  13. 15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed

    A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns. These sixteen sculptures use cliffs, shadows, water, buildings, light, and even the viewer’s position as part of the work. Some are permanent landmarks; others travel or were created as temporary installations. 🎶 “Mélodie oubliée” — By Luo Li Rong In this workshop photo, Luo Li Rong uses a torch on the bronze surface of Mélodie oubliée.

  15. 🧵 1/2

    Here is my "Unpopular on Mastodon" toot of the day.

    I dislike Banksy.

    Although I am often (not always) in sympathy with the messages his work conveys, these are often presented in a form that is dull, hectoring, or disagreeably sentimental -- what we might term radical twee.

    The populist "you know what you like and it's not that museum stuff" current that has marked his career is uncomfortably close to the right wing cultural politics of which he imagines himself a leading opponent.

    I also dislike graffiti in general. This Jonathan Jones article from a decade ago remains on point:

    theguardian.com/artanddesign/j

    Please don't tell me that this symptom of urban blight is somehow "progressive". Instead of drooling over Robin Gunnigham's private organization...

  16. "View of Alpine" -- Moya del Pino -- oil on masonite -- 1940.

    A US Post Office mural created for Alpine, TX, by Jose Moya del Pino ( 1891- 1969), a Spanish born artist who worked for most of his life in Bay area California.
