Tight Spot by David Byrne
Artist David Byrne has created an installation called ‘Tight Spot’ that he blew up all by himself. It is a giant inflatable globe that barely fits under the High Line at 10th Avenue and 25th Street.

Wang Zhiyuan work Thrown To The Wind encases materials which are thrown away carelessly in Zhiyuan’s hometown and other surroundings in China. The work challenged me, as the artist has used materials within this work which are usually regarded as rubbish. His tornado like structure highlights the impacts of rubbish disposal, as he links the careless nature of discarded items with a natural disaster which would impact thousands. The eleven metre structure is partnered with a video documentary which informs and ultimately overpowers the audience and makes a strong social comment on material and commercial waste.

Stefan Glerum’s style is like a melting pot of illustration heritage. While its subconscious familiarity has universal appeal, his work is also a study point for those with knowledge of graphic design history. His work is inspired by early 20th Century movements such as Art Deco, Bauhaus, Italian Futurism and Russian Constructivism, which he combines with popular themes, executed in a style reminiscent of the clear line.

” My name is Antoni Tudisco, 21 years of age and was born and raised in Germany by my Filipina mother and my Italian father. I’m a fan of extraordinary things ever since I was a child. I had my own world as a kid. I started to sketch during lessons when i was attending the elementary school I didnt really listen to the teacher i just draw and skribble. I guess that characteristic of mine developed into being creative and original today. The first time I heared about the *ADOBE PALETTE* , I left no stone unturned and learned every commands all by myself. Since then, *ADOBE* and me were like bestfriends. We were inseprable. Then I tried taking another step higher and tried doing 3D designs and videos. It was hard at first because i had to understand and do everything all alone but because of hard work and enthusiasm, it turned out to be a success until i developed my own website where I presented my works after that, i got the attention of other artists and agencies. After recieving my diploma at the age of 18, I got loads of projects and requests from some major clients such as MTV PHILIPPINES, COCA-COLA, REEBOK WOMAN, NESTLE and VANS.” – Antoni Tudisco
” The ultimate challenge in my opinion is to create something that makes sense but can’t be explained. I believe that the subconscious outsmarts logic. I create objects that may not necessarily make sense in the waking world but may very well exist in the subconscious. I also seek to create uneasiness. We are in an era flooded with objects, objects of use, comfort, sophistication, flamboyancy… There are many objects that serve immediate comfort, yet few are made to be a companion to our recurring feelings of uneasiness” – Lily X.
