A collaborative project by New York architecture firm SO-IL and Serbian artist Ana Prvacki, ‘L’air pour l’air’ is a musical performance featuring unusual enclosures designed to filter the air around the performers as they play. Originally presented during the Chicago Architecture Biennal’s opening week in 2017, the production is ever more relevant today, for it highlights current COVID-19 related concerns about air filtering, personal space, and collective experience.

Abraham Poincheval is living inside a bear

Caroline Kurze — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 10:26:03 +0000

Some art appears quite bizzare, such as the artist vomiting paint, Abraham Poincheval could also be put in this category. He decided to live inside a bear carcass for thirteen days and thirteen nights. He has already spent ten days in the bear that is positioned in the center salon at the musée de la chasse et de la nature in Paris and has three more to go.

Just like the animal itself stays with very little enclosure during the cold months, Abraham Poincheval has all he needs to survive throughout the weeks spent inside; food, water, activities and even a place to relieve himself are all contained inside the makeshift unit. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the encased artist, if you’re not around, you can watch him via live stream.

The Mending Project

Caroline Kurze — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:00:54 +0000

The installation ‘The Mending Project’ by Beili Liu consists of thousands of Chinese scissors suspended from the ceiling, pointing downwards. The performer sits beneath the countless sharp blades of scissors, and performs an on-going simple task of mending. As a visitor enters the space, one is asked to cut off a piece of the white cloth hung near the entrance, and offer the cut section to the performer. The mended fabric grows throughout the duration of the performance, and takes over the vast area of the floor beneath the scissors. While the hovering, massive cloud of scissors alludes to distant fear, looming violence and worrisome uncertainty, the mending initiates hope of trust and healing in troubled times.
