Tangled Table ‘Not Now’ By Artist Michael Beitz
Artist Michael Beitz is known for his entangled and wavy tables, benches and other furnitures. The 28-foot-long twisted and tangled table is not quite a conversation starter, at least not if you're sitting at it, as you almost can't see your dialogue partner on the other end. via iGNANT
Tiny Worlds Sculptures by Jorge Mayet
Cuban artist Jorge Mayet is creating his own miniature worlds. Attached to white walls, many of his sculptures seem to float in the sky, their bottom sides revealing raw soil and roots as if they have ripped free from all that is below. Other sculptures seem to explode in mid-air, their small wooden houses becoming a cloud of floating splinters. This is no destructive event, however, but one that makes things move and spread.
Mayet builds his tiny worlds predominantly from green painted sponges, paper mache, wire and cloth. His most recent exhibition took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, at Galeria Inox. You can see more on their Facebook page or learn more about Mayet here.

Mechanical Sculptures by Jennifer Townley
In 2008 Jennifer Townley completed her degree in Art Science at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in The Hague. Since then she has been working as an independent artist, creating mechanical sculptures that often move very slowly. Powered by electric motors her machines generate intense repetitive movements and changing patterns that subtly interfere with the spectators mind. Shapes are constantly being distorted and transformed, patterns convert smoothly into new patterns and independent forms seemingly unite. Within kinetic art her work can be distinguished by a smooth and peaceful operation and detailed finish and appearance.

Morphogenetic Freehand Etchings By Artist John Franzen
Few years ago we featured John Franzen’s “Each Line One Breath” – a morphogenetic freehand drawings. In the years since he has begun drawing into 2mm black coated copper and brass plates with a needle, creating gorgeous etchings, from which he produces a small series of discharge prints.
"His meditative drawing process starts a single straight line from the top of the plate to the bottom, which is followed by an attempt to copy that line as precisely as possible. Each subsequent line results in a slight straying from the original line, exaggerating the original imperfections. His breathing controls the line, and the line also controls his breathing, it is incredible to watch. See the videos below." text by Booooooom

Hyperreal Paintings by Mike Dargas
"It almost seems like Cologne-based painter Mike Dargas was inspired by Blake Little's honey-covered people when he was painting these hyperreal works. He transfers images of women's faces covered in honey onto the canvas. We're once more impressed by the skill to transfer photographs utterly perfect into large-scale paintings." says iGNANT

Preservation by Blake Little
Friday is good for weird and beautiful. "When people showed up to Blake Little’s studio in response to a Craigslist ad calling for actors, the amateur thespians didn’t realize what they were in for. Fascinated with honey as a symbol and an artistic medium, Little asked his subjects to strip naked and pose in front of a monochromatic backdrop while his assistants doused them in gallons of the sticky, viscous substance. The experiment yielded a striking photo series in which people with a diverse array of body types and aesthetics appear transformed into statues. Little will exhibit the results in is solo show, “Preservation,” opening March 7 at Kopeikin Gallery in Culver City, CA." says Hi-Fructose

“Hyperjump” is a light and sound sculpture performance created by Tundra Collective, took place in December 2014, at First Cadet Corps, Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Installation occupied the old soviet basketball ground built inside a 19-century classicism hall a part of the Military Academy building.
