McRib is Back by Jonathan Devis
His teacher told him to take art more seriously… and here is his rebuttal on his final project.
Brilliance.
Good for him. Teachers. Meh.

Roman Singer. Aktion Kurhaus, 1992
Storybook gown constructed entirely out of recycled and discarded children’s Golden Books. Designer Ryan Novelline created the bodice from the golden spines of these classic children’s books and sewed together the skirt from their illustrated pages.

Kiki Smith - Lilith, 1994 - Bronze, silicon, and glass.
“In medieval Jewish lore, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. When she demanded to be Adam’s equal, she was evicted from the Garden of Eden. Lilith flew away to the demon world, replaced by the more submissive Eve. Smith catches us off guard with Lilith’s pose and placement. Most sculptures receive our gaze passively, but Lilith stares back with piercing brown eyes, ready to pounce.”
This is just moving and powerful.

French Artist Michel Blazy Plays With Foam in a Monastery
A medieval monastery located a stone’s throw away from the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, Le Collège des Bernardins, is a beautifully renovated Cistercian monument dating from 1248 that once served as an intellectual center where monks, teachers, and students lived and worked. Today it stands as a Catholic institution regularly featuring contemporary art exhibitions and conferences, while conducting research on religion and the arts.
It is in this setting that French contemporary artist, Michel Blazy, presents a tongue-in-cheek contrast of an installation of ephemeral nature, a work that is impossible to preserve, in a revered site of admirable architectural and historical conservation.

Iranian artist Farhad Moshiri’s latest installation titled ‘Life is Beautiful’, was created using hundreds of knives stabbed directly into a gallery wall. The use of everyday objects, which on occasion can become lethal weapons, reveals the underlying sarcastic ambiguity of Farhad’s statement. | via
If this is the same person who we went to that weird, new gallery to see, where the work was painfully boring and sterile I am going to feel hella cheated.

Why don’t I make things like this any more? Because it felt tired? Because it is creepy to give these to people as they don’t always understand that you just don’t need more things around the house but you feel compelled to make more things?
I do plan on having a month where I just go through ALL the old art and give it away.
Tonight my Tumblr is all about focus month themes I should do.
Sorting through the magpie nest of old emails, transferring the shiniest bits to the magpie nest of Tumblr. Because that is what it is for. (Hat tip to BZedan for the original share.)
It took me until this morning to remember the original share, it was the feathers and the stove, right?
