Jeff Koons’ Model ‘Train’ Proposed For The High Line
Famed pop-artist has proposed dangling a 70-foot long replica of a 1943 Baldwin steam locomotive above a segment of the park. Koons’s ‘Train’ will be fabricated from steel and carbon fiber, weighing in at some several tons, and will feature spinning wheels, a blowing horn, and puffing steam–all part of what the artist attributes to the “ephemeral energy that runs through the city every day.” (Architizer)

Developing a mutable horizon, 2011
Developing a mutable horizon, 2011 by Chris Fraser.
The camera obscura is one of the world’s oldest, simplest devices, dating back at least to the times of Aristotle. It’s a dark box (or room) with a hole drilled in one side. When light shines through this hole, it projects a perfect image from the outside world that has been flipped upside down. (Fast Company)

Every summer the small Swiss town of Vercorin offers up its public spaces and buildings to artists to make do with them what they will. R&Art, the association behind the initiative, commissions contemporary works that seek to engage the village as a whole in an effort to reconcile Vercorin’s history and traditions with contemporary culture. Lang/Baumann‘s “Street Painting #5″ is a stunning testament to the strength of the villagers’ goal to create “spaces for dialogues in synch with our times.” (Architizer)
