something else."

"Flooded McDonald's is a film work by Superflex in which a convincing life-size replica of the interior of a McDonald's burger bar, without any customers or staff present, gradually floods with water. Furniture is lifted up by the water, trays of food and drinks start to float around, electrics short circuit and eventually the space becomes completely submerged."

Flooded McDonald's is on view at The South London Gallery through March 1, 2009.

"University of Wisconsin art student Hongtao Zhou's "Ice & Snow Furniture Raised From Lake Mendota" is the ultimate in recyclable furniture. "They connect the lake, the land, the air and the people and complete a life cycle with minimum environmental impact," explains Zhou. And it is, of course, perfectly fine to dump the furniture back into the lake once it starts getting warm out." added on 2009-02-05

British artist Willard Wigan's sculptures are so small that he
needs to use a microscope.
Tiny people and buildings are "carved from grains of sand and painted using the hair of a fly."

Wigan says:
"The stillness of it is very important -- you have to control the whole nervous system, you have to work between the heartbeat -- the pulse of your finger can destroy the work."

"'Wasted Youth' consists of a set of shelves filled with objects and items associated with the pleasures and excesses of adolescence. In the way the objects are assembled, certain of which having been cut into or peeled back, and through the positive and negative space of perspective, appears the image of an oversized skull." added on 2009-01-07
