Collaborative Public Art-Money Tree
"in several wooded areas around the UK, passersby have been stopping for decades (if not centuries), meticulously hammering small denomination coins intro trees." more
I think that to create collaborative works like these in the past you always needed a religious edge to turn it into a tradition or a ritual. I find the above practice very beautiful, and I feel public art works in today's cities are really lacking where this is succeeding. Our culture certainly doesn't embrace the sacred very well in a public sphere.
thanks Kbay. who has a sweet gimmebar which is a cool new everyone should check out. here

The US Pavilion at the Venice Biennale features works by Allora & Calzadilla. The museum sponsoring the pavilion is the fabulous and amazing team at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where I interned for a year. The show sounds really good, but let me refer you to artinfo's Andrew Goldstein for coverage. here.

Daniel Eatock, Wall Shelves Supported by the Objects they Bear. Objects are chosen to make the shelves equally spaced.
This work reminds me of an installation I have mentioned earlier by Pereda (below) where the contents become the structure.

Robert Brown
Billionaire's Monument, 2011.
A monument of living billionaires and their expected date of death. This is a pretty poetic concept; using a monument to remind us that billionaires are just people, and their money won't matter in the end.

Two New Pieces of Mine
I won't bombard you with personal information on this blog, but I've been making a lot of art again and I wanted to tell the interwebs...
This is a wax cast of an architectural star. These stars can be found on old brick buildings, I am unsure if they were decorative or actually served a function. I know that they are on the end of long rods that basically held the brick walls to the foundation so they wouldn't fall off. As building construction changed, these cast iron stars fell out of use, I hope to find a wall to do an installation of these.
This is a planter that will be hung when the grass is a little more established. I like that in the winter this piece will be dirt and green astroturf, and every spring it will look something like this...
Check out more work on my website.
Empty Set Projects
BIG SALE (set 5)
experimental gallery Empty Set Projects in Massachusetts reaches out to a wider audience through their window space... Reminiscent of Chashama, this is nice because the work is unexpected, changing, and subversive, all in ways similar to graffiti.

Jason deCaires Taylor
Jason deCaires Taylor creates artificial reefs/underwater installation art with figurative cement sculptures.
I am not a huge fan of the sculptures, but because they become living organisms I am very interested.
