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.
Olivier Maarschalk is participating in WHAT’S THE POINT OF GIVING YOU ANY MORE ARTISTS? which opens coming Friday at eight.

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…
Johannes Vogl, Ohne Titel (Marmeladenbrotstreichmaschine) / Untitled (Machine to produce jam breads) (2007)
Ferdinand ‘Postman’ Cheval’s ‘ideal castle’.
Cheval began the building in April 1879. He claimed that he had tripped on a stone and was inspired by its shape. He returned to the same spot the next day and started collecting stones.
For the next 33 years, during his daily mail route, Cheval carried stones from his delivery rounds and at home used them to build his Palais idéal, the Ideal Palace. First he carried the stones in his pockets, then a basket and eventually a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp.
Cheval spent the first two decades building the outer walls. The Palace is a mix of different styles with inspirations from the Bible to Hindu mythology. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement.

This is a picture of the apple ’species’ that Billy Apple is growing in New Zealand. A spotless, perfectly red apple that’s supposed to hit a grocery store near you sometime in the coming years…

‘I see a landscape’ (2004 – 2009) by Germaine Kruip

There’s a short video of the work below.
‘25 woodworms, wood, microphone, sound system’, a very nice work by Swiss sound-artist Zimoun.
