All that is solid…is a site specific project performed at the garden of the Polyforum Siqueiros Museum. The quote “All that is solid melts into air.” was traced with breadcrumb on the grass so the birds could gradually eat it.

Follow your folly now

gerhard — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:04:58 -0400

This summer my wife and I made a dream come true and cycled from Vancouver down to San Francisco. One evening in a small town we found a beer called “Fat Tire”. What a gorgeous name for a beer if you´re cycling the coast. Back in germany I tried to get “Fat Tire” delivered to my home town. Unfortunately it’s impossible. But what I found out was that there is an unbelievable brand beyond the beer. It’s called “New Belgium” and the claim is “Follow your folly”. Whow! This means so much more to me than “Find your way” or something stupid like this I had in my mind when I though about designing a sentence out of google maps icons while I was planning my bicycle trip. Thanks to “New Belgium” for the inspiration, their funny website (which I look at almost every day) and of course the beer.
Anyway I like any kind of maps. They’re telling stories about adventures. They make me go out and find out.

I wanted to make it look as through ‘yourself’ was a puppet to ‘you’. Illustrating that you are a puppet to only yourself.
I’m still trying to figure all this out, and I’ll probably continue playing with it from this day on. Hopefully I can stop holding myself back and break out of my shell and create something amazing.

One day I should learn to cook

schekaluk — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 02:15:43 -0400

As a student, proper meal planning is often a fleeting thought. This composition consists of one of my hopes of having proper meals. They typographic elements were created from foods I have in fact eaten in my day as a student, coffee and donuts for breakfast, fries for lunch, and a fast food full meal for dinner, actually arranged and photographed.
“One day” is imposed against a blue sky, purposely floating like a lofty notion in one’s mind.
“I should” is imposed onto a dinner plate held up by a woman. I used this to portray the obligation a woman traditionally has to preparing meals for a mate.
“learn to cook” was imposed on a slate blackboard, like those used in schools.

That which is broken is not easily fixed

Don't Talk About It, Be About It

cnaths — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:38:10 -0400

Someone once said this to me and it really stuck. Maybe it’s because an influential person in my childhood always talked about what was going to happen, but never did anything to reach that end. I think it’s more than just achievement or being true to your word; it’s about gaining respect, it’s about humility and seeing yourself for who you really are.

We believe that expression should not be fade by the fear of being criticized by others. To illustrate this maxim, we created some large scale types by using only white cloths,
paper and thread on natural landscapes as background.

suyog — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:30:26 -0400

It was only recently that I got to see the movie “Into the Wild” and know about Christopher McCandless’ life. This was the sentence that he wrote in his diary during his last few days in Alaska probably realizing the need for humans to be connected. The sentence struck a chord in my mind since it has been a learning for me too. Sharing one’s happiness does indeed make the world a beautiful place to live in. The photographs are taken from a small town in India. The joy of sharing a dive and going for a swim in their birthday suits is written all over the faces.

Learn to read between the lines

annemieke teresa van twuijver — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 05:11:01 -0400

I am an art school student at Dogtime/Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (The Netherlands). After the last exams before the summer break, my teachers wrote in my report that they were confident, and I quote, ‘That I will make a good work one day in the future’. When that made me cry, they told me that they love my work, that they think I sure have talent and and that my report was, and I quote again, ‘Something to be quite jealous of.’ From that day on I tell myself to read between the lines. That white space is like non-verbal communication with different rules and different messages. In between the lines ‘You suck’ actually means ’ You are great’. Maybe we should forget about the lines all together and just go for the blancs. Voids can be nurturing when you want them to.

Honesty Can Solve Any Problem

Honesty Can Solve Any Problem is created on the Tenori-On. The clean simplicity of the technology shows us the mathematical truth of the universe where as the chaotic sounds and random movements represent humanities flawed voices that speak in half truths. But flawed or not it is still part of the same system as the rest of it, so we do have the tools, it is just a matter of using them.

The tide goes in and out twice a day and its ’ all change’ every time.
