ship me to connecticut.

I would like someone to go and install this in my backyard vicinity now.

This 16-feet tall KAWS companion missioned its bum
all the way from the 852 Hong Kong (love) to grace the
Aldrich Contemporary Museum in Connecticut with its presence.

frozen foods.

It's funny how humans constantly try to preserve things:

Mummys, seran wrap, tin foil... thermos-es...

OR

Freeze them in a block of ice and show them off to the world.

Twisted?

I think not.

Over 450 types of marine life are frozen in life-like poses in an ICE AQUARIUM.

These blocks of ice are illuminated with a blue light to help

splash some "life" back into them... (or so I assume)

Either that, or they're just really into making everything

look cool and club like with an explosion of LEDs.

Opened in 2002, they've got your entire Japanese seafood menu in here:

octopus, salmon, tuna, crab...& if that wasn't enough

for you, they also have a hunk of Antartic ice & various

forms of ice art =)

It is asked that you wear your Canada Goose/TNA jackets

in this environment since the entire place is @ -20degrees celsius.

Kinda cooooooooool don't cha think ;)

ZAHA HADID (...) x 'Supermatism' (...)

'Galerie Gmurzynska' in Zurich, an exhibition designed & curated by Zaha Hadid herself.
The entire exhibition is of Zaha Hadid's works alongside early 20th century Russian art.

The exhibit showcases this Pritzker Prize winning architect's love for Russian
Avant-Garde art; drawing similarities between the bodies of work.

Striking and contrasting explosions of graphics in the entrance space. Something that probably would look bad in a rendering but fantastic in person/photograph.

There's something about bold graphics in an interior space that
makes it scream "BAM" and fresh.

The undeniable links between Suprematist artists and Hadid are present through her entire
career starting with her very own grad project in 1976-1977.it makes me laugh when people look at this and imagine it to be art works of the
current day, how it looks sci-fi and all when really this kinda art and funk has been
around for the past 100. & if u wondered if these "blobs" were just "blobs" they're really not, they all had real social and political meaning/substance.

If this thing really juices out clouds, happiness and PASTEL COLOURED IDEAS-- i gotta cop myself one of those.

itsy bitsy.

Viennese/Croatian designers. Collective For Use/Numen.

As gross that those 8-legged-monsters-from-hell are.
This, inspired by those demon-seeds, is actually quite serene + enchanting.

Self-supporting, packing-tape jungle gym.
The piece grew as time went on, starting small inside a Croatian gallery,
this web spun itself large.

If this is a life of an ugly creature, sign me up.
