American Light Artist James Turrell - Pool | Installation

James Turrell, one of the nation’s great artists, creates installations that combine art and science and are at once both secular and spiritual. Building on his studies of psychology and mathematics, and his experiences as a pilot, Turrell’s works are explorations in light and space that speak to viewers without words, impacting the eye, body, and mind with the force of a spiritual awakening.

MADEMOISELLE MAURICE – ORIGAMI STREET ART

The latest creations of the French artist Mademoiselle Maurice, ephemeral installations and non-degrading poetic street art performed with hundreds of colorful origami glued on the walls of Paris. A daunting task to achieve thousands of origami using mostly recycled paper, in a spirit of friendly temporary installation, for the environment and the street. A cloud of origami that fly just like the human network and natural elements, with particular reference to the little Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki.

In February 1964, Christo and Jeanne-Claude arrived in New York on board of the SS France. Shortly after seeing the tall buildings of downtown Manhattan from the bow of the ship, Christo did the first collages of Two Lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, No. 2 Broadway and No. 20 Exchange Place. Later, when Christo and Jeanne-Claude met with the owners to request permission to realize the project, the answers were negative.
