RISE & CRUMBLE OF A PAPER CITY

Paper City

Maciek Janicki's delicate animation follows the charming rise and fold of a fragile metropolis.

Paper City grows in one fluid take, with skyscrapers rising from the page – only to crumble, wrinkle and gently crease back into the ground.

MOT 1 [MAN OF TALENT] ANDY MACGREGOR

Andy Macgregor, handsome model and wicked stylist in one... Always a delight to look at his website. So delectable. What I like about his work is the craftiness of it. No wonder we [the old fashioned teachers of beauty] still want students to draw, cut and paste... 

Here's Andy 

And here's a querschnitt of his work... but please go to his site and browse....

ART OF FOLDING

THINK INTO THE BOX

The Parisian architect Stéphane Malka turned an empty room into a gorgeous minimalist landscape by filling it with the humblest of humble objects, the cardboard box.

 

 

 

The Parisian architect Stéphane Malka turned an empty room into a gorgeous minimalist landscape by filling it with the humblest of humble objects, the cardboard box.
The installation, Rue Sans Frontieres (No Limits in the Streets), was made up of hundreds of boxes painted semi-gloss white, then glued together and thrown up around 2,045-square-foot gallery in Moscow. Like a happy Cubist explosion, they littered the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. It's what you might've gotten had you put Picasso and Kengo Kuma in a Mail Boxes Etc. together.

The exhibit was designed for a Moscow arts fair, and unfortunately, it isn't up any more. Check more photos and Malka's artist's statement here.
