UrbanArt. Installation. World Cultural Heritage "Völklinger Hütte": Two giant faces made of foil were glued onto two old giant tanks of the disused steelworks. The upright tanks are connected with pipes. In front, a long rusty pipe leads from one center to the other center of the tanks. The artists have mounted photos of former employees to give a panoramic view of the head. The two, man and woman, are making faces and each has the end of the pipe in their mouths.
Info: Berlin-based artist collective Mentalgassi has become known for its whimsical urban art. For example, they have pasted large-format images of friends, acquaintances or family members onto round containers for glas, which they have processed into circular images using a printing process they developed themselves.

Tonight I'm listening to another pure digital remix. This one is Neil Young's Harvest album. I first listened to this with headphones back in 1976 and am doing that right now. I still have the album I bought all those years ago. I remember bringing it home and my housemate, an artist and designer, was impressed by the album cover. So we gave that 33 a spin on my turntable. #RIP Ron, those were the days! #Music #headphones #Classics

Oh, adding the #classics tag in case it helps. And it'd need to be something that wouldn't need to be fired again afterward if it's gonna work as a pencil cup or whatever; I have plenty of access to painting supplies for my students, but not, so far as I'm aware, anything like a kiln. Nor would I ask them to take on that level of work for the project.

Okay, so! If anyone with 3D printing experience would like to chime in (and do feel free to boost), what I would like to find is:

1) files that will let me print replicas of ancient Greek objects (or Roman, but Greek's better);

2) ideally, art objects, like statues & reliefs;

3) best of all, with Greek mythological figures/scenes;

4) at the most ideal, /at actual size/, so statuettes & other very small pieces would be perfect.

Streetart - Installation. An art installation on the corner of a house wall. A giant bee was assembled from plastic garbage and sprayed with black and yellow paint. The large animal is made of black garbage bags, wires, plastic containers and much more and together with the green sprayed background looks very real and also a little creepy.

🐦Artist: #PEZ & #DannyRecal in City: #Amsterdam Immanuel Kanthof 1, Street Art Museum (SAMA) Nederlands 🇳🇱 2014 - Title: untitled (📷 by 33_philip) - #Streetart #Art #Mastoart #Mural #Graffiti #Artwork #Classics

Streetartwall. On the outer wall of an approximately two-story modern building is sprayed / painted a mural of two artists. In the center is a painting with a frame that shows a peasant woman pouring out a milk jug. She is wearing a white hood, a yellow dress with a blue apron hanging out of the painting. It is modeled after an oil painting by Vermeer, "The Milkmaid". Around the painting are over 30 cartoon birds painted in light blue and dark blue with yellow beaks. They look like little vultures, all looking in one direction and grinning.

The computer nerds said I'd regret having so many physical #books ...they were wrong.

The book nerds said I'd regret getting so many #ebooks, files and digital #manga ... also wrong.

Modernists said I'd regret spending so much time on the #classics...nope.

Classicists said I was wasting my time on #zines and counterculture and the bubbly edge of new shit...not at all.

It's getting to the point where when I need good brainfuel, I look for what I'm being told is useless. :D

🐟 Artist: #SETH / 💕#Seth_Globepainter in City: #Shanghai M50 Art District, China 🇨🇳 - Title: "Corruption" - ( 📷 by TheFunnyFannyWorld ) #Streetart #Art #Mastoart #Mural #Classics #Cat #Goldfish #GoodMorning ! ☕🥐

Streetartwall. On a beige house wall and a broken brown wooden door, is painted an adorable mural with a little girl and a cat. The girl is seen from behind wearing a short blue dress and a brown ponytail. Behind her back she holds a red fish in her hand. A gray cat is painted on the door next to her. She has green eyes, stands upright and seems to be guarding the door. She looks at the girl. The fish apparently as a distraction, thinking of the title of the mural.
Title: "Corruption"
Info: The mural is a few years old. The door was replaced and so the cat disappeared. The girl is now standing there alone.
