There is some interesting installation work coming out of The Practice of Everyday Design. Tigers and geometry seem to partner up quite nicely.

“Claire Morgan was born in Belfast. She attended University of Ulster and Northumbria University where she achieved a first class degree in Sculpture. She is now based in London.
Since graduating she has pursued a career solely as a visual artist. She has exhibited internationally, with solo shows, residencies and commissions across the UK, as well as group exhibitions in Europe. At an early stage she developed a strong interest in the organic, in natural processes, and in the bodily connotations of natural materials. This formed the basis for her practice as an artist creating sculptural installations and continues to influence her work at present.”

I can’t tell you much about artist Simon Schubert because his website is in German. What I can tell you however, is that his work is some of the more interesting artwork I have come across in some time. Looking through it is a brain-melting experience. I only wish I could see it in person to obtain the full effect.

David Spriggs’s artwork is just flat out amazing. It’s beautifully complex yet stunning in simplicity without ignoring concept. The end result is what I am sure must be an experience to behold in person. The above piece was made using sprayed acrylic paint on multiple sheets of transparent film inside a display case.

Alex McLeod is responsible for some highly unusual art installations*.
*Correction: I received a little comment from Alex stating that these are in fact CGI prints, not actual photos of installations. Still interesting and exceptional work nonetheless.

Kay Rosen is an artist whose work is comprised of typographic wordplay, and what I guess I would describe as experiments with word structure and language interpretation. She exhibits this work through installations and produces paintings utilizing color and letterforms that explore word usage and character combinations. Its interesting to see typography used purely as an artform unto itself and see it within the context of high-end contemporary art.

“The Victoria & Albert Museum presents Forever. Floating above the pond within the John Madejski Garden, a large videowall installation of endless animations responding to an ever changing soundtrack. The bespoke generative design system at the heart of Forever will spawn unique audio-visual films everyday, forever.
Pretty damn cool from the brilliant minds behind Universal Everything.

I am really really loving the recent exhibition of artist Valerie Hegarty at Guild & Greyshkul Gallery. Absolutely brilliant work. Discovered via the always inspirational Booooooom.
WK Interact now has a website featuring all of his amazing efforts. He may have had one before but I never knew until now. Either way, it is worth taking a look through. When I was in NYC a few weeks back I saw a lot of his work all over the city.

Neasden Control Centre have just updated with a new website. ‘NCC works broadly across disciplines in creative direction, graphic, installation, film and motion. Since its establishment in the 90’s, it continues to develop by hand a raw, layered, collaged, and primal approach while expanding in scope and vision.’
They have had this dialed since day one, and are a massive inspiration to us all.
