The Tale of the Wall Habitants

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Denigirl

PRIČA O STANOVNICIMA ZIDA – kratkometražni film Andreja Boke iz Subotice, do sada je dobio 12 nagrada.

“Snimci prozora i vrata jesu zabeleženi arhitektonski detalji koje subotičani i novosađani mogu da vide svakog dana u svojoj okolini , naravno pod uslovom da dobro gledaju, i potrude se da vide. Autor nam je ovim filmom podario kvalitetne 3d naočare. Velika naša sramota jeste što većina ovih prelepih građevina, zajedno sa svim neprocenjivim detaljima podleže sve više zubu vremena.”

The conflict between doors and windows is threatening to escalate.

Nick Cave, Soundsuits, 2013

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Denigirl

Original and otherworldly, Nick Cave’s art blends the boundaries between sculpture, costume, video, dance and public performance in unexpected ways.

The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) continues its growing contemporary art program with three never-before-seen Nick Cave Soundsuits made especially for this exhibition, alongside an immersive film projection.

Cave’s humanoid Soundsuit sculptures are built from a diverse bricolage of found objects and materials collected by the artist, including twigs, sisal, beads, sequins and feathers. When worn, Cave’s Soundsuits take on a larger-than-life dimension, obscuring the wearer’s identity, gender and class and unleashing the sculpture’s kinetic potential.

Cave was born in Fulton, Missouri, in 1959. He lives and works in Chicago where he is a professor of fashion design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The three Soundsuits featured in this exhibition are among the last that the artist intends to create. Cave, who since the early 1990s has created more than 500 Soundsuits, plans to explore new artistic avenues.

The UFO houses of Sanjhih, Taiwan

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Denigirl

The UFO houses of Sanjhih -as they were nicknamed- was an abandoned building project in the Sanzhi district of the New Taipei City in Taiwan. The futuristic buildings were intended to be a vacation resort marketed towards the US military officers coming from their East Asian postings.

Construction begun in 1978 but the project was abandoned 2 years later, due to investment losses and several car accident deaths during construction. Legend has it that the accidents were result of the blasphemus act of bisecting the Chinese dragon sculpture located near the resort gates for widening the road to the buildings.

After the resort’s abandonemend, the UFO houses became a tourist attraction due to their architecture. There were plans for conservation of at least one of the structures but between late 2008 – early 2009, all building were demolished to make room for a commercial redevelopment of the area.
