Stained Glass House | Tom Fruin

Tom Fruin is an artist known for his talent of converting reclaimed materials into brilliant art installations. As part of DUMBO Arts Festival, the artist installed his famous plexiglass house, Kolonihavehus, in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The multi-colored house was lit from inside and temporarily inhabited by performance duo CoreAct who engaged in a collaborative physical performance. After the end of the festival the installation remained in situ for visitors to and citizens to enjoy the colorful plays of light.

Organic Growth Pavilion | Izaskun Chinchilla

The Organic Growth Pavilion is predicated on two simple, yet profound, ideas: adopt architectural and structural principles from the morphology of adaptive plants and organisms, and source all components from secondhand and recycled materials. The proposed design employs commonly found materials, giving them a new life after they have become unfit for their original purpose. Structural framing is consisted of used umbrellas, stools and tripods while it is inspired by nature and more specifically by the morphology of the hydrangea. Shading devices were built out of umbrella tops and recycled bicycle wheels

Tomás Saraceno: Entangled Orbits

From October 1, 2017 — February 24, 2019

Architect Tomás Saraceno uses iridescent panels, spider webs, and inflatable orbs in three fascinating sculptures on view. Entangled Orbits, transforms the East Lobby with clusters of iridescent-paneled modules held in place by strings reminiscent of a spider web. Appearing somewhat like bubbles, these spherical modules evoke the artist’s visionary plans for “cloud cities,” which look to naturally occurring forms for inspiration and might provide environments for future human habitation. Similarly, the intricate spider web of ropes refers to a natural structure that encompasses the qualities of strength, beauty, and flexibility.

Astonishing Murals Installation by Fat Heat

The technique shown here is called CelloGraff and was invented by two French graffiti artists Astro and Kanos. By using cellophane, no damage is done to buildings or structures, and no laws are broken. This makes street art and the freedom to creatively express oneself easier to promote in a responsible way.

Paths Properly Told (2018), Karla Black

Karla Black is a Scottish sculptor who creates abstract three-dimensional artworks that explore the physicality of materials as a way of understanding and communicating the world around us.

Paths Properly Told and Unlike, glass panels shaped like car windows (there with the associations again), one corner smoothed off, embedded into a floor-based pedestal of fingered clay. Between these glass sheets, Black has played with different pigments; in the latter, Tan-coloured foundation dribbles while circles of baby blue, lemon yellow and pale pink rise through the pane, some appearing as amorphous blobs that engulf others. The artist doesn’t differentiate between traditional media such as paint, plaster and clay and more quotidian matter including eye shadow, Vaseline, lipstick, cotton wool and toilet paper – and she rejects any Feminising discourse on these materials.

Cellophane adding

With the help of my cats, I was able to glue the pieces together, so that i was able to work on the wire more effectively.

The Colour Path by Jacqueline Macartney

The Colour Path is a spatial, sculptural installation work, created for the diverse public audience. My aim was to create an interactive work on a large scale which demonstrates the pervious landowners. I wanted it to resemble an animal that I find once quite common in the area, the ibis.

 I took inspiration from a quote that I found from researching possible creative appreciation ideas. The quote goes as follows, “The gift of the Australian White Ibis to other birds, plants and animals is the message it brings: ‘I am here because my home environment is no longer adequate for my needs’” which describes how the early settlers transformed the area, that was previously an area was used for hunting, fishing and Corroboree.  

 Why I chose an ibis? Researching about these comical joked birds, I have found that there is more then to be expected about these unique creatures. Through aboriginal readings I have found that there is a spiritual aspect towards the creatures for example, ‘When this creature presented itself to you it probably wants to tell you that there is a harmonious relationship in connection to your surroundings.’ ‘Teaches us to searching for answers on secrets.’ ‘you need a guide on decision.’ ‘Ibis is a warning that searching for answer will not be that easy.’ ‘Perfecting time to pass life with flying colours’ when looking at these key sentences it reminds me of the meaning of a location that I would like display my work.

