This video documents Rime’s latest trip down to Miami for last years Art Basel. Taking on a long stretch of space, Rime attempts to expand on a repetitive theme popular among graffiti bombers.
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

Bobby Neel Adams: Agemaps
9 Feb
New York-based photographer Bobby Neel Adams addresses the effects of the passage of time with his recent project ‘agemaps’. A collection of photographs showing the same person at two points within their life demonstrates the affects of aging upon the human body, reminding us of our mortality. the images are printed at the same proportions and hand spliced to create a dual representation of the person across decades.
‘The point at which the images are physically torn together becomes the boundary line (or bridge) between decades of passing time, to me they provide an eerie life-map, staring towards our future.’ – bobby neel adams

The sequence reveals a narrative concerning oceanic plastics from initial attraction and attempted ingestion, to the ultimate death of sea creatures and representing the disturbing statistics of dispersed plastics having
no boundaries.
All the plastics photographed have been salvaged from beaches around the world and represent a global collection of debris that has existed for varying amounts of time in the world’s oceans.
The captions record the plastic ingredients in each image providing the viewer with the realisation and facts of what exists in the sea.
'soup: refused' ingredients: plastic oceanic debris affected by the chewing and attempted ingestion by animals, including a toothpaste tube additives: teeth from animals
'soup: bird's nest' ingredients: discarded fishing line that have formed nest-like balls due to tidal and oceanic movement additives: other debris collected in its path

Earth Laughs in Flowers by David Lachapelle

David Lachapelle: Earth Laughs in Flowers
Fred Torres collaborations, New York City, usa
February 23rd until March 24th, 2012
American photographer David Lachapelle has created ‘Earth Laughs in Flowers’, a series consisting of the ten large-scale still life photographs. The collection will be on display at fred torres collaborations in new york city and will be the first exhibition of these works in the united states.
Lachapelle’s installation explores the fragility of society and ideas of vice and vanity through composing his images in a manner typical to that of baroque still life painting. deviating from the inclusion of solely fruit, flowers and sculls, the artist evokes a contemporary sensibility through his use of items such as pre-packaged foods, mobile phones, medicine, balloons, and barbie dolls. rather than being constructed in an especially balanced composition, lachapelle’s massive painterly-like photographs are intentionally chaotic, engaging the viewer as he/she attempt to reconcile the overwhelming canvas.
The artist conceived the title for the exhibition from the poem ‘hamatreya’ by ralph waldo emerson, in which the author explores the notion of flowers being the expression of nature’s hatred of human ignorance and desire to control the earth. subsequently, each work is named according to the cycles of both seasons and life.
‘Where are these men? asleep beneath their grounds:
and strangers, fond as they, their furrows plough.
earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;
who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet,
clear of the grave.’-Ralph Waldo Emerson
