TED never ceases to amaze me. I am so glad it decided to open it’s archive to public even though some talks are posted long after it was filmed. I guess they do need to keep the exclusivity to conference goers somehow. The above video was filmed in 2004 and was just posted on TED.com.

Publix (2008) by Frances Trombly, embroidery on fabric
I stumbleuponed this work and like it quite a bit. I like how much the work is put in to present such a mundane and everyday object.

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Jeremy Hatch (see old posts here and here). I have been waiting to see his new work and now here’s a little sneak preview of what Jeremy has been working on in Archie Bray Residency. He is showing this piece as part of the 2008 Resident Artist Exhibition.

the Inquisitors (2004) by Beth Cavener Stichter, stoneware, 65″x80″x28″
‘grinder’, 2008 (stoneware, porcelain) & ‘trophy’, 2008 (stoneware, porcelain)
Porcelain cutlery? Bones and teeth on the edge? It’s like she can read my mind.
I think the work is beautiful and I love it; however, I don’t feel that the furniture needs to be animated and taking on animal-like characteristics for this work to be successful. I would like to hear what you think.

Rhinoceros, 2005, by Carsten Höller
I especially like the curtains behind it; how often do you see a curtain in a gallery?

Panagiota: Conversation (installation view) 2007 by Evan Penny
It feels more like a monologue than conversation to me though.
edit: oh… could it mean conversation among one’s self?

Jahan Loh is currently having a show in Taipei’s Ming Art Gallery. I am definitely thinking Takashi Murahami’s My Lonesome Cowboy and its cool 13.5 mil price tag when I see this work. It is a very good work but I could do without the paintings in the background. Follow to see images and, more importantly, links. Read more »
