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!

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!

Fooding @ Marseille on June, 17th
09/06/07 14:37
If you don't know what to do
next Sunday and would fancy a fun, friendly
and unusual food experience in the south of
France, come and join us at "Le Grand Fooding
d'Eté" in Marseille. Like all the happenings
organised by "Le Fooding", this food and wine
event breaks with a narrow and too
conservative vision of the pleasures of the
dining table and offer an opportunity to meet
French chefs and try fantastic food in a relax
environment for only 5 euros!

UPDATE - I'll be spending the week-end in Marseille to see my friends who organise this happening and give them a hand. Drop me a mail if you're planning to fly over.
