Look what I’ve found. A huge drawing in the snow made by Sonja Hinrichsen and recorded by Cedar Beaudegar. Don’t miss the collection of photos as well. Organic and simple. White charm!

PHILLIP KALANTZIS COPE

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:30:05 -0600

I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy as me this series of plane windows made by extraordinary photographer Phillip Kalantzis Cope. There’s something on this border between the familiar heterotopia and the shinny new world that waits -or remains- outside that round angled windows. Is a wonderful fascination that he captures with a dreamy atmosphere.

Edgar 'Bacalao' Argaez

For his exuberant and fantastic lines, Edgar ‘Bacalao’ Argaez has a privileged place on my list of favorite artists. Not very often you can see such a well coordinated rhythm of the forms and organic compositions. Is almost like he would dance all around the space, inviting us to join his uncontrollable yet precise black flow. From his wide production, I prefer his street interventions and pretty much this one called ‘Pimp my ruins’ which I can’t avoid to think on it as a personal sanctuary of contemplation.

I remember watching this documentary once when I was a kid. More than the final painting, those images of the artist working in a huge space sticked to my mind: experimenting, touching the materials, walking around the painting. Ever since then I hear his name, the idea of an artist comes up to my mind. Not Renaissance, no Romanticism nor Contemporary. Tàpies.

And later, in Barcelona, in front of his paintings, his posters and sculptures, I confirm more and more to myself than the almost only way of freedom -in more than one sense- is the one he took. A very sad day today, when world missed Antoni Tàpies.

itinerarios.org

Yesterday was the end of a project called itinerarios.org that involves dance, street and Internet in north Mexico. During a week we’ve been proposing a series of actions on the city and coordinating civil and artistic organizations to create ways of appropriation of the public space. Each action has its correspondent part on the site that can be displayed as animation, videos or pictures. Besides the wonderful collaboration of the group of dancers, the project involved many other artists like Sara Ovalle, Hugo Estrada and Christophe Aslanian. Have a look and tell us what do you think about it!

Those handmade shoes by José Machado, a Portuguese initiative, took my breath away. What a great selection, colors, design! So much creativity and love for the materials deserve to be shared with everybody. Here’s a small video in which the artisan shows how he plies a hemp yarn. Don’t forget to visit his Etsy shop!

photojojo:

Nick DeWolf was an avid photographer who’s passed away, but —not to sound cliche— will live on through his photos.

His son-in-law is posting Nick’s scanned photos one by one on Flickr. The collection is at 50,000 so far!

A while ago, I discovered a project called Básicamente (basically) made by the extraordinary photographer Claudia Rodríguez Borja, and thanks to her kindness I can present you a small part of this series.

What I love in her photos are a confusing display of colors and textures, an inner travel on the backyard that leads to amazing discoveries. I particularly enjoy the mood that surrounds her micro quest: innocent, epic, abstract. And the eternal blue. The whole series is compiled in a book that you can also get here.
