As part of the Paper Biennial 2012 at the Meermanno Museum in The Netherlands, Spanish artist Alicia Martin has created one of her site-specific, signature book sculptures using thousands of books donated by the public for the event. Martin’s sculpture pours out of one of the museum’s windows, down the façade and onto the street. Quite an impressive feat.
The installation will be on view through November 25, 2012.

Swiss landscape architect Anouk Vogel lives and works in the Netherlands. Her Paper Garden titled Folding for Peace, was commissioned by the Gardening World Cup (who knew?) in Nakasaki, Japan, last year. Inspired by an ancient Japanese legend which promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish, such as long life or recovery from illness, Vogel folded thousands of paper flowers and plants with the wish for world peace.

Roland Schimmel

Roland Schimmel: After-Image Murals:
Het Oog (The Eye), The Innocent Eye at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Optical effect paintings and murals by Roland SchimmelHet Oog (The Eye), The Innocent Eye at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Optical effect paintings and murals by Roland SchimmelHet Oog (The Eye), The Innocent Eye at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Optical effect paintings and murals by Roland SchimmelClick to enlarge
Dutch painter Roland Schimmel is fascinated by the eye and the uncontrollable in our perception. His paintings and murals, as well as computer animations, create visual after-images similar to those one experiences after staring at a light for a while and then looking away or closing their eyes. These abstract works created by airbrushing really play with your vision and have names such as Psychoscope and Blind Spot.
Sophie Tates and Andreas Broeckmann wrote about Schimmel’s work:

The body of work is an exploration of the dividing line between reality and appearance. If you look at his work, close your eyes and see the complementary colors appear on your retina, you also gain a sudden insight into the unrealized possibilities underlying every word, action, choice: the complementary forms of what actually exists.

Caitlind Brown: Cloud:

Calgary-based artist and filmmaker Caitlind Brown created this wonderful large-scale light installation/sculpture titled Cloud, exhibited a few nights ago at this year’s Nuit Blanche in Calgary. Made with more than 5,000 reappropriated domestic light bulbs (only one in every six bulbs actually needs to glow), in addition to compact fluorescent bulbs and chain pull strings, Cloud invites viewers to wander through a rain of pull strings switching lights on and off. When audiences activate the Cloud‘s inner sphere of light bulbs it creates the illusion of lightning on the cloud’s surface.
