Storm King Art Center
Fence of Mirrors
The subtle reflection of space and its ever
changing qualities is expressed in the work of
Alyson Shotz.
The American artist conceives large-scale
sculptural pieces which stand as mediums in which
one experiences their surrounding environment
with a renewed perspective. Mirror fence is
indicative of Shotzs creative approach whereby
she has constructed a picket fence entirely from
mirror.
The iteration illustrated in this feature was a
commissioned installation for Storm King Art
Center in New York, and exhibits the physical
existence of the barrier being almost completely
obliterated by its glassy surface that casts back
images of the landscape in which it stands.

8th of March: Luisa Casati
Luisa, Marquise Casati Stampa di Soncino (1881 /
1957) was an eccentric Italian heiress, muse, and
patroness of the arts in early 20th-century Europe.
As the concept of dandy was expanded to include
women, the marchesa Casati fitted the utmost
female example by saying: "I want to be a living
work of art".

New York-based design firm Studio Link-Arc in
collaboration with Tsinghua University have
conceived the China pavilion for the Milan Expo
2015 as a field of different spaces.

The Boiler | Pierogi
Orbit!
Sure, it sounds like a self-effacing metaphor gone
off the tracks. No, there's no punchline, and yes,
it's pretty cool. Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder
are currently living and working 24 hours a day in
their "architect performed building" shaped like a
25-foot hamster wheel. The two artists, who have
been collaborating on large-scale installations
since 2007, will inhabit "Orbit" until March 9 and o
view through April 5 at The Boiler in Brooklyn.

-LAgricoltura Sinergica un metodo di
coltivazione elaborato a partire dagli anni 80 dall
agricoltrice spagnola Emilia Hazelip (1938/2003)
adattando al clima mediterraneo i principi dell
agricoltura naturale estrapolati dallagronomo
giapponese Masanobu Fukuoka (1913/2008). Emilia
Hazelip ha definito lAgricoltura Sinergica come
la forma di coltivazione pi naturale tra quelle
conosciute, perch lavora con le dinamiche di
fertilit naturali del suolo. In sostanza ci significa
che il suolo migliora e poi mantiene la sua fertilit
se un certo numero di piante vengono piantate
densamente in esso e se si usa la pacciamatura per
imitare lo strato di foglie e compost che si
forma spontaneamente in natura. Non c alcun
bisogno dammendanti di nessun tipo, neanche di
compost, fertilizzanti organici, polvere di roccia,
preparati bio-dinamici etc. poich i l suolo, se
trattato correttamente, si comporter come il
suolo naturale selvaggio o incolto.

Ms Martha Payne is 9 years old, and one day she
had a very cool idea: what about to blog on what
she eats at school?
Wikipedia explains:
Launched on 30 April 2012 as a school writing
project with assistance from Martha's father David,
the blog is written under the pseudonym "VEG"
(Veritas Ex Gustu truth from tasting), with the
subtitle "One primary school pupil's daily dose of
school dinners".
Much like a restaurant review, it features daily
entries on the 2 school meal that Martha/ "VEG"
has chosen that day, her thoughts on the food and
its quality, a count of the number of hairs,
A very nice course on contemporary gardening in
Torino. Curated by Nicol Taglia, here the link to

This is a very nice project.
This hand-drawn section was made by student
Stuart Franks to complete the first year of his MA

stacked city above Londons Kings Cross station, it
anticipates rapid population growth in the capital.
