Claire Morgan: Fall Out
Installation Fall Out by Claire Morgan
ginko leaves, 3 taxidermy canaries
Wie bei vielen anderen von Claire Morgans Installationen durchdringen hier präparierte Vögel einen geometrischen Körper und ziehen eine Spur hinter sich her. Der Körper wird aus hunderten von Ginkoblättern gebildet, die mit Nylonschnüren abgehängt werden.
Yellow ginko tree leaves in Washington DC
Auch in Stuttgart haben sich die Ginkoblätter Gelb gefärbt. Allerdings findet man die Bäume hier nur vereinzelt in den Häuserschluchten.
Eigentlich finde ich Schwarzweiß-Bilder, die nur teilweise coloriert sind, doof. Doch bei diesem hier finde ich es durchaus passend, und es entsteht ein schöner Kontrast.

Boutique Almira Sadar
Predominant in the interior of Boutique Almira Sadar is a grey-violet metal object hanging from the ceiling. You only get its construction by viewing the object from different angles. Staying right below the object, it seems more to be a graphic than a three-dimensional object.
It was built in 2003 by architect firm Sadar+Vuga.
Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

BIG: National Gallery of Greenland
Danish architect's office BIG has won the competition to design Greenland's national gallery of art in Nuuk.
The centre of the gallery hosts an internal courtyard with a sculpture garden and opens up towards the sea.
In contrast to typically square boxes of Greenland's architecture, the new gallery assimilates to the dynamic coast.
Monument to Freedom and Unity, Berlin
"The final decision for the design of the National Monument to Freedom and Unity in Berlin has been reached: The collaborative concept by designers Milla & Partner, Stuttgart and Berlin choreographer Sasha Waltz will be realized. This concept was one of three awarded equal first prizes by the jury in the first round in October 2010. In the final round the concept now convinced conclusively. The concept is entitled "Citizens in Motion" - a message that Sasha Waltz and Milla & Partner convey in an unexpected manner. The monument is animate and is not to be approached merely as an object for contemplation - the intention is that it be entered and set in motion, movement being achieved by visitors working together as a group: The design was created in a spirit where, by means of creative action, each is enabled to bring benefit to the community and as a consequence shape society. The visitors themselves - the citizens who set the whole in motion - comprise an active constituent of the monument. The vision is that it will be a continually changing choreographic expression of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. As the design is both aesthetically ambitious and subject to stringent structural requirements, Milla & Partner and Sasha Waltz involved Stuttgart engineers Leonhardt, Andrä and Partners as expert consultants."

John's Mobiltelefon
John's Anti-Smartphone – kann nichts außer telefonieren: kein Schnickschnack, keine Kamera, noch nicht einmal eine SMS-Funktion. Die Akkustandzeit von etwa drei Wochen (bei sechs Stunden Sprechzeit) erspart die lästige Stromsuche. Weitere Funktionen beschränken sich auf eine Lautstärkeregulierung, eine Tastensperre und die Möglichkeit, die Tasten mit insgesamt bis zu zehn gespeicherten Nummern zu belegen. Das minimalistische Display befindet sich auf der Oberseite des Geräts. Analogen Speicherplatz bietet ein kleiner Notizblock auf der Rückseite, der dazu passende Kugelschreiber ist in das Gehäuse integriert.
Dieses wunderbar reduzierte Mobiltelefon kann man beim Magazin in Stuttgart erwerben.

David Fullarton's Moleskines
I found these great illustrations by David Fullarton on one of my favourite websites: Behance Network :: Gallery
See also his website David Fullarton
I fully agree with his opinion about Moleskine sketch books:"I was never a big fan of Moleskine notebooks. They always seemed so damn precious and overpriced with their pretentious history printed inside and that fancy-dan knicker elastic to keep your place. But someone gave me one for nothing a couple of years ago, and since it was free I used it. A lot. And I have to admit I ended up liking it. Almost enough to actually pay for the next one."
