Seven on Seven - Rhizome
Seven on Seven will pair seven leading artists with seven game-changing technologists in teams of two, and challenge them to develop something new —be it an application, social media, artwork, product, or whatever they imagine— over the course of a single day. The seven teams will unveil their ideas at a one-day event at the New Museum on April 17th.


This will be interesting…

Bryan Boyer featured in unhappyhipsters:

At the art opening, he’d been convinced the blank canvas symbolized endless possibilities. Back at home, it was just one more reminder of his own desperation.

 Chemical Balance, designed by Jean Shin, is a light installation project using thousands of prescription bottles (collected from nursing homes, pharmacies, and individuals’ medicine-cabinets) and fluorescent lights.

This speaks to our culture’s over-consumption of prescription drugs and our bodies’ dependency on these medications. It also acts like a group portrait, mapping our society’s chemical intake.

The most valuable works of art are increasingly not unique, but rather part of an edition…

…These things are valuable because they’re not unique; because there are enough versions of them that they’ve managed to gain extremely wide currency.

Yet his new project sounds like a big-budget Hollywood movie with a distinctly Hirstian title, “Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable.

“It’s a story of a ship, called the ‘Unbelievable,’ that sank 2,000 years ago,” Hirst said. “It was carrying a lot of treasures, sculptures, jewels and things like that, to create a palace. And it sank and was lost forever.”

Though this prehistoric Titanic is pure fiction, the artist will treat it as reality. He plans to stage the discovery of the ship, send divers to recover its many treasures, photograph the process and then make paintings based on the photographs.

This sounds awful, but ingenious at the same time. Glad he’s back to the bawdy arrogant stance towards art in that he plans Sculptures will be based on famous works from art history, including Michelangelo’s “Rebellious Slave” at the Louvre in Paris. “I’ll predate them before Michelangelo almost like he’s seen them and copied them,” Hirst said. “I thought it would be a lot of fun to not know: Is this real? Isn’t this real? What is real? Am I real?”

Not so much any more, I’m afraid.

Untitled by Anish Kapoor (2009)
BLDGBLOG has a great post, full of images, on an upcoming Guggenheim exhibition called Contemplating the Void.

New York’s Guggenheim Museum “invited more than two hundred artists, architects, and designers to imagine their dream interventions in the space.”

In this exhibition of ideal projects, certain themes emerge, including the return to nature in its primordial state, the desire to climb the building, the interplay of light and space, the interest in diaphanous effects as a counterpoint to the concrete structure, and the impact of sound on the environment.

These and many other images will be on display when the exhibition, Contemplating the Void, opens February 12, 2010.

As a (too good to be coincidental) prelude to this exhibition, the space has already been transformed by Tino Sehgal, whose current exhibition has removed all of the visual art from the rotunda. There is literally nothing that screams ART! on the walls or in the void. However, if you stare from the top down, you will notice one unmistakeable couple that can’t stop making out and the rhythmic pattern of people-in-conversation ambling slowly upwards.
