How fun is this? Bâtiment (Building) is a mirrored installation by artist Leandro Erlich currently on display at Le 104 in Paris as part of their In_Perceptions exhibition. The piece is clever in its simplicity: a massive building facade is constructed on the floor near a towering mirror giving anyone reflected the uncanny appearance of being weightless. Optical illusions are familiar territory for Erlich, whose pool installation appears to plunge air-breathing gallery patrons several feet underwater. Bâtiment is on display through March 2012.
amazing.
Artist Julia Chiang uses Ring Pops for an art installation at the Oh-Wow gallery. The candy begins to melt over time as the ceiling light hits each object.

Imagine walking into a silent room where a woman is mending. Now imagine that she’s sitting underneath 1,500 pairs of sharp Chinese scissors that are suspended from the ceiling, precariously pointed downwards. This was the idea behind The Mending Project by Beili Liu.
In this ambitious, large-scale installation that was shown this past spring at the Women and Their Work Gallery in Austin Texas, Liu created an atmosphere of beauty and danger. She immersed her viewers in an environment that suggested fear and looming violence. Amazingly, Liu herself sat beneath the sharp blades. As each visitor entered the space, they were asked to cut off a piece of white cloth which hung near the entrance, and offer it to her. The mended fabric grows in size throughout the duration of the performance, taking over the floor.
I want this in my room.
