The incredible Looping Bridge in Sarajevo

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in Architecture on Thursday 17 January 2013

Bojan Kanlić, Adnan Alagić and Amila Hrustić had to wait for five years until the bridge they designed for a competition while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo was built. Festina Lente, or for those who don’t speak Latin, ‘Make haste, slowly’, is the name of this extraordinary construction that spans 38 meters over the Miljacka river. The idea of this steel bridge with an aluminium trim and glass fence is to create a symbolic gate and a balance between the left and the right side. One could say that the three Bosnian product designers did this very, very well.

Clearly influenced by the history of his own country, he’s found a way of dealing with it and at the same time exploring global issues like religion, war and poverty, always putting his finger on the tender spots. His work shows the sad side of this world´s society and politics in a most humorous way.

Scary-cute art and tattoos by Vancouver’s Nomi Chi

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Art on Thursday 10 January 2013

Let´s chop and slice some things and, voilá, the result is some scary but cute art. This method doesn’t work for every artist: some do work that is just bizarre. But Vancouver-based artist Nomi Chi found the thin line between odd and adorable in her creations. She finds her inspiration from daily chaos and transforms it into tactile imagery, very often referring to geometry.

Divine photography by Christoph Morlinghaus

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Photography on Sunday 23 December 2012

These almost Star-Trek-like buildings are really churches and it’s great to see that there is an alternative to the dusty houses of prayer we all know. Of course, it helps that these photographs were taken by the outstanding Christoph Morlinghaus. His way of taking pictures transforms everything into something monumental.

New paintings by Rachel Adams

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Art on Tuesday 18 December 2012

The acrylic art of English painter Rachael Adams gives the impression to be stills of memories from her youth, growing up in the countryside surrounded by nature and animals. But once you take a look past the bright colours and her well developed personal style and read a bit more about her work, you’ll find absences and isolation too, which makes you relate to her work on a very personal level.

Going wild with AJ Fosik

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Art on Saturday 15 December 2012

Vibrant colours and eclectic animal faces are two of the signature elements of the American sculptor AJ Fosik. His three-dimensional constructions, transforming everyday objects into something extraordinary by carefully assembling hundreds of individually cut pieces of wood and found materials. That this artist was meant to be a sculptor is obvious when seeing these American Folk Art and street art (just to name a few) influenced pieces. They are awesome and leave the viewer fascinated by the dynamic tension and impressed by the details they have to offer.

Dinner with wild animals by Emilie Kröner

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Design on Wednesday 12 December 2012

From now on it could be one of the most unspectacular things in life to have a rhino joining you for dinner. Not on the plate, but right next to it, serving you oil or vinegar. The only thing you have to do is to get a piece of the White Animal Life (WAL) collection by Emilie Kröner. It’s the very project of the Amsterdam-based interior designer and was inspired by the 17th and 18th century animals that were used as decoration on tureens. And since she’s already promising that all her future projects will be funny and/or absurd too, we have something to really look forward to.

Projection mapping in trees by Clement Briend

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Photography on Wednesday 12 December 2012

The almost unearthly projection mappings in trees of the French photographer Clement Briend are a spectacular experience and a great idea too. Because of the nature of trees, these faces and shapes are becoming three-dimensional, and like ghosts, they are watching over the people who pass by. One of his series, Cambodian Trees, is focusing on spirituality and nature, which occupy an important place in Cambodian culture.

Watercolour illustrations by Dima Rebus

Mareike Muller Contributor

By Mareike Muller in New Illustration on Saturday 8 December 2012

Eastern European art has always had a very distinct style. It’s the pure and sharp, sometimes almost brutal style many of them use. Same with Russian illustrator Dima Rebus. His work is pretty frank and critical, no disguise. But you still get a bit of a mystical and vague feeling when you look at his work realizing somehow that there is a lot more hidden in these watercolor illustrations than you thought in first place.
