Go David. Via Booooooom!

You have probably seen this by now, it’s been around. But I wanted to make sure. I think Wunderkammer was one of the first to post it, but regardless she certainly is one of the best posts on it, which discourages any inclination I might have to riff. I simply point you to the link below.

ROA!’s images of piled up critters are interesting, but none moreso than the ones of rats. Taking a normally endearing animal image, the “puppy pile”, and applying to a reviled beast, provokes the kind of thought I like to entertain.
Wait – they are asleep, aren’t they???

Gantner’s work has turned up in a couple of my online hangouts lately. I’d like to know more about the post production of these images. I see editing credit (Flammarion in France, Jacoby & Stuart in Germany) but I think that may refer more to the publications. Speaking of which, Christmas hint.

This print is available at Little Paper Planes, and it would make me better every time I would look at it. Hint. It would be a nice change from looking at her wonderful wonderful work on my computer screen. Though I’d still have to loiter there too, because it is LOADED with beauty. See:

This Wooster post drew me in, and I followed the link to the Flickr account from whence it came, then I sought information from the profile, fruitlessly, then through Google, also fruitlessly.

Light artists Jan Wollert and Jorg Miedza are currently featured in the Telegraph’s Culture Picture Galleries. The ‘graph notes that the duo, who work as LAPP-PRO, spend months preparing the shots, which are produced through precise choreography and very long exposures. More detail than that, and they’d have to kill you, citing the secrecy of magic as they clamp their yaps shut.

Jen Grant collects garbage, and with it, sculpts political commentary in public spaces. The projects are pleasing, sometimes by virtue of their materials (a hammock made of jewelry!), sometimes by virtue of their inventiveness (chairs turned into steps up and over a fence), and sometimes by virtue of their environment (a swing hanging from the Botanic Gardens bridge), but always by virtue of their politics, expressing notions about freedom, waste and capitalism.
Learned of her at Wooster Collective. See her work, read her ideas:

You may feel, as I did, completed by the homepage alone, pictured above. However, you will be rewarded if you, as I did, turn the page and check out some of his lovely work. Well worth being treated like shit by total assholes, imho.
