The Basement Stacks by Wary Meyers, who writes:

“Books breaking through the (faux) wall downstairs, referencing the ‘basement stacks’ every library has. In this case it’s as if those stacks had been sealed up during some remodel, and are anthropomorphically breaking through, referencing the old library, history, roots, poltergeists… Created for the VIA Advertising Agency, which recently renovated and moved their offices into the old Baxter building, which served as Portland’s public library from 1888 until the 1960s.”

Ran Hwang uses pins and buttons to create these stunning installations of birds and cherry blossom trees. She explains:

“My immense wall installations are extremely time consuming and repetitive manual work. This is a form of meditative practice that helps me find my inner peace. Pins are used to hold buttons onto the surface to form a silhouetted image, or to disintegrate such image. No adhesive is used so the buttons are free to stay and move, which implies the genetic human tendency to be irresolute. I use buttons because they are common and ordinary, like the existence of human beings.

“By hammering thousands of pins onto a wall, I discover significance of existence. Like the monks practicing Zen facing the wall, my work is a form of performance that leads to finding oneself.”

Deputy Dog posted these photos of Eglise Saint-Merri the other day. A couple of commenters mentioned the chairs might be left over from Hugo Bonamin’s “Les Chaises” installation for the 2005 Nuit Blanche; the hanging painting, Mein Engel, is also Bonamin’s.
