Giant Soft Toy found in the Alps

This pink bunny is something that you only dream about. Definitely worthy of an entry on ‘before I die I must visit’ list.

A five year knitting project by gelitin, a four piece art group who are just genius for making this.

Cloud Gate

Cloud Gate

From one of my favourite scupturists, the Cloud Gate stands like a giant mirrored jelly bean in the Millenium Park in Chicago. I remember when I first saw Kapoor’s work at the Baltic in Newcastle. The Baltic was in the middle of its recycling process into an art gallery and Kapoor used the interior to make this giant red artery tube of a slide. You couldn’t actually slide down it, but I really wanted to, and this is what I love about his work, that it inspires childish imagination and memories.

A rather angelic post seeing as its the date of the devil today.

God versus the devil

The Real Thing

The Real Thing is an installation by Helmut Smits that converts coca-cola into clean drinking water. Rather ingenious. Check out his work.
