In Shinchi Maruyama’s photographs, handfuls of water tossed into the air become flowerbeds or perfect cylinders. An amalgam of sculpture, performance, and photography, Mauyama’s work reveals how much beauty can occur in the blink of an eye.

Clacktastic.

A 3cm x 3cm piece made by hammering different-sized nails into a wall. More kooky minimalism here.

This sculpture, located on the border between the U.S and Canada near Vancouver, was created by Lead Pencil Studio.
Titled Non-Sign II, the piece was commissioned by the U.S. government. The artists behind it are Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, who’ve won numerous awards for their work over the last decade. The pair carefully twisted metal to give the appearance of a ghost of one of the billboards that populate the area.
Han and Mihalyo told The Stranger that they hope the sculpture will add a bit of awareness to the signage landscape in the border zone, as it flies past the inhabitants of passing cars.

Canadian visual artist Kim Rugg has patience and glue, and her art requires a lot of both.
The front pages of the newspapers shown above, for example, were taken apart with an X-ACTO knife, letter by letter, then rearranged in alphabetical order.
So what is Kim Rugg at? She’s taking the piss out of the print media, what it says and how it says it.
Or, as the gallery owner puts it:
Through her re-appropriation of medium and meaning, she effectively highlights the innately slanted nature of the distribution of information as well as its messengers.
Yes.
