Fabienne Verdier

“I enter the surface of the canvas almost explosively.”

About Verdier’s work:

“Verdier paints on sheets of paper or canvases spread out on the floor. Her painting is vertical, playing with gravity, the weight of the paintbrush, the load of the ink and her body. Suspended between heaven and earth, the paintbrush is guided by spirit and hand, its handle at times hanging from over 10 meters of rope and held in place by a pair of bicycle handlebars. Her physical engagement is key: together with preparatory ascetic practice and “suchness” (the path of spontaneous expression), it forms the basis of Verdier’s work. Beyond this spontaneity of the stroke, the ink flow is also guided in producing the work, in particular in her very large formats. Verdier thus disengages from the rules of Chinese painting: she can go on. add to and rework the matter until she finds just the right form.”

ギズモード・ジャパン - 石油流出から自然を守るエアロゲルをペンシルバニア大が開発

ほとんど目で見ることのできないこのエアロゲル、自重の900倍近い量の油を吸収することができる99.9パーセントが空白の物質です。ゲルによって吸収された油は直接絞りだすか、燃焼させて処理することができます。これまでの除去方法である吸着マットにこのエアロゲルを上手く組み合わせれば、その作業効率は改善し、より多くの水生生物を守ることができるようになるかもしれません。

もちろん事故そのものを未然に防ぐことが一番大切ですが、被害を最小限に抑える最後の防衛線としてその活用が期待されます。

Tamara Staples was a shy young woman with a camera when her Uncle Ron invited her to come with him to a chicken show.

The Fancy, as chicken breeders call such gatherings, are the pinnacle events for breeders looking to show off their prize poultry.

Staples, taken by the elevation of the common bird to runway supermodel, hatched an idea that day to return with her camera to another show and photograph what she’d seen.

Twenty-some-odd years later she is still consumed by the birds and explores them in her new book, The Magnificent Chicken: Portraits of the Fairest Fowl.

In an era when chickens are celebrated in pop culture, hipster hot-sauce bottles, and backyard farming, Staples describes her project as unique in showing how chickens can be more than just food.

The bearded Belgium D’uccle Mille Fleur Bantam Cock in the first image and the others that follow, seen here through Staples’s camera lens, appear proud and aware.

murketing:

Photographer Arne Svenson lives on the second floor of an apartment building in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City. For his project “The Neighbors,” he pointed his camera at a luxury apartment building across the street and secretly photographed its inhabitants through open windows.

Those photographs are now being sold for thousands of dollars at a gallery in NYC, but it turns out the subjects aren’t very happy with having their images stealthily snapped and sold.

architectureofdoom:

Dead Cities is an eerily beautiful publication by French artist Guillaume Greff documenting the architecture of Jeoffrécourt, an artificial town of 5,000 imaginary inhabitants in Northern France. As one of several generic urban environments designed by the French military in order to achieve excellence in warfare skills, Jeoffrécourt boasts a variety of architectures, from suburban homes, housing blocks, abandoned factories, to churches and mosques, not to mention specialized components like firing ranges and trained personnel that double as opposing forces and civilians. In his unsparing photographs Greff captures an uncannily pristine, yet ultimately desolate and miserable urban environment, built with the intention of neutralizing rather than sustaining human life.
