#Banksy – really arrested or still at large?

21. Oktober 2014 von schall & rauch

Yesterday, news broke on the National Report that the famously elusive and as of yet unidentified (much to the horror of the London police force) graffiti artist Banksy was arrested by a 24-hour task force in a supposedly very clever and elaborate investigation culminating in a grand finale of the raid of (one of) the artist’s studios. Finally revealing his IDENTITY. And bringing him to JUSTICE. Soon after, more ‚vandalism‘ was posted on Banksy’s homepage with yet another one of […]

Physics, #art and history: the Well-Tempered #Hygrometer – an #installation by Anna Kubelik

5. November 2013 von schall & rauch

Art exists within its own right. Art is not about function. Or is it? Anna Kubelik, a Berlin-based performative object and space artist seems intent on proving that it is or at least can be. Meet the Well-Tempered Hygrometer. This is not just any modern hygrometer with a digital display telling you about the relative humidity of air, so you know how to style your hair or if you should take an umbrella along, just in case. This amazing piece […]

Oh, the #Farmer & the Cowman – Geographical #shelving for nerds #designed by Ron Arad

1. November 2013 von schall & rauch

Okay, I admit it. I was ignorant. I didn’t yet know that Ron Arad is a renowned if not even famous London-based Israeli industrial designer, architect and artist. Did you? Anyhoo, this piece of his is called „2009, Oh The Farmer & the Cowman Should Be Friends„. Don’t ask me why (he’s always been traumatised by the fact that farmers and cowmen don’t like each other? Which poses another question: Why would he think that?) but it’s a pretty cool […]

What is the world made of? Ursus Wehrli knows the answers: The Art of Clean Up

11. Juli 2013 von schall & rauch

To get to the bottom of things – it really has been the most persistent curse of humankind (besides having to kill each other at regular intervals). Industrialisation, chemicals, nuclear energy, plastic bags, asbestos: each the result of ever-curious minds on a mission to find out what holds the world together in its inmost folds, a successful advancement at first and dangerous or even deadly in the long run. In contrast, Ursus Wehrli, a Swiss artist and performer, has found […]

Young artist creates amazing drawings in the midst of a war crazed world: George Butler

16. April 2013 von schall & rauch

He travels to some of the most dangerous places in the world, where wars rage and one never knows what will happen around the next corner. He usually only has 20 minutes to capture a scene and make a drawing. It’s too dangerous to stay in one spot for too long. I’m not too sure if he’s brave, crazy or just plain stupid to put himself in these kinds of places and situations of his own free will. All I […]
