Journée des barricade

Car wrecks, discarded furniture and bulky items of any kind barricaded a central city street in Wellington, New Zealand on Sunday 14th December 2008, from midnight to midnight. This rather gorgeous intervention was created by British artists Heather and Ivan Morison as part of the One Day Sculpture series.

The life-sized LEGO forest

The legendary LEGO pine trees and flowers are currently part of an exhibition in the Australian outback. However, life-sized in a unique reserve called »Living Desert« in Broken Hill. The reason is that LEGO is celebrating 50 years in Australia. The impressive installation will now remain in Broken Hill’s red dust plains and blue skies of far-western NSW until July 12. More images can be found here.

Wave

Adam Niklewicz loves the humorous irritation, a piece of sausage that is shaped into the sign of infinity as well as an orange oil paint on a piece of bread or a curling wave that gathers in the midst of a calm carpet ready to break.

Visitors Tunnel

Markus Linnenbrink was commissioned to paint the visitors tunnel at the new JVA (prison) in Düsseldorf, Germany. »Visitor access (for family, lawyers, police…) has to be under ground by law in newly constructed prisons in Germany. This tunnel covers the 40 m (about 132 feet) between the security check in the front building and the visitors area in one of the inner prison buildings«, it says on the website.

The Social Network

»The Social Network« by Nicolas Ritter is a series of amusing photographic illustrations about facebook specific vocabulary and staging of banal things in social networks. The artistic expressions and the highly ironic statement is simply great.

Little Big City

Architecture, portraits and a good sense for the special moments in life: Ralf Barthelmes is at the moment one of the most active Frankfurt-chronologists for contemporary history and on top of this a great photographer. Visit his personal homepage »Little Big City«, a hometown blog as he says.
