“Photography in abundance” / 24 Hours of Flickr Photos installation by Erik Kessels

“Through the digitalisation of photography and the rise of sites such as Flickr and Facebook, everyone now takes photos, and distributes and shares them with the world - the result is countless photos at our disposal. Kessels visualises ‘drowning in pictures of the experiences of others’, by printing all the images that were posted on Flickr during a 24-hour period and dumping them in the exhibition space. The end result is an overwhelming presentation of a million prints.”

sugary Design Criminals book

The exhibition catalogue with slipcase for the past Design Criminals exhibition at the Vienna MAK is entirely edible. Made with sugar pastillage, Andreas Pohancenik (from Practice + Theory) designed a typographically unique book and signage for the exhibit.

“…If pastillage often historically represented architecture and objects, might this tradition be reversed and allow architecture and design to learn from its now distant relative? If we think of a cake, in some way at least, as an architectural object, might we also be able to think of ways in which architecture and design might be able to possess cake-like qualities?…” —Andreas Pohancenik on “ornament and crime”

Yulia Brodskaya’s Babushka

Paper craft master Yulia Brodskaya explores new challenging techniques and distinguishes art from illustration with her latest paper cut masterpiece.

“…This artwork is the first piece in the series of works which I consider a declaration of love to the material and the technique. It is also an attempt to raise a profile of this paper craft, which has been previously regarded with some disdain, and to bring this type of artwork on a new level in terms of its ability to convey meaning and emotions…” —Yulia Brodskaya
