BOOK SCULPTING BY ALEXANDER KORZER-ROBINSON
Artist Alexander Korzer-Robinson - “Through my work in the tradition of collage I am pursuing a very personal obsession of creating narrative scenarios in small format. By using antiquarian books, it makes the work simultaneously an exploration and a deconstruction of nostalgia. I make book sculptures / cut books by working through a book, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. In this way, I build my composition using only the images found in the book.”

SCULPTURES BY PEDRO GANOGAL
Spain, Madrid-based Sculptor Pedro Ganogal (facebook / behance) - “Emotions, and Intelligence, define us as human beings. Art is the way we express human condition.

WAKING THE DEAD
NEW YORK, NY (December 8th, 2012) - Last Rites Gallery presents Waking the Dead, new works by Chris Haas, in what will be his first solo show at the gallery.
Waking the Dead includes nine artistically and uniquely rendered animal skulls that even after death, transpose life and take on a newfound beauty and purpose. In this exhibition, Haas’ skulls are wide-ranging species collected from various parts of the globe and decorated with thoughtful, revered precision resulting in an elegant homage to the animal itself and ever present, cycle of life. Haas work reminds us of the transience of life and that even beauty and sacredness follow all living things beyond the material world.

FRAC Centre Pavilion by MARC FORNES & THEVERYMANY
French architect Marc Fornes of THEVERYMANY | nonLin/Lin Pavilion – is a prototype which engages in a series of architectural experiments referred to as text based morphologies. Beyond its visual perception of sculptural and formal qualities, the prototypes are built forms developed through custom computational protocols. The parameters of these protocols are based on form finding (surface relaxation), form description (composition of developable linear elements), information modeling (re-assembly data), generational hierarchy (distributed networks), and digital fabrication (logistic of production).

GUN SCULPTURE INSTALLATION
Artists Wallis Kendal and Sandra Bromley (facebook) took guns of all kinds, from small handguns to rocket launchers, and fused them into a monolith called The Gun Sculpture.

To date over 150,000 visitor contributions (comments, drawings, poems etc) have been collected and over one and a half million people, on three continents, have viewed the Gun Sculpture.”
NEW GROWTH | STRATUM MODEL
Sculptor Kendall Buster - New Growth: Stratum Model reflects a merging of the natural and the built environment. Designed to operate at once as landscape and architecture, the schematic of stacked planes seen from a bird’s eye view toggles between topography map and building in plan.

Artist Andrea du Chatenier - Drawing from a range of theoretical texts including art history, feminism and psychoanalysis my figures explore aspects of the human condition, in particular, the ironies associated with the human endeavor to seek an understanding of our place in the world – a definition of Humanness as opposed to Naturalness.Trained as a sculptor, my recent work uses carved polystyrene, collected materials, and found objects to construct figurative works.
ROCK STRANGERS BY ARNE QUINZE - CITIES LIKE OPEN AIR MUSEUMS
Arne Quinze was born in 1971 in Belgium and lives and works in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium. Recurring fundamentals in his oeuvre are the use of electrical colors in fluorescent paint and themes referring to social interaction, communication, and urbanism.
Rocks Strangers (Zeeheldenplein, Oostende, Belgium) are strange objects popping up where you least expect them and having a huge effect on the urban and architectural context of the environment. Rocks Strangers generate the sentiment of estrangement because of their electric orange colour. At the same time however, they evoke the primal emotions of curiosity and astonishment of man.
OLIVIER BLANCKART SCULPTURES - THE WORLD OF ART IS NOT ENOUGH
NY, Brooklyn-based artist Olivier Blanckart, born 1959 in Brussel, Belgium. For the image, and in particular the photographic image, is the centre of gravity of his oeuvre - the photographic reproduction as such (like in the series SelfPortraits), or the interpretation of a photographic image re-worked in three dimensions as in his various sculptures. Blanckart takes as starting point these images that have become popular icons.
