Julien Salaud, l'animal hybride sur Culturopoing Artiste étonnant, à la démarche foncièrement originale, Julien Salaud a mis l’animal au centre de son travail. Un animal qu’il pare, transforme, modifie, jusqu’à en faire un être hybride, à la fois fascinant et effrayant. Ce chantre du chamanisme, cet adepte des autres cultures, s‘est vu confier récemment une des salles du nouveau Palais de Tokyo et expose actuellement au Loft de la Galerie Suzanne Tarasiève. Julien Salaud est un cas à part dans le panorama des jeunes artistes français d’aujourd’hui, une sorte d’OVNI, un garçon dont le travail ne se rattache à aucune tendance ni à aucune école établie. A ce parcours professionnel en zigzags se greffe – mais bien sûr les deux sont intimement liés – un parcours personnel douloureux que l’artiste raconte en détail et avec beaucoup de franchise sur son blog (blog.julien-salaud.info). Dès l’enfance, Julien Salaud a été victime de violence et de discrimination de la part de ses petits camarades. Julien Salaud, Scène érotique (cerf), 2012
Lost At Sea I've said goodbye to NYC, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end! Follow all my latest scouting posts from the West Coast at: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | TikTok. One of my favorite public art pieces in New York City is probably familiar to anyone who has ever waited in line for the Liberty Island Ferry. Located on the west side of Battery Park, the American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial is a haunting tribute to commercial seamen who lost their lives, for whatever reason, on the water. The memorial, designed by artist Marisol, was based on a true event during World War II, in which a Nazi U-boat attacked an American merchant marine vessel. As you can see above, two men are desperately crying for help while a third tries to pull a victim from the water. There is an unbelievable desperation in the piece, as the man struggles, veins practically bursting out of his arm, to grab hold of the seaman above and salvation as the merciless ocean tries to drag him down.
Jan van Ravesteyn - Hugo Grotius Designers Spin Spidey-Worthy Webs From Packing Tape Packing tape has gotten MacGyver out of many a jam, but he never managed to make an entire home out of the stuff. So he could probably learn something from Viennese/Croatian design collective For Use/Numen. The team uses nothing but packing tape to create huge, self-supporting cocoons that visitors could climb inside and explore. Installed three times in the past year, the next deployment will be next week from June 9–13 at DMY Berlin's International Design Fair, which is now in its 8th year. The installations, which look like the work of horrifyingly large arachnids, grew in scale and scope as the year progressed, first deployed inside a small Croatian gallery, then an abandoned attic during October’s Vienna Design Week. At the last installation inside Odeon, a former stock exchange building in Vienna, the group used nearly 117,000 feet and 100 pounds of tape.

Olivier Cadiot : d’après photo | LE REGARD A FACETTES Nan Goldin, Sharon in the River, Eagles Mere, PA, 1995, Courtesy Gallery Matthew Marks C’est une photo de Nan Goldin qui a inspiré le nouveau livre d’Olivier Cadiot dont la parution est prévue en août chez P.O.L. Un mois avant sa sortie en librairie, Ludovic Lagarde met en scène son adaptation théâtrale au festival d’Avignon. Du jamais vu. Gertrude Stein, la fée, le roi, Robinson, le lapin fluo, l’analyste, le dandy, le chasseur de têtes, le décorateur, le philosophe ou l’homme qui se fait cirer les chaussures (dans le célèbre daguerréotype, Boulevard du Temple)… peuplaient déjà l’univers romanesque d’Olivier Cadiot. Comment interpréter la fascination de l’auteur pour ce cliché de 1995 ? Dépeindre le visible pour « peindre l’ invisible » : voilà qui pourrait être l’un des tours de main de l’écrivain toujours prêt à proposer ses petites madeleines sur un plateau… Les sensations sont là, à portée d’œil. L’incipit d’ Un Mage en été est disponible en avant-première sur le site de P.O.L :
Mind Blowing Hyperrealistic Sculptures Artists that produce photorealistic sculptures, for the most part, aim to show us our bodies and life as it really is. Technically, artists who strive for a high resolution level of detail in painting or sculpture are called “hyperrealists”, although all hyperrealists are also considered to be photorealists. Every detail is slavishly recreated as close to the real life model as possible, even if the sculpture is larger than the original scale. Photorealistic sculptors create truly amazing sculptures that will make you feel wonder, revulsion and the sense of looking in someone else’s mirror. In this post we feature sculptors Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Jamie Salmon, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks and Adam Beane who produce sculpture that seems alive in every detail, right down to veins and rashes on skin. Ron Mueck Ron Mueck is one of the premier names in the photorealistic sculpture field. Evan Penny Age spots, wrinkles, and every detail of a face are featured in the work of Toronto artist Evan Penny.