 Kulgun is the Turrbal aboriginal name meaning path or road and was named to represent the linking of parks between McCaskie and Victoria Park. Originally, Kulgun Park made up part of the area known by early setters as York’s hollow, after a local aboriginal leader they called the ‘Duke of York’, and was considered of significance to the Turrbal people. Until European pioneer settled Brisbane ‘York’s hollow’ extended from the present-day exhibition ground and lower Victoria Park and included the Kelvin grove urban village, Organised to mock battles with other nearby groups and other ceremonial occasions.

 The artwork is a metal dia. Gal tie wire, shaped in an outline of an ibis, the inside of the hollow shape is three primary coloured cellophanes. This work will be presented at the height of 7ft but is adjustable when required for cleaning. Being displayed at this height the sun will be able to catch the cellophane lenses and be able to picture the ibis with different colourations. I used primary coloured cellophane (blue, yellow, and red) to influence the saturation of the sun as it represents a shadow effect on Kulgun park. I desired to use cellophane because unlike the wire this is a fragile yet vibrant material that I believe convey a meaning of adaptability towards nature.

 I would like my installation to be displayed in a large space for example in Kulgun park, kelvin grove, because I believe that this location is best fit with the cultural aspects of the park. The Colour Path, will be a temporary installation where the audience will experience the work from 19th to the 28th of October recommended viewing between lunch time 10am-4pm, during this time period, you undergo the full sundial effect of the work, where you watch the ibis fly from one end of the park to the next creating a path through the immersive shadow.  I want the audience to interpret and interact with the work by posting the mirroring shadow on the internet so that it even when not knowing of the aboriginal aspects of the land that they see that you don’t need to be and the location to respect the context.

Week 9- Flying Narrative

The artwork that I would like to be displaying is a wired ibis with cellophane. I would like to place them, at Ibis island or Kulgun park. The idea is to make them about 2585cm, 8.5ft, 258.5m in height, and 1205cm, 12.5m in width. So that depending on the sun it will shine different shades of the cellophane on the grass floor below. I wanted the work to demonstrate in interest within the environment, to be aware of it surrounds, and be respectful of the animals that inhabit the land that we are walking on.

Physical Task 1.9 Site-works

The task this week was to be paired again but restricted to a theme and location. 

How theme was (Balance claims) which sounds very financesi?

With my group member I think we did a great job with the theme and location, we used wire the connect everything and added paper, clay flying seeds. 

The idea was falling seed pods. it works in my opinion, I think we did great.

relationship between human and nature in her art.

The Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist Rose Wei — who works under the pseudonym Zhu Ohmu — unveils a unique interpretation of machine methods. For the ceramic “Plantsukuroi” collection, the process of the 3D printer has been mimicked by hand.

Ceramic vessels are usually stacked, folded, pressed and pulled to fit programmed measurements during the 3D printing process. Contradistinction, through the more tactile medium of hand-crafting, Rose was able to create each piece with abnormalities and a greater involvement in the crafting process.

“This insight into plasticity and work-ability, which can only be obtained by spending time with the physical matter through play and observation, allows me to work with and manipulate the material. In the absence of firmware or a mechanical process, no two vessels can be the same — this project is a celebration of the artist’s hand in the age of automation.” explains Rose.

Her lack of training in ceramics emphasizes the experimentation in her process — resulting in the organic forms of each vessel. When using these techniques, Rose reveals that breakage usually occurs during the final stages. Yet these imperfections are significant as the final accents. The abnormalities add a charming personality to each individual object and embrace the Japanese philosophy of wasabi — the acceptance of transience and imperfection.

“Further research inspired the project to adopt the practice of kintsukuroi — the art of mending broken pottery with gold lacquer. As the name of the project suggests, plant life is used instead to fill and embellish the cracks; subsequently the works becomes living organisms and will grow and evolve for years to come.”
