While not quite warm enough for most to want to brave the roof-deck pool at Soho House that doesn't mean you can't welcome spring with a quick dip. Through October 9th P.S.1 brings us artist Leandro Erlich's Swimming Pool. First shown at the 2001 Venice Biennale the work creates the illusion of a pool while allowing those who wish to experience the work from within to remain warm and dry. Erlich, know for his illusionary installations, was also among the artists to participate in Chanel's Mobile Art, which hit New York back in October.
In anticipation of Marilyn Minter's Salon 94 Freemans exhibition (April 28th until June 13th) here in New York the photographer has released a delectable :60 trailer of her latest video work titled Green Pink Caviar. Many thanks to Marilyn and her studio for giving us a sneak peek!
Geared to improve systems of public transportation and position the city as an arts capital the Naples Metropolitan Rail System (M.N. Metropolitana de Napoli S.P.A.) has been working on an ambitious plan to realize a new highspeed line from Caserta to Salerno, Italy. Now scheduled for completion in 2011 construction will increase the number of rail stations from 45 to 114, and extend its infrastructure to serve 70% of the population, up from 25%. The program is impressive, not only for its scale, but its dedication to art. Among the international and Italian talents commissioned to design the new stations are Sol Lewitt, Zaha Hadid, Anish Kapoor and Karim Rashid. Courtesy of Luxuryculture.com.
That is the question posed by three visionary filmmakers as they explore the capital city of Japan in the must see movie TOKYO!. Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Bong Joon Ho (The Host), and Leos Carax (Bad Blood), none of whom are Japanese, take a triptych approach using the cityscape as backdrop for the distinctive and memorable film. The densely populated city has long served as a unique symbol of isolation and disorientation to those who visit. TOKYO! holds true to that reputation as characters morph into chairs, and a demented individual throws grenades, and a hermit, shut-in from society, falls in love with the pizza delivery girl. Opening in New York this Friday, March 6th the film will be playing at the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema.
