Roger Hiorns' crystal cave
01/10/08 22:41
The British artist Roger Hiorns
presents Seizure, his latest art
installation commissioned by the arts
organisation Artangel.
Hiorns has transformed an abandoned housing estate near London’s Elephant & Castle by covering the inside with blue copper phosphate crystals.
Walking in this cave of sparkling blue crystals is an amazing breathtaking experience I highly recommend.
The complex creative process of filling the flat with 90,000 litres of copper sulphate solution has been documented and is available on IconEye, the website of Icon Magazine.
Hiorns' art installation is scheduled for demolition after the exhibition which ends on 2nd November. Don't miss it!

Waterfalls in NYC river this summer
19/01/08 22:50
According to The New York Sun,
Olafur Eliasson, the Danish-Icelandic artist
who uses elements of nature to evoke sensory
experiences, will present a monumental art
installation in New York this summer. Four 70
feet high waterfalls will be erected in the
East River and will be on display from
mid-July to mid-October... A good reason to
stop over in NYC this summer!

Hreinn Fridfinnsson @ The Serpentine

If you liked the
half-Icelandic Olafur Eliasson's sun set over
the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in 2004, do
not miss Hreinn Fridfinnsson at the Serpentine
Gallery this summer!
This exhibition of one of Icelandic’s leading conceptual artists, is presented in collaboration with Eliasson, who is working with Kjetil Thorsen to design this year’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion.
Fridfinnsson’s work is a poetic and lyrical exploration through our childhood memories and emotions. His ability to capture the strongest feelings into the simplest objects is just astonishing. This Icelandic ready-made poetry is in London until September 2nd.

Antony Gormley @ The Hayward
04/06/07 20:00
Don't miss this exciting new
exhibition at the Hayward Gallery until August
19th! Antony Gormley, one of Britain’s
best-known living sculptors, presents a series
of brand new monumental works, including an
amazing installation called Blind Light. This
artwork is a large glass room filled with... a
cloud! And you can walk in and lose yourself
in light and vapour, with visibility down to
as little as two feet. This is an astonishing
as well as disturbing experience. Definitely
worth trying.
It is recommended to book tickets in advance, here: http://tinyurl.com/2h4hwa
