Justin Kemp ’s work is a little unsettling but has an air of lightheartedness that is unavoidably funny. He presents us with real issues in a playful tone, creating a dynamic in his work that you dont see often enough. Check out the videos ‘Removing Friends poster from the ceiling using a Gopher reaching tool’, ‘Different Basses’ or ‘A pessimistic half empty glass of water spills optimistically’.

Countless works and installations I have built, mostly straight into their spaces. Through my work I try to search my constantly changing outline. I need an outline to understand myself more clearly - to understand where the internal ends and the external begins.“ Kaarina Kaikkonen
What at first look like delicate works of carved porcelain are actually thousands of layers of soft white paper, carved into busts, skulls, and human forms by Beijing artist Li Hongbo. A book editor and designer, the artist became fascinated by traditional Chinese toys and festive decorations known as paper gourds made from glued layers of thin paper which can be stored flat but then opened to reveal a flower or other shape. He applied the same honeycomb-like paper structure to much larger human forms resulting in these highly flexible sculptures. Hongbo recently had a solo show at Dominik Mersch Gallery in Australia who made the videos above, and you can see much more of his work on their website.

“Everybody’s Talking About Jesus” by John Isaacs, 2005
“The 128 participants who completed the Damien Hirst Spot Challenge earlier this year have finally received their reward. Arrested Motion reports that Hypothalamus Acetone Powder, a 59 x 53 inch silkscreen print comprising 420 one-inch spots, each in a unique color, has arrived at their office. Hirst cynically titled the print after a discontinued chemical used in the cattle industry (moooo) and references the hypothalamus, a portion of the brain that regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and circadian cycles. Clearly including420, a popular euphemism for getting high, wasn’t an accident. ” -excerpt taken from twocoatsofpaint.com

this is unbelievable. Mark Landis imitates art.
Before inviting Scott Carter to show in your exhibition space, be sure you’ve done your homework and have a stellar insurance policy, the Chicago artists’ medium of choice is drywall and wood cut directly from the walls of the gallery. Blurring the lines between sculpture and installation Carter first develops digital prototypes which he then translates into the myriad components needed to construct the furniture and other sculptures that comprise each exhibition. The eviscerated and ragged walls then form the backdrop to each piece like a curious set of physical blueprints, not unlike wooden insect skeleton models you might have played with as a kid. Scott currently has work at Beers.Lambert Gallery in London through January 26th and will have another solo show there in 2014. See much more of his work via his website (flash).
