Black Hole…huge ball 4 meters in diameter,  is made of … 72 ordinary office chairs and Dead Star – taken from the set of used batteries. As its name suggests, the sculpture “slowly cooled since then, as it does not happen any electrical activity.  Interestingly, while no longer able to be a source of energy, batteries nonetheless become a source of new life: the life works of art.

Rotterdam-based Atelier van Lieshout’s (AVL) newest project is ‘cascade’ an eight-metre tall
sculpture made from polyester. the larger-than-life sculpture consists of eighteen stacked oil drums,
arranged to stand as a monumental column, and which look as if they are descending from the sky
like a waterfall. a syrupy, oil-like mass drips from the large drums, in which one can make out
the shapes of anonymous human figures in dramatic poses. in comparison to the robust contours
of the oil drums, the figures are limp and formless. despite looking fragile, these human-like figures
create the support network of the column, appearing as if they are in a way melting into one another
to form a single entity.

Spiral dam – one of the most important works of Robert Smithson, a cornerstone in the development of art connected with the water and land.

Dalton Getty works very slowly. He does not use any special tools: for he needed only a blade, a sewing needle and a very bright light. To protect their vision, the author works for one and half hours a day. One tiny sculpture may take several months, and the creation of the previously mentioned script in Dalton took 2,5 years.

Dalton believes that his sculptures are forcing people to stay at least for a few moments to escape from the mad rhythm of modern life and see the beauty in miniature detail.

Artist Chris Dorosz, probably has a lot of patience.  One can only imagine how many hours he spent on the creation of his sculptures, which consist of tiny droplets of ink to form a wavy and flickering pixel field of paint on an unusual canvas.
