paper art

really amazing paper sculptures by Calvin Nicholls.  Creates a really interesting visual experience.  Really fine craft with paper which is quite admirable.  Check it out.

talk about pushing media

Miina Akkijyrkka (don't ask me how you pronounce it! I wish I knew) creates sculptures from junked cars.  I couldn't find her bio, but her work relates to rural life and cows.  She creates new cows from old cars. 

UGGH I love seeing sculptures that engage space and the viewer

Takes installation to a new level.  Merging the experience of an installation with nature, Ro-Ad architecture firm creates the Moses Bridge.  Subjective experience for the viewer.  Each person sees differently and experiences reflections differently, based on their vision and height, etc.  Reminiscent of Donald Judd's installation of mill aluminum works in Marfa. 

I can get away with this one. They aren't books! theyre skateboards

More recycled art.  Taking materials out of context, redefining and creating new visual language.  Very interesting.  Haroshi is a Japanese artist who takes skateboards and stacks them like a wooden mosaic.  Taking his passion from childhood and transferring it into the art world. 

Outdoor sculpture

Art that engages the public.  It forces one to become part of the work and experience it only through direct sensory contact.  The artist brings about an emotional experience as well, as the sensation of being elevated comes into the work.  Heike Mutter is an amazing designer and sculptor.

ok just one more book art

Robert The creates sculptures as well from recycled books.  One of his series involves making guns from books. It is interesting to see the Bible carved into a gun.  I really like his Duchamp though.  Check it out.  Creating contra-rational exhibitions and objects

can't save his pictures so here is a link.  http://www.bookdust.com/

Long Bin-Chen

More recycled book art! so awesome to use materials already produced and redefine them.  Bin-Chen creates sculptures by carving into phone books.  Creating 3 dimensions from objects typically associated with 2...as well as the abstractness of words bringing about form.
