Cameron R. Neilson
Straight Up: Cameron R. Neilson:
New York based photographer Cameron R. Neilson has photographed a collection of images with his camera leveled and pointed straight up. The series of photographs is aptly titled Straight Up. The abstract angles and shapes created by photographing city architecture this way is surprising and dramatic. Both recognizable and yet new. Though we tend to look up to some degree when walking city streets, ‘straight’ up is a less common angle. The concept for Straight Up started in NYC and has since grown to include cities across the country, and eventually Europe.
Straight Up will be exhibited at Openhouse, 379 Broome Street here in New York opening this Thursday, August 15th through August 22nd.

New York and Los Angeles based architectural firm FreelandBuck, run by principals David Freeland and Brennan Buck, has created an installation currently on exhibit at the Bridge Gallery in NYC titled Slipstream.
…Architects have used digital software to imbue structures and spaces with some of the same qualities as Da Vinci’s meticulous drawings: fluidity, undulation, instability and temporality. But while software has allowed architects to create novel, dynamic forms digitally, they have struggled to translate these qualities to the physicality of the material world. Slipstream is a physical structure that confronts that leap directly, translating a 2-dimensional digital line drawing into 3-dimensional space.
Alluding to Lebbeus Woods’ 2010 ‘Slipstreaming’ drawings of flow, the installation is a single drawing extruded through the gallery space and cut away to produce a set of interconnected spaces. The linear extrusion acts as both structure and dynamic visual filter, shifting views through the installation and between the spaces it defines. It’s integrity as a structure is masked by both its redundancy and bright coloration.
The exhibit runs through August 24th at the Bridge Gallery on Orchard Street.Photos courtesy of the architects; Carles Faus; and the Bridge Gallery.

Sabine Ducasse
Sabine Ducasse: Melting Pot:
Perler beads—
Ducasse used the beads to create East-meets-West armor style fashion; a melting pot of cultures with a literal take on “melting”. These amazingly well-crafted pixelated design pieces won the designer a scholarship at the International Fashion Academy.

Sean Hart
Sean Hart: Street Poetry:
French street artist Sean Hart considers himself a poet (among many other things) and his poetry “is a weapon loaded with the future.” He paints large, existential-style statements in a condensed typeface on surfaces all over the world. His most recent series Shine (the blue and white photos at top) have an anamorphic quality, allowing his phrases to be read despite right angles and open doors in the center of the image. According to Hart all his works consist of paint, a camera, time and himself. No photoshop. No special effects. The works below Shine are from his series Yes Future from 2011, and the bottom image of a stabbed Tintin is from his series Parce Que!
UPDATE: One of Sean Hart’s recent interventions spotted on the streets of Madrid is over here on Escrito en la Pared.

Haegue Yang
Haegue Yang: Venetian Blinds Art:
South Korean artist Haegue Yang (aka Heike Jung), living and working in in both Berlin and Seoul, believes that there is “a mysteriousness and spirituality in the most banal things.” Her use of window shades in many of her installations seems to be proof of this. Presently, Yang has an installation titled Approaching: Choreography Engineered in Never-Past Tense (top five photos) as part of documenta (13) in Kassel, Germany through September 16, 2012. These artfully hung and motorized clusters of Venetian blinds have appeared in some of her previous works, but this block-long installation and its choreography must certainly be fun to experience. Earlier aluminum blinds works include: Citadella; Manteuffelstrasse 112; Escaping Transparency; Three Kinds; Yearning Melancholy Red and others.
Haegue Yang’s fascination with domestic items doesn’t limit itself to blinds. She uses foldable laundry racks, cans, cups and cup cosies, just to name a few, in her other more sculptural works.

“The photographs in Quantum Blink are composed of two exposures taken instants apart. The striped pattern is the result of masks placed in-camera, this feature allows me to blend two images together and at the same time keep them from fully fusing onto one another.”
