Mobstr - The Story (2012)
The first installation of The Story was a simple “Once upon a time…” The artist expected maintenance crews to paint over his graffiti. As soon as the wall was cleaned, Mobstr proceeded with the second installation, which was then also painted over, and so on until the narrative was completed. His intention was to create an indirect “teamwork” between two opposing societal forces exemplified by street artist and street maintenance crew.
Everything Is ‘Fuyun’
What does it mean for something to be a ‘floating cloud’?
An internet slang that has enjoyed a relatively long life for a buzzword is 浮云 fúyún, with its literal translation “floating clouds”. Fúyún’s extended meaning is similar to a mirage; transient and insubstantial.
The word is most often used in the phrase:
神马都是浮云
Shén mǎ dōu shì fú yún
Everything is nothing/floating clouds.
神马, which literally translates to “divine horse”, is the internet slang version of 什么 (shénme, what). This sentence could be used to express “nothing means anything,” “everything is trivial,” “nothing worth to be mentioned,” and “nothing matters.”
Fuyun first appeared in Analects《论语》, where Confucius said “不义富且贵，于我如浮云” (bú yì fù qiě guì, yú wǒ rú fúyún, Wealth and position obtained by unrighteous means are to me floating clouds).
Ball-Nogues Studio. Euphony, 2013. Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
Project process: Catenary stainless steel ball chains descent dramatically from a suspended elliptical ring beam and then return skyward on a new path forming two shells of pattern and color. We produced a translucent three-dimensional painting, fabricated with a custom digital cutting machine. Depending on the viewer’s vantage point, the 1141 multi-colored chains of Euphony may appear as a hard-edged geometric form or blur to a vapor-like visual composition. Materials: stainless steel ball chain, steel tube, baked
If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”

infraAn unsettlingly striking series of large-scale photographs, shot with infrared film— that present acidic, vivid scenes of the Congo and Congolese fighters in over-saturated, candy colored pinks.
It’s like a fairytale.
