Spirals abound in Louise Bourgeois’s art. She says they make her think of control and freedom, and of strangling someone.

| Wire Sculpture Jewelry | | 2007-11-11 13:05:13 | | Some wire wrapping is so good it just has to be called sculpture. You can take a gemstone of any shape or size and enhance its beauty by enclosing it in beautiful gold or silver frame. Creating wire sculpture jewelry is one of those crafts that fall into the category of there is no wrong way to do it.Because the tools needed are simple—pliers, pin vises, file, wire cutters, and mandrels—wire sculpture can be learned and performed in home studios. The wire used may be of a variety of decorative metals in different cross-sections. Beads and gemstones can also be integrated into the design.Oval Tree Agate Pendant by Preston ReutherBlue/Gray Tree Agate wrapped in 14kt rolled gold wireWire sculpture is experiencing a quiet revolution. Today, colleges offer wire sculpture as a standard item of art curriculum.

| Pablo Valbuena - Augmented sculpture | | 2007-10-24 03:30:00 | | Pablo Valbuena, architecte et artiste d'origine espagnole de 28 ans, a étudié à l'ETSAM (Escuela técnica superior de arquitectura de Madrid). A travers différents projets, il étudie l'espace, et sa relation avec le temps et la perception en créant des installations artistiques.
Ce projet présente la qualité temporaire de l'espace, en transformant l'espace dans le temps. Pour ce faire, deux niveaux sont installés : une architecture physique, controlant l'espace et mettant en volume la base qui supporte le niveau suivant; et une projection virtuelle qui permet de contrôler la transformation dans le temps. L'addition des deux niveaux rend l'architecture physique sensible à la mutation et établit la relation entre le temps, l'espace et la perception qui en découle. La lumière construit, souligne un espace, puis le soustrait, l'efface, l'annule et définit de nouvelles formes, de nouvelles limites. L'installation est accompagnée de sons "synesthétiques", selon Pablo Valbuena.
Cette oeuvre a été présentée à Medialab Madrid et Ars Electronica 2007.
Pablo Valbuena, a 28 years old spanish architect and artist, studied at ETSAM (Escuela técnica superior de arquitectura de Madrid). Through different projects, he studies space, and its relation with time and perception by creating artistic installations.
This project introduces the temporary quality of space, by transforming space in time. To do so, two levels are installed : a physical architecture, controlling space and shaping the base that supports the next level; and a virtual projection that allows the transformation in time. The sum of thes two levels makes the physical architecture sensitive to mutation and thus constructs the relation with time, space and perception. The light builds, underlines space, then substracts it, erases it, and defines new shapes, new boundaries. The installation also comprises "synesthetic" sounds, according to Pablo Valbuena

| Paris dealer decides to sell his "liveable sculpture" | | 2007-09-04 17:16:00 | | "The house is a sort of livable sculpture," Trigano said. "Le Corbusier invented a beautiful expression for his houses that I think we can use here: 'inhabitable poems.' You feel you are in a refuge completely isolated from the world. We lived there for 15 years. It was formidable. "The asking price for the four-level house, which is 400 square meters or 4,300 square feet, is €4 million, or almost $5.5 million. The site totals 6,000 square meters, or about 1.5 acres, and there is a caretaker's house and a garage.
