One day, the "ramps to nowhere" will be no longer, but before they're torn down, the pointless structures have been elevated to art. It's hard to see the beams wrapped in mirror here; nonetheless, you should go check them out, paddle around them---a lovely Seattle space, for now.
installation art
At its root
Artist Giuseppe Licari's Humus 2012 looks amazing; what I wouldn't give to see it installed. See more of his works here. His aim, he says, is to "provide the public with a unique feeling, which is related to a specific location and an exact moment in time, forming a collective memory between all participants." Very cool.
Ripped to shreds
I don't customarily endorse the destruction of books, but Jukhee Kwon's shredded tomes, like the one below, make for some great installation art. From the Book to the Space offers a look at more of these sculptures. (Via Flavorwire and My Modern Met.)
