Xoooox - Stencil Art - Circleculture Gallery
Image by urbanartcore.eu
The second solo exhibition at Circleculture Gallery in Berlin will once again highlight XOOOOX’s critical artistic understanding of fashion culture.
On display are delicate stenciled works and installations in an arte povera style that consist of weathered and decaying materials. In these works XOOOOX distinctly contrasts the glamour of fashion culture with existentialist themes such as vulnerability and transience.
The life-size stencils of professionally styled photo models form the leitmotif of the figurative “studies” and scrutinize the worship cult and the seduction techniques of haute couture.
Beguilingly beautiful, XOOOOX’s women convey a sense of melancholy and introversion and allude to the growing displeasure with the uniform, consumption-driven hype of the fashion industry.

atelier bow-wow, four boxes gallery, krabbesholm højskole, skive, denmark 2009

four boxes gallery, krabbesholm højskole, skive, denmark 2009.
architects: atelier bow-wow, yoshiharu tsukamoto and momoyo kaijima, tokyo.
the 'four boxes' gallery by atelier bow-wow looks like a tribute to utzon's bagsværd church and to the culture it grew out of, making it an obvious place to end the latest line of projects and buildings here. for such a celebration to arrive from abroad came was no surprise - the Danish architecture scene is currently occupied elsewhere - but no-one could have predicted its authors.
no expert on atelier bow-wow, I have nevertheless enjoyed their work from a distance. from the observations of their early books, true bestiaries of the strange buildings that thrive under extreme conditions in tokyo, through their unique drawings, to their quirky houses, they have shown an uncanny ability to make the traditional disciplines of architecture come alive. and despite the formal diversity of their buildings, bordering at times on the whimsical, everything they do appears connected through their unique understanding of the city they live and work in.
yes, the bow-wows are contextualists, but their careful and idiosyncratic readings of places and use have allowed them a great freedom from mimicry so far. and true to the ethics of their approach, none of the charm and quirkiness of their tokyo work is present in the gallery in skive, skive not really being famous for either. but neither is Danish architecture in general, with its historical focus on classicism and typological studies, and its modernist translation of those into prefabrication and system thinking. it does not sound charming when you say it and frankly, it rarely looks charming either. it does however allow for some intellectually exciting architecture with a hidden structure of game-like rules.
the four boxes gallery is just such a building, and its hidden rules are the rules of prefabricated concrete elements, sandwich elements more specifically, meaning fully insulated elements with a concrete finish on both interior and exterior sides. sandwich elements are the work horse of construction in denmark and deal with sound transmission, fire, load and finish all in one piece, and at a good price. only problem being, as an architect, you can hardly do anything with them.
complex geometry is out of the question, the elements are flat. height is limited to about one floor or you couldn't move the pieces under a bridge; as in all prefabrication, the demands made by transportation are the most decisive. you can make the elements long, trucks are long after all. the logic is simple, the resulting buildings tend to be simplistic. yet strict limitations like these attract architects of a certain mindset. utzon was such an architect and so, surprisingly, are the bow-wows. if cheap sandwich elements only let you build boxes, we shall build boxes, they seem to say, and proceed to build the architectural equivalent of a russian matryoshka doll, a box inside a box inside a box inside a box!
while budget was clearly a decisive factor, there is nothing cynical about bow-wow's application of prefab. in the facade, the elements have been turned on the side, and rather than stacking floors, single elements express the changing height of the building like a graph or the LED display on your 1980's HIFI equalizer. the same elements with different reinforcements act as beams and daylight reflectors in the suspended boxes inside, displaying the kind of terse thinking one would have expected from utzon or korshagen back in the day.
the fourth, outer box is a courtyard, a spatial typology central to both Japanese and Danish traditional architecture, and one of the similarities between the two that meant so much to Danish architects working in the 1960's. the bow-wows are contextualists alright, but they acknowledge that reading context is every bit as personal as reading a book - in skive, their reading has produced a house so Danish, it could only have come from japan.

Boston - Back Bay: Boston Public Library McKim Building - Wiggin Gallery Dioramas - George Bellows' Stag at Sharkeys
Image by wallyg
George Bellows, shown in the foreground, watches the boxing match which gave him the subject of his 1917, Stag at Sharkey's. The scene shows a prize fight, known as a ‘stag’, being held at a private club. The boxers are arranged in a strong, pyramid-like composition, recalling classical sculpture. The force of their action is illustrated by interlocking forms and bold diagonal lines. Bellows' lithograph portraying the fight is part of a complete sequence of his prints in the Wiggin Collection.
Located in a dark corner in the Wiggins Gallery, twelve dioramas created by Louis Stimson in the 1940's depict artists in the midst of painting some of their most famous works. The Albert H. Wiggin Gallery, originally devoted to special collections, was given over to the exhibiting of prints in 1941 when Mr. Wiggin, a Boston born New York financier, gave the Library his collection of prints and drawings.
The Boston Public Library McKim Building, located on Boylston Street between Dartmouth and Exeter Streets, was built in 1895 by Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead & White. Consisting of a three-story, monumental free-standing block in the style of an Italian Renaissance palace surrounding an open courtyard, McKim's design was one of the earliest successful examples of Renaissance Beaux-Arts Classicism in America, and set the precedent for grand scale urban libraries. In 1972, the Philip Johnson-designed late modernist wing was added to the Central Library location. The Boston Public Library system, established in 1848, was the country's first publicly supported municipal library, its first large library open to the public and its first to allow citizens to borrow books. There are currently twenty-six branches in the system.

