Photographer Luc Busquin - I’ve always had a passion for the sky. Kites, gliders, airplanes, rockets, clouds, and stars have captivated me ever since I can remember. Today, as a professional pilot, I am fortunate to experience the sky from within, to see the world below from that vantage point.
Short Bio - Luc Busquin is a fine art photographer and a professional pilot. He has pursued his interest in photography and his fascination for the sky since childhood, uniting these passions now to create a unique vision of the world above us and its relationship to the land below. Luc was born in Belgium in 1973, where he lived until 2002. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and two children. His photographic work consists mostly of skyscapes, landscapes, and urbanscapes.
mark reigelman: manifest destiny!
‘manifest destiny!’ by mark reigelman in collaboration with jenny chapman and paul endres photos by cesar rubio photography
brooklyn-based artist mark reigelman, in collaboration with architect jenny chapman and engineer paul endres, have conceived ‘manifest destiny!’, an installation which seeks out areas of unclaimed territory for establishing a new home front in the remaining voids of san francisco, california.
the project is a temporary rustic cabin which has been affixed to the hotel des arts, above and between other properties in the city’s downtown core. floating approximately 40 feet in the air above the restaurant le central, the work stands as an anomalous-like outgrowth of the contemporary streetscape. the structure, which measures approximately W7 x D8 x H11 feet, takes on a 19th-century architectural style. constructed from vintage building materials - it has a welded aluminium frame, with an exterior finished with 100 year-old reclaimed barn board from ohio - the dwelling is meant to be an homage to the romantic spirit of the western myth and a commentary on the arrogance of westward expansion. three curtained windows, allow the interior space of the petite abode to be seen day and night, standing as a lonely beacon in the city’s dense landscape. 3 x 4 foot solar panels located on the rear roof, charge during daylight hours in order to illuminate the cabin’s interior by night. weighing over 1000 lbs. the temporary site specific installation was commissioned by southern exposure and funded by the graue family foundation. it remains on view until october 2012.
MONA CARON - Market St. Railway Mural
Size: 38’ x 12’ (11,6 x 3,6 meters) - Location: 300 Church St, near 15th St. - San Francisco. (—map—)
The Market Street Railway mural shows a 180-degree bird’s eye view of San Francisco’s Market Street through time.
The connecting theme of the mural is the historic Market Street Railway: streetcars from the 1920’s are shown traveling the whole length of the mural, passing through different eras and historic events, from their heyday in the 1920’s, through many changes in the traffic composition of Market Street over the years, into the present, and into the future.
