Richard Wilson - Turning the Place Over (2007)
“An ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.”

Berenice Abbott, Photography and Science: An Essential Unity is the inaugural exhibition for the MIT Museum’s new Kurtz Gallery for Photography. It will run through Dec. 31, 2012.
About the exhibit:
Renowned for her early to mid-century photography in Paris and New York, Abbott also spent time at MIT during the late 1950’s when she was hired to create new photographic images for the teaching of physics.
Berenice Abbott spent two years at MIT creating photographs that memorably document the principles of physical science - mechanics, electromagnetism, and waves. She often developed innovative techniques for capturing scientific phenomena, including one for very detailed, close-in photography that she called Super Sight.
Abbott was a collaborative artist who used the potent force of her imagination to illustrate, and to inspire scientists, whom she viewed as fellow creators, grounded in reality, but ready to make leaps of discovery.

Aakash Nihalani | on Tumblr (b.1986, USA) - Play Ground (2010) / Through / Rainborough II / Armslength (2011) Paper tape and cardboard, Brooklyn, New York
The Brooklyn based artist Aakash Nihalani‘s street art work consists of mostly isometric rectangles and squares. He uses electrical tape to sketch three-dimensional shapes and selecticly places these graphics on public surfaces around New York. For however brief, Aakash is offering viewrs a chance to step into a different New York than they are used to seeing, and in return, momentarily escape from routine schedules and lives. “I try to create a new space within the existing space of our everyday world for people to enter freely, and unexpectedly “disconnect” from their reality.” (cf. artist’s statement) Take a closer look at his work at ARTchipel today’s feature. You can also visit artist’s website or follow him on Tumblr for more work.

A sober and atypically flawed NYC resident who practices and teaches Muay Thai, loves art & can be found recklessly riding a bicycle w/a camera in 1 hand & cell phone in the other. Expect to see NYC from my view point, vintage and or muscle cars, street art, random architecture and interesting bicycles. Brought to you by Brent A Bartley.
