Starbricks
Expanding on my previous post about danish artist Olafur Eliasson, one of his latest creations are these geometric LED shapes he calls “starbricks”. They stack together a little bit like legos.
In my studio, we initially focused on the spatial challenges involved in the shaping of a complex geometric brick. This led to the development of the star-shaped modules, based on a stackable principle, which produce three types of space: the solid structure of the module itself, the negative space at its core in the form of a ‘cubeoctahedron’, and the polyhedric shapes that appear between the modules when stacked.
Olafur Eliasson
Olafur Eliasson is a danish artist whose work with light, geometry and space have been featured in some high profile, very stunning gallery exhibitions (he had one in San Francisco at the MoMa last year).
Carmen Herrera
I caught an article in the NY times on this 94 year old Cuban painter just now getting recognition. Pretty amazing work really.
