Olivier Maarschalk, ‘Memories from the future’

During a lonely stay in Finland, Maarschalk asked his mother, girlfriend and roommate to pick a date and time in the future, on which they expected him and themselves to still be alive. For each person he made a drawing that shows the exact curve in which the sun enters his studio on that specific time. The drawings were sent to each participant by post.

Artis Den Bosch has been one of the best artists initiatives around. What a shame!

‘Relocated houses, Brittons yard’ (2009) by Lara Almarcegui.

On the outskirts of the city of Wellington (NZ) there is a weird collection of houses. The houses are moved there from different places and on display, waiting to be sold (housemoving is a common occurance in New Zealand). The result is a ghost-town like street with empty buildings, some in state of disrepair.

Lara Almarcegui traced the roots of each building in this street. For the One Day Sculpture project she created a tour and a catalogue showing the individual stories and memories connected to each house. By inviting people to visit the yard with her one evening, Almarcegui coaxes us to look not simply at what these buildings are but why and how they are here, and in turn to speculate on the processes of change in our environment.

‘Enron, the smartest guys in the room’, by Alex Gibney

A combination that put both films in a different perspective. The documentary on the rise and fall of this American super-company was completely sickening..

Martin Boyle, Untitled (2008)

Click the picture to see the video.

Martin Boyle produces work that is both playful and performative. He re-presents mass produced quirky objects and packaging in multiple forms to the viewer through video installation and sculptural pieces. His work highlights a preoccupation with ideas of value, or lack off, through his use of packaging and consumer goods…
