Some pretty cool-looking birdhouse ‘cities’ have sprouted up in the London boroughs of Chelsea and Islington as part of the Secret Garden Project by UP Projects, an organization that organizes public art projects. The aim of Spontaneous City in the Tree of Heaven is to promote biodiversity in urban green spaces.

This is my favorite place in New York to spend a Sunday afternoon. No, I’m not talking about Central Park. But rather, The Park, a restaurant in Chelsea which took its name from its past life as a parking garage. The food is great, but the best part is their large inside-outside garden, with large trees finished with a grass roof top. Even in the chilly weather, you can dine outside. Every time I need to relax, or if I have friends in town I need to impress, I go there. In fact, I just impressed one this afternoon!

The ArtNet website has an interesting write-up on experimental art duo, The Black Estate, a ‘collaboration between artists Noah MacDonald and Scott Pagano; the artists do not sign their individual names to the work, they are interested in the collaborative art-making process and the ongoing nature of their particular dialogue. The Black Estate presents a body of hauntingly beautiful and surreal video works’. ‘Darkly evocative illustrated landscapes are created in combination with cutting-edge digital animation to produce a new generation of imagined reality. Concern for the current state of our environment lies at the forefront of these works; field and tree are set in motion and take on mortal characteristics as an eerie reminder of the sacredness of nature’. Their work is currently on show at New York’s Claire Oliver Gallery until March 8th.
