Ready. Steady. Go! by Sandra Janser and Elisabeth Koller




"
Sandra Janser and Elisabeth Koller have painted the streets in Graz, Austria "to resemble a running track as part of a regeneration project" Its 750m long and I have no doubt will attract many, a think a visit to Austria is now more imperative!

New Normal publication from Stripe SF

Chris Ashworth



A really interesting portfolio of work that shows the transition of graphic design over the last 30 years, from the David Carson type, Raygun magazine to more clean accessible graphic style of today. We have come a long way as shown in the two examples of very contemporary graphics above, from his work on Edit magazine to magpie sketchbook. G'awn click here!

Some Inspiration for my MP from the Antidesign festival 2010, now I must admit it was not worth all the hype, maybe just a marketing stunt for some....

This is a project by Barbara DeGenevieve, an interdisciplinary artist, where she took 5 African/American homeless men and paid to take their photograph in the nude. It is a very interesting concept and I would urge anyone to check out her site where she has explored many taboo areas. Click here for more.

This is in fitting with my MP, the work is called After Dark by Terence Koh and it explores public spaces at a time when most of us are asleep, for others this is when their day starts! It gestures toward the promiscuous side of you, feeling brave click here!

This is interesting reading as Pavement magazine is registered as a charity on the Charities Commission website. Is the editor Richard Burdett being completely honest when he says that they are not government funded?

As part of the One Small Project....


One billion squatters claim leftover spaces in cities and live in unauthorized dwellings made of locally available, oftentimes scavenged, materials.

"OneSmallProject is not about billions, millions, thousands, or even hundreds. It is not about pounds or percentages.

It asks you to think outside the fascination with powerful men, trophy buildings, and great patrons that has for too long defined the architectural profession. In its place, OneSmallProject offers an empowering agenda that encourages each of us to create small projects alongside some one typically considered powerless.

It is about one.

One person. One architect. One small project. Repeat.

It is about one because persons need assistance. Now.

It is about one because we’ve lost touch with our humanness. As said by Fillip Noterdaeme, director of The Homeless Museum: “there are more homeless people among the privileged than on the streets of Manhattan.” It is you who is without a home.

It is about one because we have much to learn from others. According to Neuwirth: “[S]quatters mix more concrete than any developer. They lay more brick than any government. . . Squatters are the largest builders of housing in the world — and they are creating the cities of the future.”
