One hundred live and die is a recent piece by Bruce Nauman. I think art utilizing neon lights are pretty interesting. It’s pretty reflective of how you can live (or die).

(photos found here) work by James Mollison.
When photographer James Mollison was asked to do a project on children’s rights, he found himself thinking back to his childhood bedroom and the deep importance it played in his upbringing. Taking that idea with him around the world, he photographed a diverse cross section of children and the bedrooms they call home. His moving images remove the children from their home environment, showing them before a neutral background that mostly hides their economic status as if to say “kids are just kids.” Only when their bedroom is observed, however, does the full scope of their living situation become poiniently clear. Where Children Sleep, a beautiful hardcover book featuring 112 color photographs is now available from chrisboot.com.

Check out this kick-ass diptych by student Joe Rudko! Have you stopped by “The Reconfigured Landscape: Miniature/Mammoth” yet? The exhibition features scanning electronic microscope artwork from the Art 390 Black and White Photo II students and is currently on display in the foyer of SMATE!
The exhibit is up until March 15, so take a break from studying and long hours in the art building for some adventuresome artwork!
I could not help but think of Joe and Marybeth and Carmen when I saw this work. Damien Rudd’s photographs are clean, thought provoking and diverse. He is well worth a look.
