The following pictures were taken at the Dia:Beacon, one of the Dia Art Foundation‘s residencies in the state of New York. They have an impressive collection of iconic pieces of art, and each artist has their own room inside their wonderful building, the former Nabisco box printing facility built in 1929.

Aldo Giannotti, ‘Lonely’ (2007)
A sound installation at the Venice Biennial.
During 3 days in June 2007 Gianotti went to the technical room of the Arsenale after the closing hour of the Venice Biennale. Every evening, sitting in front of the central microphone for one hour, he sang the song “Mr. Lonely” (by Bobby Vinton), which was transmitted over speakers all across the deserted exhibition halls.
Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone…
Pauline Bastard, ‘Over the rainbow’ (2009)
A lot of her works are videos that I can’t show you here, because her website’s so Flashy… so go there.
Lenka Clayton, ‘Repairing Lebanon’ (2007)
A series of five digitally repaired images of buildings in Lebanon damaged by the 2006 conflict with Israel
