Antoni Gaudí’s El Capricho by David Cardelús

El Capricho, built in Comillas in the northern region of Cantabria in Spain in 1885, is one of Antoni Gaudí’s youth early works and is contemporary to the recently restored Vicens House in Barcelona. El Capricho is a small and beautiful hidden gem surrounded by a very unique landscape, one of Gaudí’s few buildings built outside Catalonia and that, like all the works of the Catalan architect, displays a great richness of detail and symbolism .

Surely one of the most surprising elements of El Capricho is the constant presence of ceramic tiles representing sunflowers, a plant impossible to find in the rainy region of Cantabria and that is placed on the facade to literally take the sun to the building, a house which is also oriented as a perfect solar compass following sunrise and sunset path to coincide with the domestic activities that take place into this home. The name of the building, El Capricho, evokes the freedom of style of the musical composition but also speaks of the Quijano’s desire to erect a building with such an extravagant look for the time in a place like Comillas –‘capricho’ is actually Spanish for’ whim’–.

Josh Keyes’ “Tempest” at Thinkspace Projects.

Opening on Saturday, October 13th, 2018 at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist Josh Keyes’ exceptional solo exhibition, “Tempest.”

Keyes creates lush, hyperrealistic paintings of our civilization’s dystopian aftermath; a post-human planet left ecologically ravaged and dissipated, sits aflame, overgrown or beneath water, while a new natural order attempts to reclaim its disastrous inheritance. In recent years, Keyes has abandoned the minimalism of his precise, dioramic disaster taxonomies in favor of a more immersive and expanded pictorial frame. These works depict entire environments rather than only its cross-sections in a not-so-distant future state of ecological ruin. Keyes has mastered the satirical posturing of hyperbole as fact with a world so convincingly rendered, and so disastrously surreal, that fantasy becomes alarmingly plausible. In “Tempest,” Keyes conjures an insolvent wilderness facing the eye of a final storm.

The exhibition will be on view until November 3rd, 2018 and should be sought out if in the area.

Bordalo II’s “Wild Wild Waste.”

Portuguese activist and ecologic artist Artur Bordalo, known around the world as Bordalo II, has delivered his most ambitious trash animal installation to date with “Wild Wild Waste,” a 10,000 square feet world of trash that was on display during the Life Is Beautiful Festival in Downtown Las Vegas.

Produced by global creative house Justkids, “Wild Wild Waste” was an eye-popping zoo parody with aims to draw attention to a current global problem: human waste production and the commodification of animal habitats, all the while offering viewers the ultimate destination for a creative funhouse.

The project was prepared in secrecy during 5 weeks in an abandoned Motel of the original Downtown Las Vegas.

Check out a short video of the installation below:
