Jenny Holzer Makes a Statement

In the late 1970's, Jenny Holzer began creating her first ‘truisms’ in a first stage as a series of one-liners on posters pasted anonymously around NYC. Later she did installations with electronic LED displays that are attentive to architecture, monuments and memorials; and since 1996, large-scale xenon projections of text on buildings and landscape. Holzer is famous for her short statements and phrases on random subjects in the form of slogans.

Her medium is writing, and the public dimension is integral to the delivery of her work. Her practice has rivaled ignorance and violence with humor, kindness, and moral courage. Often Holzer's work presents both explicit content and minimalist aesthetics that make profound statements about the world of advertising and consumer society today.

Josef Schulz: Insignificant Buildings

If you're a fan of Todd Eberle's work, than you'll love Josef Schulz. Schulz is an architectural photographer of industrial buildings, modern warehouses and factories. What makes his photography different than that of Eberle is that his objects are not important architecture landmarks. Instead, Schulz makes the insignificant pre-fab building, shed, factory or warehouse become more remarkable, valuable and relevant with his lens.

Mass-production never looked so good!

The Mood I'm In: October 16th

1st try at this by seanyashar featuring Balmain

..."since sliced bread." Just found out about Polyvore.com, and I'm in ecstasy over it. My new obsession in life is creating electronic mood boards. So much fun, and so handy if you're in the business of design.

The best part about creating a board is that every item is hyperlinked to the website it came from, making it commerce friendly and great for shopping online.

Amazing!
