Zhang Huan - Three Legged Buddha (2008)


Zhang Huan took on the role of stage director for Handel's opera Semele (1743) in 2009. Did anyone see that? It was performed in Belgrum (2009), China (2010), Canada (2012). The stage art was very Chinese.

Great stuff as always, that version of Handel looks mighty interesting:

I would not recognize that Aguilar's works (and some others recently posted) as art works if I encounter them without background knowledge.   Maybe I am too conservative. But that is why I love to see the posts of art by you and others. Seeing them expands my perception.

Two Artists Living In a Hamster Wheel


Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder lived in this giant hamster wheel for 10 days (from February 28th to March 9th). Shelley lived on the exterior of the wheel, and Schweder on the interior, because he's afraid of heights. They needed to sync their life style: when one wants to use a chair, the other needs to use his chair, too.

For me that's the entire point of this thread and the 21st century classical music thread. The whole point is to expand your conception of what is art or what is classical music. That's why they are the two threads I reference the most on this site.

Mamma Andersson - Goodbye (2013)

[Henk]

I love those ones picked by you Torut.

Today I saw some documentary by an Icelandic artist, I don't know his name but he spoke Dutch and was pro Europe (Iceland said they don't want to be part of Europe). Good stuff. And dutch artist Rob Scholte also this week, good artist!

[torut]

Thank you, Henk. Rob Scholte is the artist who lost his legs by a hand grenade that exploded under his car? According to Daily News, Scholte hired a detective when the investigation by the police stuck and found out that he was mistakenly targeted by an assassin. His works look nice.

Yes he has no legs. Didn't know about the accident. Very prolific artist, a guy with much ideas.

That's good. Other album covers are also nice. (I have not heard the music.)

According to a comment on this page (see the bottom), the image of the Johns' work comes from an executioner's block. Weird?

Imagine that Jasper Johns artwork turned into music.

Thank you. It's like music for decapitation.

I think Greg(?) asked about Escher-like art in a past post. This seems to fit.
His drawings are fantastic.

[EDIT] fixed the image link. Does it work now? The old one displayed on MacBook but didn't on tablet. Thank you for pointing it out, Greg.
