Two Hulls House by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects

This project is situated in a glaciated, coastal landscape, with a cool maritime climate. The geomorphology of the site consists of granite bedrock and boulder till, creating pristine white sand beaches, and turquoise waters.

The two pavilions float above the shoreline like two ship’s hulls up on cradles for the winter, forming protected outdoor places both between and under them. This is a landscape-viewing instrument; like a pair of binoculars, first looking out to sea. A third transverse ‘eye’ looks down the coastline, and forms a linking entry piece.

Using countless transparent layers of gouache, Japanese artist Kazuki Takamatsu(featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 16) creates paintings that mimic 3D depth mapping technology. Takamatsu executes this holograph-like effect entirely by hand, giving his viewers a glimpse into an illusory world populated by ghostly, Lolita-esque figures. Takamatsu recently opened his solo show, “Japanese Ideology of Puberty,” at Culver City’s Corey Helford Gallery. Take a look at some opening night photos courtesy ofTheonepointeight to view the exquisite level of detail in Takamatsu’s paintings. The exhibition will be on view through May 11.

Last weekend, CHG Circa in Culver City opened a solo show featuring a decade’s worth of artworks from digital artist Ray Caesar. Working with 3D modeling technology, Caesar has cultivated a world with a distinct flavor and rich storyline that seems to have infinite facets. Though his aesthetic is instantly recognizable, Caesar’s subject matter always stays varied. Elements of science fiction can be found within the work as easily as tidbits of Rococo interiors and high fashion — but all these influences are warped through Caesar’s surreal imagination. Take a look at some photos from the opening night courtesy of Theonepointeight below and check out “New and Rare Works” at CHG Circa through May 11.

INTERACTIVE INSTAGRAMMING!

Chicago-based, Photographer & Designer, Paul Octavious has been cranking out some incredible projects. One in particular has me checking his Instagram feed on the regular. The Book Collection features stacks of books Paul arranges in a obsessive color wheel fashion to resemble numbers.

Here’s the best part, the project is currently in an interactive phase through his Instagram. You submit your favorite number and tell him why it’s meaningful to you and you might just find that he’s stacked it, posted it and thanked you for adding to his project the following week. Right now he’s only accepting numbers 1-100.

two sittings: totaling 1 hour and 53 minutes

discarding the rules
extending the commitment of time

progression— a feeling of falling
a fear of failing
and compulsion wins over
rationalization and obligation

Caux Collective Redirects: DYSKOGRAF

Many of us may have the urge to pour our untapped creativity into the production of music, but find our efforts come to nothing due to the inability to master an instrument. However, not all hope is lost, as a wonderfully innovative solution has been found to this problem by a French Duo consisting of Audio Visual Performer & Producer, Jesse Lucas and Musician & Composer, Erwan Raguenes. With the creation of the ‘DYSKOGRAF’ participants of all ages are encouraged to visit the facilities and take it upon themselves to create a loop of electronic sounds.

If you’d like to read more head over to Inspirez, where you can find this post in it’s entirety, including additional images and further links.
