the black hole

Coudal.com has been a great source of content for the blog

(museum of online museums, etc.) with all of their interesting

finds online. Coudal Partners has also begun to tackle film making.

While doing research for another film, they stumbled upon a very

interesting fellow in Los Alamos, NM and were so struck that they

decided to make a series about him. I actually met him and visited

his store this summer while on a trip visiting family in New Mexico.

Take a few minutes to watch these beautifully shot stories.

Laboratory Conditions

something we'd like to not have happen...

The Tate Modern has a new installation in their Great

Turbine Hall by Doris Salcedo. The space was memorably

transformed a few years ago for

Olafur Eliasson's 'The Weather Project' and is again for

'Shibboleth'. A hairline crack turns into a chasm about 4

inches apart at it's greatest width and stretches 584 across

the entire length of the hall. A cast from a rock wall in the

artist's native Columbia to gives the floor it's texture.

It is said to symbolize the history of racism and the

inquality amoung countries.

funny face

Ok, yes it's a little silly but it's still fun.

Faces in Places site documents the faces

they find in everyday places.

A hotel that travels the world?? Hotel Everland is currently sitting atop

the Palais du Tokyo museum in Paris

(by the way, this museum is a must see for any trip to Paris).

Back to the hotel. It is a travelling art installation by two Swiss

artists that began in 2002. For that drop-dead view, you can

actually book the room for a night.
