Chavis Mármol Dropped a Nine-Ton Olmec Head on a Tesla—Here’s Why

🚗💥🗿 A Tesla Model 3 crushed by a nine-ton Olmec head! Mexican sculptor Chavis Mármol says the piece symbolizes resistance against tech billionaires, calling it a strike against “a sinister figure like Elon Mollusk.”

A British artist sends a sculpture to an internationally prestigious and open art exhibition. However, what the selectors actually accept for exhibition is not the jesmonite laughing head, but its slate plinth and bone-shaped wooden rest which had been accidentally separated from the sculpture during handling. The head, One Day Closer to Paradise, 2006 (Figure 1, p. 2), was duly returned to the bemused sculptor.

⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ #RepairReuseRecycle (pssst everything has potential as Art if you can’t fine a practical use.) Peter McFarlane creates e-waste art using old circuit boards. He does everything from sculptures and paintings to even scrapescapes, which is “a marriage between the circuit board paintings and sculpture.” Great article on him & others here. And if you’re an artist looking for some E waste for a project, contact your state. ewaste1.com/e-waste-art/

What a fun an busy week. I managed to stuff the doodle I coated and pulled myself into an acrylic box with paracord. I think I could use a larger box in most areas... and a slightly different box design... But I am certainly excited about putting more doodles in boxes and making them way less fragile.

I also baked a few breads. I am currently on bread 14. Here is a photo of bread 12 (top with additives) and bread 13.5 (second bread of a kilogram flour starter mass) also with the same cashews an olives.
With bread 13, I have begun noticing my liquid starter will be all floating about 12 hours after I feed it on a good day. So for bread 13 I caught it at one of these moments of peak ripeness before inoculating the bread dough with it. I also have been going in the fridge at night and taking it out during the day for two days. The added time added to the bread's fluffyness an rise.

This collection of rather weird and wonderful sculpted heads are carved onto the corbels of decorative arches over the entrances to a series of tenement closes on Killearn Street in the Possilpark area of Glasgow. As far as I know they're unique and I've not come across any simlar ones on other tenements elsewhere in the city (yet!).

Here are some highlights from the #Snowking winter festival snow sculptures in #Yellowknife #NWT #Canada
Talented people come from all over the world, party like crazy, and create these incredible works of art. Each team of 3 or 4 carvers starts with a 1000 cubic foot block of hard sintered snow and creates what you see over the course of 4 days. This year was a little milder, but last year they were labouring away with the wind chill below -40°C! Amazing.
