the power of yes
Nice to see that our yes (we are open) sign has had such pervasive influence in the area - after 6 years, the yes has travelled! These two murals are done along the 80ft side walls of the tunnel (under the BQE) next to the York St F station.

Sagmeister and Walsh collaborated with renowned Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimiza and created two large typographic messages to sit on the facing walls - both hand painted by Coby Kennedy.

poised
Just fantastic!
Paul Cocksedge's CAPTURE SHOW at Friedman Benda 515 W26th St
September 12th - October 12th
Poised has the grace and suppleness of paper. Rolling a sheet of steel like this soon reaches a point just short of where it could not exist as a table; it would simply topple. This led to an intensive process of calculation regarding gravity, mass and equilibrium.
Poised achieves an improbable degree of balance and precision: one millimeter’s horizontal deviance in any direction and the balance would be lost.

seeing clearly
Its reflective pickets, which extend in a straight line, enclose nothing. As Shotz has described her practice, "I'm interested in making objects that change infinitely, depending on their surroundings. The light at different times of day, the weather…what the viewers are wearing, all these are just some of the variables that will make the piece different every time one comes in contact with it. For me an ideal work of art is one that is ultimately unknowable in some way."

underground parking
just caught the exhibition of the LowLine on Essex St - very impressive project for the underground development of the old tram station underneath Delancey St which was abandoned in 1948 - read more here. For some reason the show ended today - early. We were the last people there, nearly getting locked inclick on image to enlarge

pretty fantastic
each 'candle' is an individual unit, comprised of a custom-designed 250-LED panel and circuitry. waldemeyer explained to designboom that he programmed the behaviour of the 'flame' based on video footage of actual candles, converting the moving imagery to pixel data and working with a software engineer to code each individual LED to reflect the movement of the flame, achieving an extremely realistic representation. from a slight distance or in darkened settings, the pixels meld together and the top of the lighting unit disappears, leaving only a virtual flame visible and flickering atop a candle-like form - designboom
