Caitlind Brown & Wayne Garret
Cloud is a large scale interactive sculpture created from 6.000 light bulbs, new and burnt out. Constructed by artist Caitlind Brown and collaborator Wayne Garrett, ‘Cloud’ was on public display for one night only during Calgary’s first Nuit Blanche Festival. As
part of the process of creating the sculpture, Brown collected burnt
out incandescent light bulbs from local households, businesses, museums,
and eco stations. The idea was to create an informal collaboration
between the community and the artists, reduce costs, and experiment with
the potential of items post-use. donderdag 18 oktober 2012
Kristoffer Tejlgaard & Benny Jepsen
This year’s People’s Meeting in Bornholm, Denmark, is intended to
spark debate and discussion about the future of housing. With a need for
a venue, danish architects Kristoffer Tejlgaard and Benny Jepsen
wanted to not only provide the space in which the event would take
place, but also offer an independent piece that would in itself be a
contribution. The ‘People’s Meeting Dome’ is in essence a deconstructed geodesic
dome, a mathematically resolved and structurally efficient shape. A
geometric wooden frame composed of triangles as the smallest unit
allowed the freedom to take differently sized sections and extrude,
scale, push and pull them to accommodate programmatical elements as
needed, in response to its physical context. The space structurally
behaves the same and allows a column-less plan with small niches and
crevices for seating and a stage.The connections are made with custom
steel plates that allow full flexibility through modularity. Any group
of triangular modules can be removed, expanded or contracted, made into a
window, a door, or treated with a different veneer. All the wood used
in the project is locally grown douglas pine and recycled old boards
wrapping the facade in different patterns.
