Cian Hogan:  Glitchy Formalism

Cian Hogan is from a small village near Galway, in the west of Ireland.  He graduated with a degree in Multimedia from Dublin City University, but says that he was mostly self taught.  He works between London and Galway doing freelance animation work.  He sees his gifs as a way of experimenting with new techniques.  But while doing this experimentation he he creates beautiful visual poems that are simultaneously formal, glitchy, elegant, and mystical.  Quite an accomplishment.  I hope he keeps experimenting.

Anish Kapoor - Dismemberment - Gibbs Farm, New Zealand

Gibbs Farm sculpture park is home to a series of major site specific artworks commissioned from some of the world’s most significant artists.

Composed of a vast PVC membrane stretched between the two giant steel ellipses, Kapoor’s work is architectural, and yet it also has a fleshy quality which the artist describes as being “rather like a flayed skin”.

Kapoor has commented, “I want to make body into sky”. At the farm he achieves this. Here, the artist had to devise a form that was both freestanding and capable of surviving a constant arm-wrestle with the sky and the mercurial weather conditions.
