New Tony Cragg Work at Lisson

Filed under: sculpture — Niall @ 7:26 pm

tonycraggblog

A new Tony Cragg sculpture from his current solo show at the Lisson Gallery. They have no title or media info on the site though it’s some sort of wood. Its quite an unusual piece for him. I can’t think of any other cube-like forms of his since his early stack pieces from the 70s.

Update: The gallery have added the following info about the piece:

WT (cube), 2008,wood, 123 x 120 x 114cm

Their site also has another image of the work from a different angle.

Concrete Cast of Enormous Ant Colony

Filed under: documentary,nature,science,video,youtube — Niall @ 4:57 pm

“A giant ant colony pumped full of cement,and then excavated reveals one of Mother Nature’s marvellous wonders.

We’ve seen what these giant ant mounds look like above ground but this is an incredible view of what the structures looks like underground – which some have called a wonder of the world.”

The chemical component in PVC that does not decompose in the consumer society’s throw-away goods, as well as a deep fascination with rubbish, led Gerd Rohling to refine things he found on the beach and create precious imitation glasses.

There’s a big collection of these currently on show at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
