Urs Fischer installation "Untitled" 2011, 3 life-size wax candle sculptures, are melting in the Arsenale at the Venice Biennale!!! The works are made of wax pigments, wicks, a steel a structure, and the largest piece is a full-scale replica of Giovanni Bologna's 16th Century sculpture, "Rape of The Sabine Women." 

When I was there last week, 
a week after the opening, 
this was what still present ...... 
I would imagine the chair 
& the figure will soon be gone!!!!  

Lite at the opening of the Biennale ......
the only thing left at it's November closing  
will be a puddle of wax!!!

I was walking down Tenth Avenue,
and saw this incredible " hanging garden" 
"accessorating" the facade of  Postmasters Gallery!!!

xClinic Farmacy was created by artist/engineer Natalie Jeremijenko, it is "a distributed urban farm aimed at encouraging urban food production, diversifying food systems and improving environmental health. The vertical garden is constructed with Jeremijenko-designed durable, efficient AgBags, in which edibles will be grown and then sold at the green market throughout the summer."

This is an interesting & unusual "ecological accessoration" ....
but I think the bags would get caught 
on the shingles at my house!!!

Whether you're searching for the perfect paint color to set off the artwork in your living room, or just looking for inspiration, our app takes a deep dive into one of our favorite topic-color."

It's fabulous & a must for every "accessorator" !!!!

Bridgehampton's Comerford Collection,  
is shopping mecca for
modern furniture & accessories!!!

Owner Karen Comerford has curated an exciting collection of contemporary furniture and accessories for her eponymous store.  She has accented the store's primarily neutral and black palette with a selection of bright colorful prints and solid colored accent pieces that are in sync today's design trends. In addition, there is an interesting collection of lighting and table accessories that are contemporary, but not cold. A wonderful collection of books for both reading & and "accessoration" complete the mood of the store!!! I was especially inspired by her her stunning selection of innovative & interesting outdoor pieces in updated textures, weaves, patterns, and shapes.

I adore the faux straw black/grey/natural stripe 
outdoor chair & ottoman ....
it would be a spectacular addition to my patio!!!

My other "must-have" is the sculptural metal basket ......
divine for magazines!!!
An"accessoration supreme"!!!!

Barnaby Barford opened his latest exhibition "LOVE IS......" 
at London's David Gill Gallery
and the response has been extraordinary!!!!!

I am a great admirer of Barnaby Barford's work (blog 3/4/10) and these new sculptural narratives, dealing with love & lust, and the problems and pleasures inherent in pornography, continue the thought provoking path he takes into his work. The whimsical nature of his porcelain figurines and their gift shop sensibility, are is direct opposition to what the artist is thinking and saying.  A series of pieces in the show replicate two-way mirrors, showing the double vision of possibility ....... dependent upon whether the light inside is turned on or off. What you see in reality, is often something very different than what you don't see. His work dealing with themes of jealousy, promiscuity,and romance both "provokes and appalls, at the same time as it is making us laugh."

I was enchanted by the "prettiness" of  "THATS AMORE",
the decorative mirror... 
Then I took a closer look & realize it is made from 
500 handmade porcelain
pornographic magazine covers!!!!

Am I repelled or delighted????

That's the real question this show asks!!!
