Bathroom renovation idea, art stylz.
Andreas Gursky has always had a macro view of the world. He seems to have gone omnipotent!
"The work apparently originates from Gursky being struck by the pictorial quality of the back-of-seat display as it showed the wide expanse of water that he was flying 35,000ft above (with the Horn of Africa to the far left of the screen, a tip of Australia to the right)."
Although Gursky uses digital means to create his images, no one is preoccupied by it. Maybe that because his images are always so beautiful, and meaningful enough that people aren't distracted by any tricks. '"Gursky used high-definition satellite photographs which he augmented from various picture sources on the Internet,"... "The satellite photos are restricted however to exposures of sharply contoured land masses. Consequently the transitional zones between land and water – as well as the oceans themselves – had to be generated completely by artificial means."'

I discovered artist Penny Byrne on ABC TV's Artscape program this week. In the same week I saw a tribute to her work in a shop window, or it it just a dolls head on porcelain animal coincidence?
Somehow I doubt the artist is moonlighting as a window dresser. I guess imitation is a form of flattery.

Thank you to BlurbOZ for bringing this to my attention (http://twitter.com/blurboz/status/12869021900)
A long-term relationship ends. For some years prior to this, as part of a systematic strategy of recuperation against an insipient sense of loss, Liversidge transcribed by hand every text message he received on his mobile phone. Consequently, it turned out he had every message she had ever sent him. To illustrate fluctuations in velocities – tensions and conditions of equilibrium – within the relationship, he plotted on a graph the number of syllables he received from her each day by SMS for the duration of their time together. The data was then extrapolated into three-dimensions and placed in the gallery in the form of a sculptural bar chart. Nothing for nothing is over two metres high and almost seven metres long and is constructed out of approximately two thousand pulp romance novels. A tragic tale of boy-loves-girl-boy-loses-girl which escalates to a dramatic end is graphically illustrated via another failed relationship – the relationship between empirical data and its supposedly rational system of interpretation.

While we wait for the new Westfield the city is being graced with some art.
Tate has to be my favourite art resource. Plenty of info and images of collage master Moholy-Nagy from the exhibition: Albers and Moholy-Nagy: From the Bauhaus to the New World. I guess I should post up my own work soon.
