Suspended Stone installations

A series of cap­ti­vat­ing Sus­pended Stone Instal­la­tions by Korean artist Jae­hyo Lee.

The sim­plic­ity of these three-dimensional con­struc­tions of manip­u­lated nature belies the exten­sive work load that must have been involved in cre­at­ing this a wide arrange­ment of sus­pended stones.

Work­ing with dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als like stone, wood, steel and nails, the artist cre­ated his inter­pre­ta­tion of the world around us.  He man­aged to cap­ture the essence of each mate­r­ial in a series of inter­est­ing instal­la­tions. Nature-based, manip­u­lated by man; the instal­la­tion includes cylin­dri­cal and rounded shapes, arranged into tun­nel or ball-like com­po­si­tions fea­tur­ing stones hang­ing by threads from the ceil­ing and con­tour­ing these sur­pris­ing shapes.

“Tapis Rouge!” — Following Picturesque Pedestrian Trails in Jaujac, France

Apr 082012
 

The beau­ti­ful town of Jau­jac, France recently became part of an art instal­la­tion designed by Mar­seille–based artist Gaëlle Villedary. A vision­ary design made out of 168 rolls of grass aims to con­nect peo­ple with the sur­round­ing nature. This dis­play of grass runs through the vil­lage and leads to the city center. Winding down the hill and mark­ing the mid­dle of the pedes­trian trails, the Green “Red Car­pet” - Tapis rouge! -  stretches along 1,400 feet and weighs 3.5 tones. Care­fully placed on flights of stairs and tak­ing straight and cir­cu­lar corners, it crosses a bridge and con­tin­ues through the sand cov­ered area where peo­ple can rest and play. Designed to cel­e­brate the 10th anniver­sary of the village’s arts and nature trail pro­grams, this per­fectly adapted bio instal­la­tion strongly con­nects the pic­turesque land­scape to the stone build­ings, cre­at­ing a fairy­tale atmosphere.
