Storm King Art Center

Fence of Mirrors

The subtle reflection of space and its ever

changing qualities is expressed in the work of

Alyson Shotz.

The American artist conceives large-scale

sculptural pieces which stand as mediums in which

one experiences their surrounding environment

with a renewed perspective. Mirror fence is

indicative of Shotzs creative approach whereby

she has constructed a picket fence entirely from

mirror.

The iteration illustrated in this feature was a

commissioned installation for Storm King Art

Center in New York, and exhibits the physical

existence of the barrier being almost completely

obliterated by its glassy surface that casts back

images of the landscape in which it stands.

London, United Kingdom

8th of March: Luisa Casati

Luisa, Marquise Casati Stampa di Soncino (1881 /

1957) was an eccentric Italian heiress, muse, and

patroness of the arts in early 20th-century Europe.

As the concept of dandy was expanded to include

women, the marchesa Casati fitted the utmost

female example by saying: "I want to be a living

work of art".

New York, NY, United States

New York-based design firm Studio Link-Arc in

collaboration with Tsinghua University have

conceived the China pavilion for the Milan Expo

2015 as a field of different spaces.

Hovering over the field of hope on the ground

floor, a floating cloud structure offers a distinctive

undulating roof and shelters the cultural and

exhibition programs beneath.

The Boiler | Pierogi

Orbit!

Sure, it sounds like a self-effacing metaphor gone

off the tracks. No, there's no punchline, and yes,

it's pretty cool. Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder

are currently living and working 24 hours a day intheir "architect performed building" shaped like a

25-foot hamster wheel. The two artists, who have

been collaborating on large-scale installations

since 2007, will inhabit "Orbit" until March 9 and o

view through April 5 at The Boiler in Brooklyn.

Grand Palais Paris

-LAgricoltura Sinergica un metodo di

coltivazione elaborato a partire dagli anni 80 dallagricoltrice spagnola Emilia Hazelip (1938/2003)

adattando al clima mediterraneo i principi dell

agricoltura naturale estrapolati dallagronomo

giapponese Masanobu Fukuoka (1913/2008). Emilia

Hazelip ha definito lAgricoltura Sinergica comela forma di coltivazione pi naturale tra quelle

conosciute, perch lavora con le dinamiche di

fertilit naturali del suolo. In sostanza ci significa

che il suolo migliora e poi mantiene la sua fertilit

se un certo numero di piante vengono piantatedensamente in esso e se si usa la pacciamatura per

imitare lo strato di foglie e compost che si

forma spontaneamente in natura. Non c alcun

bisogno dammendanti di nessun tipo, neanche di

compost, fertilizzanti organici, polvere di roccia,preparati bio-dinamici etc. poich i l suolo, se

trattato correttamente, si comporter come il

suolo naturale selvaggio o incolto.

NeverSeconds

Ms Martha Payne is 9 years old, and one day shehad a very cool idea: what about to blog on what

she eats at school?

Wikipedia explains:

Launched on 30 April 2012 as a school writingproject with assistance from Martha's father David,

the blog is written under the pseudonym "VEG"

(Veritas Ex Gustu truth from tasting), with the

subtitle "One primary school pupil's daily dose of

school dinners".

Much like a restaurant review, it features daily

entries on the 2 school meal that Martha/ "VEG"

has chosen that day, her thoughts on the food and

its quality, a count of the number of hairs,

A very nice course on contemporary gardening in

Torino. Curated by Nicol Taglia, here the link to
