I was walking down Tenth Avenue,
and saw this incredible " hanging garden"
"accessorating" the facade of Postmasters Gallery!!!
xClinic Farmacy was created by artist/engineer Natalie Jeremijenko, it is "a distributed urban farm aimed at encouraging urban food production, diversifying food systems and improving environmental health. The vertical garden is constructed with Jeremijenko-designed durable, efficient AgBags, in which edibles will be grown and then sold at the green market throughout the summer."
This is an interesting & unusual "ecological accessoration" ....
but I think the bags would get caught
on the shingles at my house!!!
I love artist Sara Sze's installation,
"Still Life With Landscape (Model For A Habitat)"!!!
It is a divine addition to Section 2 of the High Line!!!
And the best part is that the birds love it too!!!
Excellent "accessorating" Sarah!!!
This past weekend I went on a magical mystery tour
of Dianne B's East Hampton fantasy garden!!!!
It was absolutely delightful!!!!
The choice of plants & flowers is extraordinary ....
a visual feast of unusual origin,
it takes your breath away!!!!
But, I especially adored all the "secret accessoraions!!!!"
Pockets of treasures that capture the imagination ...
and delight your eye!!!
Dianne B is certainly an "accessorator supreme" .....
& remember to check out her website for
accessories for your garden!!!!
Artist Brian Tolle's newest permanent site-specific sculpture, "Tempest," appears as an island of flowing of water, an oasis in front of Miami Beach's Bass Museum. Situated among a group of palm tress, in the newly refurbished Collins Park, Tolle has created a spiral maze of blue fiberglass waves, encapsulated by white powder coated aluminum. In addition to the movement created by sculpting the fiber glass, the artist asks the viewer to be an active participation in the piece's movement, by creating a maze. In addition to changing as people walk around it, at night the work takes a dramatic and erie turn when the LED lights go on.
I am fascinated by Brian's public sculptures (blog 7/13/10).
His application of theme, his inspiration of time,
variety of materials, light, & space
all create innovative & interesting site-specific works.
The Marni design team has this created this divine "green parlour"
in the courtyard of their store on the Via Spiga!!!!
By creating this divine installation,
Marni owner Consuelo Castiglioni hopes to
"encourage the return of plants to our urban centers."
Wrapping furniture with black plastic garbage bags looks stunning
and is eco friendly, while still being chic!!!
And the black & white polka patterns create a spectacular visual,
especially with nature's green and Marni's white!!!!
In addition to the flora & fauna in the courtyard,
Sara Rossi's film "Laterna Magica" is projected on the walls!!!
There are no words to describe how fabulous this installation is!!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!
Large Dark Wind Chime (Trotone Wesry), 2008
Powder-coated tempered aluminium, stainless steel, high polymer plastic
Edition 1 of 3 + 1AP
Love, love, love this over-sized wind chime .......
a sculpture by Klaus Weber,
shown by Andrew Kreps Gallery, NYC!!!!
It's super-sized scale would be divine,
hanging from any tree in my backyard .....
And it sounds amazing!!!!
Will Ryman's roses are blooming from 57th to 67th Street,
on Park Avenue, NYC ....
Even in the snow!!!!
Using stainless steel, fiberglass resin,& automotive paint ......
Ryman has created 38 enormous pink & red roses ........
ranging from 3 to 25 feet high, plus 20 rose petals,
that are scattered on the Park Avenue Mall
between 63rd & 54th Streets.
AND you can't forget the creatures that are hidden
among the roses ......
oversized brass ladybugs, spiders, beetles, and bees!!!!
If this isn't an "ultimate accessoration" .....
I don't know what is!!!!
SPECTACULAR!!!
Israeli designer Gal Ben-Arav's bamboo bench is sooo smart!!!
Bamboo is quick growing, extremely plentiful,
& almost impossible to kill ....
the more cutting, the more growth .....
And it's strength makes it durable seating material!!!!
Creator Ben-Arav wants "to maintain the materialism, simplicity,
& natural morphology of the quickly growing species."
Creating two separate cast aluminum framing pieces
allows the size of the bench to adjust,
depending upon the length of the cut bamboo.
The bench is sustainable, ecological & innovative ......
creating a new category of accessorations!!!
