Be Your Own Souvenir
Be Your Own Souvenir project by Blablabla:
“This proposal aims to connect street users, arts and science, linking them to under-laying spaces and their own realities. The installation was enjoyed during two weekends in January 2011 by the tourists, neighbours of La Rambla and citizens of Barcelona, a city that faces a trade-off between identity and gentrification, economic sustainability and economic growth.
This shapes through a technological ritual where the audience is released from established roles in a perspective exchange: spectator-performer, artist-tourist, observer-object.
The user becomes the producer as well as the consumer through a system that invites him/her to perform as a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figure of him/herself printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of the person generated by the use of three structured light scanners (kinect).
The project mimics the informal artistic context of this popular street, human sculptures and craftsmen, bringing diverse realities and enabling greater empathy between the agents that cohabit in the public space.”

Qaddafi’s American-Jet-Crushing Golden Fist Sculpture
This is a golden fist crushing an American jet, and may have been commissioned after Ronald Reagan ordered airstrikes on the country in 1986. And, yes, it does exists.

“A moving picture is a real thing and as a real thing it is not imitation. It does not reflect on life, it embodies the life of the mind.” -Ernie Gehr

Left-handed Rietveld Chair
Left-handed Rietveld Chair is a work by Julien Berthier:
“Red and Blue Chair” by Gerrit Rietveld (1918) drawn with my left hand, and built by scrupulously following the resulting drawing. The prototype was then given to a carpenter who produced a serie of five identical copies.”

Medusa
A brand new street installation by Laura Keeble (remember the famous Hirst’s skull prank?). Now Versace has to deal with Medusa in person…
“The installation of Medusa outside the Versace store was to discuss the ownership of Medusa by the fashion house. A relationship between the single Versace mannequin within the store shopfront and Medusa also reflected the acceptance of what is beautiful and the outcasting of what is deemed ugly, by those that consider themselves an authority. Medusa with her shopping bags turned to stone by the very horror that is herself reflected in the use and ownership of an ancient icon to sell goods.”

Evolving Sculpture
“A machine in the roof rotates with a speed of one revolution per hour. Every minute it let one gram of hotglue drop down on the floor. During time a sculpture takes form.”
