Jim Hodges: Metal Rock

Hodges_Gladstone

For the last two decades, Hodges has utilized a broad range of materials — both precious and commonplace — to transform quotidian objects into reflective sculptures. Merging the personal, political and universal, Hodges seeks to evince the immemorial; timeless discourses of identity, loss, mortality and love. Using manipulated, mirror-like elements — inspired by his recent trip to India — Hodges features a greater focus on

“…my starting point and raw material for this piece are picture frame mouldings of differeing sizes, shapes, types of material and colors. exploring the V&A for suitable and available locations for the installation, I decided upon an elegant marble staircase. the work aligns the structural architecture of staircases with the ‘right angle’ sample mouldings commonly displayed throughout the picture frame industry. the analogy of those

Fausto Caletti: Bodydress

il corpo celato

Fashion has always been looted art, ranging in each visual field, appropriating the language and making it useful to its own expression. Today there is a new approach where the dress is getting closer to art through a visual allusion and illusion made ​​of references and different effects from the past.

Appearing and the appearance are contemporary elements essential to the survival of the fashion

The “Tattoo a Banana” by Japanese artist End Cape, who uses bananas as canvas to create illustrations using just a needle. These tattoos are done without colored ink, simply by the process of oxidation of the banana skin pierced by the needle.

Aline Biasutto: The Sirens Chant

AlineBiasutto_The Sirens Chant_04

The Sirens Chant engages a poetic process of actualization with all of its complexities. he Mediterranean—a territorial entity bounded and open through actual borders and divided into discreet national cultures- is animated into a perpetual movement of de-territorialization and re- territorialization that renders it instable.
