What happens when a blizzard hits? Brooklynites build a snow sculpture garden * Brooklyn Paper

Does anyone want to actually build a snowman, Martin, a 28-year-old comedian, said, recalling a friend's social media post. And I swiped up immediately, and I said, 'Yes.' After spending two hours at Bushwick's Maria Hernandez Park, Martin constructed what she called Snow Ma'am Eve, a snow woman with an exaggerated skirt, large bust and chiseled arms. The process, she said, restored a sense of childlike whimsy and joy.

These 'Sandscape' Lamps Turn Reflected Light Into Sculptural Artpieces - Yanko Design

There is a moment at dusk when the boundary between sky and water dissolves. The sun hangs low, the tide softens, and the surface of the sea becomes a trembling mirror, holding light in fragments. Studio Haran's Sandscape Collection seems to trap that exact instant. These sculptural luminaires do not simply resemble waves. They resemble the reflection of something luminous hovering above them, as though the moon or sun has descended and dissolved into ripples.

Denmark exhibition invites visitors to come face to face with Basquiat's 'head' works

When a 22-year-old Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) was asked how he typically began a piece, his answer was simple: "I suppose I would start with a head." That instinct-almost a reflex-sits at the core of a remarkable group of early works on paper that remained largely unseen during his lifetime. The Basquiat: Headstrong exhibition, which opens this month at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, is set to become the first comprehensive showing devoted to the artist's depictions of the human head.

First presented in 1997, "To Be Continued..." features 100 black-and-white reproductions of photos, newspaper clippings, propaganda, advertisements, and more. Silveira nests each image into an oversized puzzle piece, which cuts off faces and scenes to leave fragments of pop culture icons, flora and fauna, and even the occasional mugshot spliced next to one another.
