href="http://nickcaveart.com/Main/Intro.html">Nick Cave</a></p> <p>“I enjoy working with this sculpture because it challenges people’s preconceptions and stereotypes,” says Karen Gerety Folk, curator of education at the Nerman.  “It is a colorful, textile sculpture that has a human presence.”</p> <p>Artist Nick Cave has created more than 100 “soundsuit” sculptures, so-named because of the rattles and other audible sounds they make when worn by a performer.  The multi-layered garments are uniquely individual and constructed of thousands of sequins, beads and other found materials.</p> <p>The back of the soundsuit at the Nerman is mostly black and white with bold, geometric designs; the front of the sculpture is colorful and organic, all hand-sewn into fabric into a cape-like armature.  This soundsuit, like most of his works, is completely wearable.</p> <p>“People have a strong, aesthetic attraction to it,” says Folk.  “This work definitely draws people into it.”</p></blockquote>

href="http://yoy-idea.jp/works/canvas/">Canvas</a> by <a href="http://yoy-idea.jp/">YOY</a></p> <p>Tokyo-based design firm YOY transforms this fantasy into a reality. Canvas, a series of three navy ink paintings of French-style chairs, makes an illusion out of its subject. The elastic fabric of the canvas hides an actual chair waiting behind the painting, inviting onlookers to take a seat and become the spatial extension of the two-dimensional print. The simplistic elegance of the work seems to embody how easy it is to add a little flourish and whimsy into the throes of the everyday. </p></blockquote>http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51688274573http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51688274573Thu, 30 May 2013 11:34:31 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o7hdb4LU1r12bnzo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o7hdb4LU1r12bnzo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o7hdb4LU1r12bnzo5_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4o7hdb4LU1r12bnzo6_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Documentation of performance from a few weeks ago.</p>http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51455475358http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51455475358Mon, 27 May 2013 15:59:54 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c9a039a58acf9655e77e8102b024c692/tumblr_mh7684Hrmi1qdoqhio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51455183708http://syzygyandmimicry.tumblr.com/post/51455183708Mon, 27 May 2013 15:54:06 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/35c33ab439ebc0265b3798bb37324698/tumblr_mj9ifzAbTB1qeu6ilo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://phoebebishopwright.tumblr.com/post/50999787889">phoebebishopwright</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is Rose Valland, one of the heroes of Nazi-Occupied France.
