The House With Balls, India

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Scooped out of a plot of farmland twenty minutes outside Ahmedabad city, this house called ‘The House with Balls’ has been built for an aquarium shop owner to function as a place to breed fish as well as to serve as a weekend retreat.

The long narrow main room is lined on both sides by shutters, opening on one side to the garden and over the tanks on the other.

The concrete balls dip into the water on the tank side when the shutters are opened.

This project has been awarded the AR House 2010 award.

‘People At Work’ by Toby Glanville

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Have a look at the work of British food and portrait photographer Toby Glanville, who portraits people at work.

MOLDE, a Buenos Aires-based online magazine on crafts and applied arts interviewed Glanville about his work, who says “I have been drawn to photographing people in the workplace for a number of reasons, chief of which is the idea that work places us in the world.

And as a photographer working from day to day on commissions for magazines and books as well as my own projects, one inevitably feels comparatively itinerant. Freedom can be a terrifying prospect.”

The Symbol Of Desire, Julia Chiang

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Brooklyn based artist Julia Chiang has created a unique edition of 50 glazed porcelain apples.

Chiang is drawn to the apple both as a symbol of desire and as an icon of the city of New York.

According to Chiang, “Most of what I do reveals the unevenness and imperfection of my hand.”

“I am interested more in what is seen as flaws rather than perfection, and in finding objects and materials that hold a story and history.”
