TateShots: Rodchenko and Popova

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Tate Moderns exhibition explores the work of Aleksandr Rodchenko and Liubov Popova, who sparked a revolution in Russian art. The Constructivists challenged the idea of the work of art as a unique commodity, and believed that it could contribute to everyday life through design, architecture, theatre and film.  In this interview, one of the show’s curators Ben Borthwick looks at how their paintings, however abstract, can still be mapped back to things that exist in the real world.
Rodchenko & Popova: Defining Constructivism, Tate Modern, until 17 May

Amazing Magnetic Art Sculpture!!

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

This art piece is by SACHIKO KODAMA and currenly on display at the Samuel Freeman Gallery at the Bergamot Station, in Santa Monica, CA. THIS VIDEO IS NOT TIME LAPSE. IT IS ALL FILMED AND PLAYED BACK IN REAL TME.

In 2000, Sachiko began work on a ferrofluid art project that she named “Protrude, Flow”.
Ferrofluid is a very interesting material originally developed by NASA it has now found itself been used for a whole range of devices including dampers for controlling and stabilizing large building that move around in the wind. Whats also amazing is that they have such lovely visual qualities when magnetized. The term liquid architecture is used a lot in interactive architecture based on the ideas of how architecture becomes animated by adding the 4th Dimension of Time. Sachiko has taken this idea of liquid architecture more literally with these stunning sculptures made from Ferrofluid which changes its state by the introduction of electro-magnetic waves into the fluid turning it solid. As you stand around and watch this piece, you get literally mesmerized as the ferrofluid (guided by magnets) follows its track and changes its forms.

Music is by Phillip Glass
