Richard J. Evans has created this piece “Information Leak,” which includes laser-cut wooden letters. It was his final project while at FEED, Matthew Boulton College. He explains, “What I tried to do was visually represent the way information is so easily leaked into today’s society, through the Internet and television. Pretty much anything you can imagine, you can get your hands on. With such an abundance of information, I feel as though it over-flows into our lives and the typography is purposefully hard to read to reflect this.” Flowing like a faucet, nice work.

Amazing!
I found Venske and Spänle through Art Splash. Instantly I was struggling to figure out what these bulbous sculptures were all about. They’re quite disturbing, but also seem to be a bit cute, too. They remind me of the bizarre photographs of Daniel Barron.

Meryl Pataky is a San Francisco-based artist finishing her BFA in Sculpture at the Academy of Art University. Working with personal narrative and human condition, she masters the art of mixed media using a variety of materials for their seemingly tactile nature.

Clemens Behr’s new show, Black White Everything (and Me), will be at ROJO®artspace Barcelona starting on March 16, 2010.
For the show he will do an “cut during assembly” installation for the Rojo Art Space Barcelona. Using the existing colors of the gallery’s visual appearance — black walls, white light, wooden ground and a red grid — he decided only to work with those colors, wood and anything else he can find during his stay in Barcelona. Not knowing what materials he will find when in Barcelona is part of the appeal and excitement of Behr’s spontaneous, process-orientated installation.

When: March 16, 2020 – April 30, 2010
Where: ROJO®artspace Barcelona, Carrer Girona 61. 08009 Barcelona, Spain

Fantastic execution.