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery - Industrial Gallery - The Soho House Sphinxes
Image by ell brown
Now that I know that you can take photos inside the Birmingham Musuem & Art Gallery, thought I'd go along and take what I wanted (not the paintings).
This is in the part of the museum near Great Charles Street Queensway.
On Friday it opened at 10:30am and I got here just in time before the crowds showed up.
The Industrial Gallery - usually I keep forgetting to go this way.
But then I started in reverse order than usual (Great Charles Street entrance to Chamberlain Square entrance / exit).
Been wanting to take these for a while.
Sure I saw them 3 years ago near the Gas Hall entrance.
The Soho House Sphinxes.
I believe that there are plans to move them back to Soho House, so wanted to get them in the Museum & Art Gallery before they move them.
Made of Carved Portland Stone. Supplied by Edward Gray Saunders in 1795.
Originally they were either side of "Sphinx Walk" in the landscaped garden created at Soho House.
They were up for auction in 2001, and the Birmingham Museum managed to secure a licence to purchase them due to their national importance.
The spinx on the left.
The Industrial Gallery is all in exposed ironwork: seven aisled bays with columns in two tiers, semicircular arcades and cross-arches in the aisles, larger semicircular trusses supporting the roof, all of them exposed I-beams with the rivets prominent. Like a classical version of the Oxford Museum; but the immediate inspiration must be J.H. Chamberlain's Board Schools. Huge pendant gas burners. T-plan staircase of 1893, with a different design of railings.

Firehouse Gallery – plus reflections
Image by origamidon
Church Street, Burlington, Vermont USA • Seen through (and reflected off of) the front window of the Firehouse Gallery.
As the original sign carved into the building says: Ethan•Allen•Engine•Co•No•4 ∞ "Designed by A. B. Fisher, a prolific 19th century Burlington architect, this firehouse ranks as one of the most attractive buildings in downtown Burlington. Built in the heyday of volunteer fire companies, it was completed in the spring of 1889." *
Now operating as The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts , The FCVA provides visitors with a fully-integrated arts experience through contemporary exhibitions and educational programming informed by the work in the Firehouse Gallery. The FCVA includes a community darkroom and photography studio; artist-in-residence studio; multimedia conference facility for lectures, film series, and panel discussions; and Resource Room and Library with public meeting space and Internet access. Burlington City Arts (BCA) opened all five floors of the building in 2004 after an extensive historic renovation, and has yet to complete the .5 million capital campaign. ∞ The Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts is programmed and managed by Burlington City Arts.

Boston - Back Bay: Boston Public Library McKim Building - Wiggin Gallery Dioramas - Honore Daumier
Image by wallyg
Artist Honore Daumier looks down from an upper window in this diorama. A number of the characters who appear in his lithographs come to life again in the Paris street he watches, the melon sniffers at left, the stout, indignant woman who observes them, the man carrying a painting., the problem child who drove his father, a poet, to desperation by beating on his dream, the loiterer who gazes into a shop window at food he does not have money to buy.
Located in a dark corner in the Wiggins Gallery, twelve dioramas created by Louis Stimson in the 1940's depict artists in the midst of painting some of their most famous works. The Albert H. Wiggin Gallery, originally devoted to special collections, was given over to the exhibiting of prints in 1941 when Mr. Wiggin, a Boston born New York financier, gave the Library his collection of prints and drawings.

Sweet, Sweet Galaxy by Pip & Pop
Image by Karen Roe
Smiths Row, The Market Cross, Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1BT
Tel: +44 (0) 1284 762081
We are happy to welcome Australian artists Tanya Schultz, Nicole Andrijevic and John Kassab to Smiths Row in what is their first major British show. Schultz and Andrijevic have worked in collaboration since 2007 using the alias Pip & Pop and this is their second collaboration with sound artist Kassab.
Sweet sweet galaxy is a unique installation depicting an infinite psychedelic landscape. An amalgamation of numerous materials including coloured sugar, fine sand, cake decorations, origami, found objects, LED lights and sound, this colourful sensory kingdom will be constructed directly in the gallery space in early January.
The soundscape, created in collaboration with Melbourne-based John Kassab, adds another layer of immersion to the audience experience and sense of being transported to a faraway or imagined place. Whilst the soundscape adds to the narrative of the imagined landscape, interpreting the sounds with sugar has been central to Pip & Pop's process when working with John.
The sugar used in this exhibition has been kindly donated by Silverspoon. As the sole producers of homegrown British sugar the company supports 1200 East Anglian beet farmers. According to Dan Gough of Silverspoon: "the sugar used in this exhibition was grown an average of 30 miles away from the gallery".
