Zhang Huan

I just found this page from Artzine on Zhang Huan

Here's a piece with which I was previously unfamiliar.

I never like the big stuffed animal pieces (teddy bears 16 ft high etc.) that were big in the 80s/90s, but this is fundamentally different.

Even though I don't find it as conceptually rich as some of his other work, this 2003 piece is still one of my favorites.

It feels a bit like that to me.

fes calendar?/graffiti?

Saw these in fes, at first I thought that it was graffiti.

However after having seen them in a few places with different icons in the date boxes, I'm not so sure.

If anyone knows, please leave a comment (the writing above it is probably a clear explanation, but since I can't read Arabic, my ignorance is unabated).

Container Architecture

Just got a copy of Container Architecture by Jure Kotnik.

The best book about buildings made from containers that I know of.

It has photos of a lot of interesting structures including
Speybank by Luc Deleu



and

Is this really better?

As promised, the Allston X-men mural has been painted over.

I have to ask though on what planet is this

better than this

even in its unfinished state?
