Land Rover

I was looking through Freshnessmag.com and came across this artist Benedict Radcliffe. He designed a shoes for Nike then disappeared for a year and comes out with this. A  3D wire installation of a  Land Rover. It was exposed showing the interior well. He was inspired to make this from a toy model he saw. I really like this it simple yet astonishing. It is something you see would be created in the designing of the  SUV. 
 

Age of anxitey anxiety

Bruce Nauman
 
How does the artist utilize material/median/found found object, in an historical context, verses a contemporary context? He uses his material in a contemporary context.  From what i Have seen he uses a lot of neon  he keep it fun and playful drawing the younger people to his work. 



How do the materials inform the meaning of the piece? He uses his material to create word. A lot of his work is working with playing with the meaning of a word. He hides the true meaning of his are behind the words making you think why did he chose this word.

What site was chosen for the artwork? Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum is where on of the ones i like is displayed, "One Hundred Live and Die"

How does the site/place inform the meaning of the artwork?  not sure what it would be but the meaning has to due with dyeing and living.

launch of French Football Federation‘s new Away Kit

 

I saw this exhibiit and was really drawn to it It was well created by Nike and Collete to exhibit this years French Football Federation away uniforms. It is keep really simple and clean with black and white. 

Scott Campbell

Scott Campbell is crazy. He cut up $11,000 dollar in uncut sheets of  US $ 1 dollars bills. It is really amazing though. A skull in a 2x2 cube. I love how this is blended in and carefully cut. I guess you have to be extra careful or you'll have a $11k mistake.the first thing that comes to mind after getting over the fact that its $11k is the message. The message i get from this is that money kill. Like they say more money, more problems or even money can't but you happiness. Wish I could have seen it in person. It was displayed at the OHWOW in Los Angeles. It does deserve to be there because it really make you go OH WOW!!

marvel comics and stussy poster

I came across this and thought these are great. These are images were designed by John K and Gary Panter. I am not much of a comic person put these iconic figure in the comic world are being introduced to today's generation. I love the detail in these. I love how they tie in the background collage into the main character. the one i seem to like the best it the Punisher, and Captain America. The Punisher is drawn a mysterious pose, looking down not being able to see his face gives it the mystery of not knowing what will happen with him. Captain American i just love the use of bold color and the pose that was created.

COLLECTED JOURNALS TODAY

Julia Davis Rose Garden

1. I see many roses, lots of different kinds. the location of this is perfect. It is  located in the middle of Julia Davis Park. It is evenly layed out. It has good use of space. Easy accessible to everyone.

2. The representation is this is great. It create somewhat of a maze with in giving it an essence of getting lost in this beautiful place. If you go during its peak bloom it smells wonderful. There is a path way down the middle  with gazebos to provide shade.

3. The visual element in this that are dominate are the roses of course. It is a Rose Garden. It creates a calming enviorment

4. This memorial is not really site specific but was chosen because on  November 22, 1907 Thomas Davis deeded a tract of land with thee only request that  had from the city of Boise was that the land would only be used as a park and memorial to his wife Julia Davis and nothing else.

5. It was created and designed by a group of men, yes men and flowers. In 1935 it was though up by H.C. Schuppel who was Chairman of the Men’s Garden Club. Interesting that their club had only two rule no women and no publicity.

6. Well a lot of different rose bushes were used along with adding sculpturers and gazebo throughout.

7. In the memorial there aren't many words just mainly descriptions of the roses.

8. I think that this space was intended to provide a relaxing atmosphere . Something that Julia Davis would have also enjoyed. It is very inviting somewhere where you could clear your mind.

9.  I think this is very successful because I remember going for the first time and just had a really relaxing feel to it.

Cabela's Boise Store

 1. I see a huge mountain with a variety of different animals. They created this mountaion typ ladscape  in the middle the store. it has a hall leading to is from all sides. It is really busy.

2. It depicts alot of nature habitats from the wild. It is to me very cluttered. It is not what you would typically see in the wild, all these animals in one place.

3. The most dominating feature of this is the big mountain replica with the rams a top it all. the landscape really stands out and is realistic.

4. This in not really site specific it a Cabela's  Store. I is just trying to incorporate all it elements into one.

5. Not sure who created it but seemed not very planned out.

6. There was taxidermy, what seem to be textured plastic boulders and rock, fake landscaping which make it look realistic.

7. By adding text to the animals through out the exhibit kind takes away from the look they are trying to go for. Natural, real life setting wild life. It would have worked better to have a diagram showing the different animals around as some are.

8. I think it was intended to just be a display of what shopping at Cabela's can bring to you. its just a big advertisement for there  store.


9. I thing it worked well but not great it could have used a little more planning and laying out.
