Carsten Nicolai
Carsten Nicolai: Unidisplay:
German artist Carsten Nicolai has inaugurated his audiovisual installation titled Unidisplay at HangarBicocca in Milan. The 40-meter long piece has the ability to make sound perceptible on an optical level with minimal aesthetics translated into variations of black and white along with acoustics. There’s a propensity towards abstraction and the infinite in this installation, as well as play with the concepts of time and space. Brings to mind Ryoji Ikeda’s The Transfinite.

Babis Pangiotidis
Babis Pangiotidis: Hedonism(y) Trojaner:
“Hedonism(y) Trojaner” by Nuremberg-based artist Babis Pangiotidis, is a modern rendition of the legendary Trojan horse built entirely out of resin and recycled computer keys. Just like the Greek myth, the sculpture is a metaphor for something harmful sneaking onto the scene by masquerading as something appearing harmless or desirable – it points to our vulnerability in an electronic age.

Geraldo Zamproni
Geraldo Zamproni: Pillow Talk:
Contemporary Brazilian artist Geraldo Zamproni graduated with a degree in Architecture/Urbanism and seems to be playing with both in his art. His large red inflatable pillows are perfect examples. These fun cushions have been squeezed under museum ramps and concrete slabs just to name a couple of examples. This week at least one of the pillows can be found “at large” on 14th Street in NYC as part of the Art in Odd Places event. I looked for the pillow on Saturday while roaming 14th St. trying to find the not-very-clearly-mapped-out works in the festival, but it seems to have been sitting all the way east between Avenues B and C as per the top photograph that I found.
Zamproni’s pillow installations (which have a similar fun surprise quality —as well as color — to the Red Ball Project) have appeared in museums throughout Brazil, from Brasilia to Curitiba, in Peru, Argentina, and Spain. I’m going to keep my eyes peeled (I’ve always found that expression a little disturbing) this week to see if the AiOP catalogue’s “at large” location description will include points on 14th Street closer to Union Square.
You can see Zamproni inflating one of his pillows in the video below. Interesting to see how he even enters it to smooth out the seams:

Anarchy Dance Theater & UltraCombos
Anarchy Dance Theater & UltraCombos:
Interactive designers UltraCombos collaborated with Taiwanese dance company Anarchy Dance Theater, on their performance piece titled Seventh Sense which made its European debut recently at the TodaysArt Festival in The Hague. This viewer-centered performance detects all movements including those of the dancers and audience, allowing them to interact through visual effects. The audience becomes not just the viewer, but an active participant via the interactive projection mapping. Very cool.
For those of you in Spain, this Seventh Sense performance will be coming to Centro Parraga in Murcia, October 19 and 20, 2012, so you might want to catch it if you can.

Karyn Olivier
Karyn Olivier: Sculptural Play:
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Olivier studied undergrad and graduate school in the U.S. Her work includes sculpture, photography, videos, and drawings. These pieces, at first glance, are humorous and playful, but the artist speaks of nostalgia, betrayal, dysfunction, danger, and isolation in her work. Maybe not the best words to associate with a real playground. Nonetheless, these are quirky and appealing sculptures that seem to call out to be played with.

Alicia Martin
Alicia Martin: Paper Biennial Book Sculpture:
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.

Anouk Vogel
Anouk Vogel: Paper Garden:
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:
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:

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.
