old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time

“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” is one of five animated short films that will be considered for outstanding film achievements of 2011 in the 84th Academy Awards ®.

Even the animation is digital, everything what is said, shown in the animation is more ” analog” because in my eyes the story is about the beauty of books and how they are born, raised and what happens to people who do not read and so much more…

well done by the animation studio Moonbot and a production by William Joyce and director Brandon Oldenburg

Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. “Morris Lessmore” is old-fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

I wish the team all the best and I have to look for the other four animation to make myself a broader overview.

Ron van der Ende is a sculptor living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He specializes in wall mounted bas-reliefs constructed from found wood. The original color and texture of the wood is utilized to form a gripping and realistic mosaic. The realism is further enhanced by the perspective built into the relief. His works look so three-dimensional, as if the will pop out of the wall, but are flat. Each sculpture is assembled using hundreds of smaller pieces of wood that are cut and nailed together to give the illusion of a three-dimensional object.

“I collect old doors and stuff. Old painted wood that I find in the street. I take it apart and skin it to obtain a 3mm thick veneer with the old paint layers still intact. I construct bas-reliefs that I cover with these veneers much like a constructed mosaic. I do not paint them!” Ron van der Ende

Morgane Tschiember is a French artist, based in Paris. She has directed her work from two to three-dimensional pieces, in order to explore the transitions between dimensions, and how they relate to each other. Thus her sculptures are sometimes couleurful, in order to make couleur a pure original material to be shaped, and therefore open a connection between painting and sculpture.

Sculpting can also be a way to investigate the relationship between the objects and the places, always trying to have as a result that both are revealed and emphasized so the spectator gets a more complete esthetic experience.

She considers herself as “classic” in the sense that she works on fundamental elements such as form, couleur, material… that are universals and run through all of art history. But she also explores, in a very personal and innovative way the new possibilities of painting and making sculptures, revealing her interest in how the meaning “shifts” (not only in how one considers what one is looking at, but because reality can not reside in one single interpretation).

As a result, her sculptures try to not only stand in three dimensions, but include others such as time, action, movement, flux or fluids, opening up the place a piece takes and how it relates to where it stands.

On her website  you can see a good short documentary made by Arte.

The opera in Oslo ( opend 2008)  buildt by norwegen architect studio SnØhetta is a Highlight in design and architecture. But my eye is focused on the amazing main curtain, where the american artist and designer Pae White worked together with a german specialist for the stage market. The picture of a rumpled aluminium foil was digitally transformed sothat a weaving maschine could produce it in cotton. The illusion of reflection and form was created through coulours.  The result is a two-dimensional fabric with an extraordinairy three-dimensional effect. The ” aluminium-design” curtain is 22,65×11,00 meter big and weights 500kg.

Nice idea, good technology, great effect
