The installation is made out of thread, wood and nails attached at either end to blocks of wood. The effect is like a real-world version of computer generated imagery.

Gabriel Dawe’s colorful installation is currently showing at the Dallas Contemporary in Texas.

Peter Feigenbaum, architect/painter and singer in Brooklyn band Dinowalrus, has found the time to make incredible, hyper-realistic miniature streetscapes, depicting a New York in the ’70s.

He describes his work “as the physical byproduct of teenage suburban daydreams and attempts to live vicariously through an alien post-urban 1980s landscape that was in no way part of my quotidian existence — a landscape that I caught glimpses of through car rides down the Bruckner Expressway, Henry Chalfant’s graffiti photographs, and movies such as The French Connection and Style Wars.”

His art is being shown right now at: Open Source Gallery, 255 17th St., Park Slope, Brooklyn

“Upon invitation to reflect on the notion of transparency, that led me into the forest to envelop the contour of a large stone with fragments of mirror. The large stone, tucked away deep in the woods, became a reflective surface for its surroundings. In this play of splintered radiance, the rock disappears in its reflections. Because it reflects one cannot be mislead by its presence, yet we cannot seize it, rather it is the rock that reflects us.”

Montreal artist Michel de Broin, is known increasingly for his mischievous interventions, deploying materials as diverse as paving asphalt, metal staircases, Plasticine and office furniture. Making strange with the everyday is his stock in trade, and much of what he does takes place outside the traditional confines of the gallery or museum.
