As we’re big-time magazine lovers over here, we were happy to stumble upon these gigantic sculptures created with dozens of magazines in this amazing installation by Scottish artist David Mach. The gigantic three-dimensional works, from mid 80s, look like enormous streams of mud or lava, swallowing everything it passes, objects like  TVs, statues, pianos and even[...]

The Works of Beni Bischof

August 24, 2012 | posted in Art, Installations | by | Leave a comment

Brilliant and hilarious set of works by Swiss artist Beni Bischof, who made this large variety of weird stuff. Fashion ads disrupted by fingers, floating cars without windows, multiple eyed cats and a church that suddenly transformed into a jet. For more great stuff you should really visit his website.

‘The Humping Pact‘ is a very odd avantgarde video installation and series of live performances by Diego Agullo and Dmitry Paranyushkin. In the installation we see dozens of naked men, ‘humping’ just everything, in order to give value to useless and abandoned places and to celebrate the human body.

Julien Berthier ‘A Lost’

April 28, 2012 | posted in Art, Installations, Objects, Sculptures | by | Leave a comment

‘A Lost’ is another brilliant artwork by French artist Julien Berthier. Julien is a pretty well known artist, always making art with a humorous twist, like for example his ‘Balcon Additionnel‘ series, where he ads a balcony to all kinds of buildings, ‘Le Paradoxe de Robinson‘ a mechanical tropical island, and ‘Love Love‘ the famous sinking[...]
