  1. Second Amendment by Yue Chen.

    A striking interpretation of the USA #SecondAmendment by award-winning #ChineseAmerican designer and #ArtDirector at City University of New York, Yue Chen.

    Amendment II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  2. 🧵 1/2 Preparing the texts for my exhibition of the #BiodiversityShrines feels so cringe! 😱 The texts are written in 2043, like this one (still uncorrected):
    "The exhibit is probably a so-called supplication stick, as it was widely made at that time. People who did not want to despair of the indifference towards #ClimateChange and the #extinction of species made the supplication sticks and passed them around in a circle in a #ritual.

  3. "Du pain, du vin et du boursin" - #artInProcess #artInProgress One of my #BiodiversityShrines -- here a try about #FoodSecurity not yet finished. (The French publicity was the first in television in 1968, changing the way of manipulation and consumerism completely.) #embroidery #PoliticalStitching #Activism #assemblage #ArtActivism #crops #wheat #grain #Klosterarbeiten #biodiversityLoss #craftivism

  4. Finally, the idea for my #exhibition! " #Archaeologists made a revolutionary #discovery in 2033. In the vicinity of pottery shards from the late Betschdorf and Soufflenheim cultures (early 21st century), they found objects reminiscent of ancient #reliquaries. An antique QR code will be provided for you to visit this page. You can also beam up in the form of a hologram." 😎 😂 ▶️ cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ #SciArt #ArtActivism #BiodiversityShrines #BiodiversityLoss #archaeology #butterflies

  5. Finally the penny has dropped! I have an exhibition showcase at a rather conservative #embroidery festival. My #BiodiversityShrines are provocative in a region with farmers who spray pesticides twice when the soil is broken (their logic) and far too many people vote for Le Pen. My idea: I build them up as #archaeological #museum exhibits from the #future! #Subversive. Catch them by #beauty and #colours and when they are hooked ... bang! 😁 #EcoArt #ArtActivism #assemblage #activism #biodiversity

  6. Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

  7. 1/2 #LostSpecies vanish like a #cigarette. This was my first connotation when I discovered some #vintage cigarette boxes for my #BiodiversityShrines. Inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten, they contain fantasy species, precious materials like #perlage and "civilisation" #waste. The realistic #PaperArt #butterfly sits on #wire found in a flowerless meadow. #BiodiversityLoss My #shrines are a project for an exhibition in October. #mixedmedia #ArtInABox #assemblageArt #artActivism #embroidery
