Errant Behaviours

I love the work of Anne Wilsons "Errant Behaviours." The absolute detail produced in these small sewing kit materials creates a three dimensional sketch. The photographs look like drawing book sketches with charcoal and pencil. The way that these objects have been created to look like a small city is also incredible with how fragile and small the materials are.

Song Dong is a Bejing based artist who explores installations that combine aspects of performance, video, photography and sculpture. Waste Not is an installation of a collaboration of all the contents in her home. "waste not" was a prerequisite for survival. Viewers are able to walk around and navigate through all the materials.

Nike shop installation.

home away from home

Ksubi created a striking installation at Tokyo store Cannibis. True to the brands outlandish sense of presentation, the work "home away from home" featured eye catching designs along the length of its blue plastic walls. The work references tension between material comfort and a desire for simplicity. The work is inspired from the temporary shelters set up for the Japanese homeless.

not just fashion

Ksubi has not only been a world wide fashion label. The different forms of artwork that come along side this name are huge and differ from drawings to installation art. I tripped across some of Ksubi's installation shop layouts and love the way that it is incorporated into a store to create a completely different experience in an artistic space for customers. 

Exchange and interaction

“Installation has been defined by its refusal to accept fixed boundaries. Its experimental edge has led artists to examine the boundaries of other disciplines.” Installation artists have found opportunities to collaborate with other areas of study like anthropology, science and technology which creates a wider area of knowledge than just researching the visual aspects. “Installation is seen as moving beyond the physical boundary of a single space into a realm of negotiated interactivity and simultaneity.” (Thames and Hudson)

Ernesto Neto has incorporated his work with an architectural perspective by articulating spaces in buildings representing bodily membranes. The works are highly sensual and the experience that is created is heightened by the aroma of turmeric or cloves which visitors take in before the installation itself.
