Daniel Arsham’s Stunning, New ‘Architectural Interventions’

Artist and designer Daniel Arsham currently has his first show in Russia at Moscow with “Moving Architecture” at VHDNKh. His nine site-specific "architectural interventions" bring surreal, three-dimensional touches to otherwise nondescript spaces. The photographs showing Arsham's work in this piece were taken by James Law. Arsham was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“Spatial manipulation through the destruction of existent forms is a prevalent theme throughout Arsham’s work,” a statement says. “The exhibition in Moscow will feature the artist’s large-scale installation Excavated Walls, involving a huge concrete tunnel with abstract perforations melting into a real life-size human silhouette. The elements used in the installation reflect the author’s vision of human-to-architecture interaction, of man’s capacity to create, destroy, and modernize constructions as well as natural materials.”


Arsham also has shows running in New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Paris right now. The exhibition runs through Jan. 8 at the space. See more photos of the work below.

One look at artist Sophie Ryder's hybrid animal sculptures and you'll be whisked away into some mystical world. "I sculpt characters and beings- the dogs, the hares, the minotaurs... are all characters beyond animal form. I am not interested in making a replica," she has said. The charming and remote cottage where she makes her work, featured here, is not far off from the fantasy that it creates. Ryder's studio is located in the countryside of Colin Valley in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, England, a beautiful but isolated place that rarely sees visitors. On November 20th, she will open her cottage up to the public for a rare showing of her works, including sculpture, plaster works, drawings, among other pieces.
