"My research is focused on human shape and on symbolic aspects trying to counterpose visible and invisible. I research the submerge part of human being, his psychophysical structure."

Drawing and its market

In Paris, three drawing fairs (Le Salon du dessinDrawing Now and DDESSIN) focus on a medium of prime importance to art history, but unfortunately still somewhat overshadowed by painting, sculpture and even photography. In recent years, however, drawing has enjoyed a significant increase in demand due firstly to a number of superb exhibitions devoted to its various forms and secondly to the growing interest of collectors in this type of art.

Observingarts: Clive Hambidge

Came across this guy on my virtual wanderings. 

For some reason his pictures keep bugging me:
Is this technical drawings - of what? Or a symbol - of what? 
Or some kind of visual code - for what?
Art in the digital age, definitively different!
So was Piet Mondrian - in his time. 

The beauty of it - quite striking.

Observingarts: Do we see refugees as a ressource in art?

Art is the tears of pain - or can be. There is enormous amounts of suffering going on right now, just outside our front door as refugees pour into Europe. So, (how) does this situation of stress come forward in the expression of art? 
Maybe it is to early, maybe we are to blind to see, maybe it is not time for art in the midst of all the suffering or maybe we have not yet set a scene for this?

I want to promote this initiative by Exile: The Refuge Art project (RAP):

Observingarts: Pipilotti Rist: The Shimmering Solution - The Tender Pixel Storm.


Pipilotti Rist: The Shimmering Solution - The Tender Pixel Storm
Installation with printed backlit screens, 1200 m2, Statoil, Fornebu, Oslo (2011)

I came across this monument the other day. The architecture of a-lab - "Five elements" - is so strikin it hardly allows for integration of artwork in the exterior. You are inside before you really have gotten to see Rist's enormous installation. Gazing to the sky from the ground in a transit area is awkward and leaves you with fractures of what should really be a great experience. The artwork becomes more of a gem for the building than an artwork in its own right. Size is not the only thing that matters.
Get more background on the artist from this short clip made by SF MOMA:
