Let There Be Air.

Captured: An Homage to Light and Air is Nils and Sven Völker’s recent installation, shown at the MADE Space in Berlin. The installation is a collaboration between the brothers. It involves a combination of four walls with 304 framed graphic pages that then surround a field of 252 inflatable silver cushion-like air bags. The bags were programmed  to create sequences according to chapters of Sven's “books on wall”. There's a video that you can check out here to watch the actual process - pretty cool, right?

Sounding.

David Letellier created this sound installation for a chapel in Caen, France. Caten is a levitating sculpture, based in kinetics, made out of 300 fine wires suspended from two ropes, hoping to showcase the evolution of sound composition. Check it out.

Cutouts.

In her cut-out correspondence series, Annie Vought collects and recounts various hand scrawled notes, letters that she has found, written, or received. She first enlarges each correspondence onto a large piece of paper, then carefully cuts the negative space out to preserve the integrity of the letter. Check it out.

Chair Amnesty.

Street Seats, a furniture project by Bade Stageberg Cox for the Pier 94 Coffee Bar at The Armory Show refurbishes found chairs and paints them in taxi cab yellow. The project features 50 chairs found abandoned on the streets, and each is stamped and documented with the date and location it was recovered. Too cool - check it out.

Mutations.

Belgian designer Maarten De Ceulaer seems to have a keen eye for the oddities of, well, the odd. Deemed the Mutation series and inspired by the action itself, each piece is made from foam spheres, cut so they fit together in just the right way. See more here.
