Window washers scale walls. Which naturally makes them a bit like the real-life counterparts of Spiderman. It’s fun to see three window washers take to dressing up as the friendly neighbourhood hero while cleaning the windows of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Apparently, besides waving, they also got into goofy character by spraying colourful string at the children too. We’re pretty sure they cleaned out some grim looks from their young faces.

Situated at Venice and La Cienega, Venice 6114 is a hidden gem amongst Culver City’s more established galleries. Run by Sergio Bromberg, the gallery shuns the traditional white cube space adopted by its neighbors. Instead it uses the locale, which still retains the facade and feel of the mechanics garage it once was, as a shell to transform into whatever environment is necessary for the featured artist. Bromberg doesn’t simply put on exhibitions – he puts on events.

A couple of weeks back, as the last two escalators, each weighing 38,000 pounds, were hoisted into the One World Trade Center. They certainly made somewhat of a majestic visual spectacle snaking their way up in the air like that. Scott Lahmers, the technical specialist for ThyssenKrupp Americas who worked on the installation of 74 elevators and 9 escalators in the building, captured some gorgeous pictures of the process.

Two Australian artists created a stop motion chalkboard animated store window for the famed Christmas display at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. The 80-second film by directors Lucinda Schreiber (from Photoplay) and Yanni Kronenberg was the only window of the six at the flagship store that was created by international artists. It has the distinction of being the only window by any invited artist, as Saks’ long-standing design company contractor installed all other windows. The technique used was similar to the pair’s award-winning Firekites music video. The clip garnered half a million YouTube hits and caught the attention of Saks Fifth Avenue executives, which led to the direct invitation to create the Christmas window commission. The window animation ran until New Year’s Day.

Jackpotjoy.com‘s latest Facebook initiative, FUNdation, sent a 50-foot giant rubber duckie floating down the River Thames in London. FUNdation is a £250,000 crowd-sourced fund dedicated to…well, fun. The giant rubber ducky drifted past London’s famous monuments, and the Tower Bridge even had to be lifted to let the oversized bath toy through.

I never use this term but Beyond Ballet Russes, the English National Ballet’s show in honour of Sergei Diaghilev’s legacy, was truly mesmerizing. I watched Programme 1 at the National Opera earlier this year and my enthusiasm is focused on ENB’s versions of the legendary choreographies, L’après-midi d’un faune, and The Rite of Spring by Vaslav Nijinsky. Beautiful and in-depth reworkings of these old and controversial works, the latter one accompanied by Stravisky’s breathtaking score.

This year’s Phuket Vegetarian Festival may have just passed, but the scary images we’ve seen aren’t leaving us alone just yet. Contrary to the peaceful connotations of its name, the festival — celebrated by Thai-Chinese devotees on the island — is more of a graphic visual assault, heavy on street processions and ritualistic practices involving hot oil baths, extreme self-mutilation and fire-walking.
