Stingray
When Thomas Pedersen was about to complete his graduation project from the Aarhus School of Architecture in 2002 he stumbled across a problem: the school has an excellent wood workshop but no facilities for working in metal or glass fibre, facilities which Thomas Pedersen needed for his project.
“Together with another student who also worked in glass fibre, I completed my project out in the school car park. That caused a few problems because the fibre glass made a mess and the dust settled on the teachers’ cars,” Pedersen explains.
His tenacity was rewarded, however. His project culminated in the unusual Stingray rocking chair, which assured Pedersen his place among the most talked about design talents.
“It’s not that I’ve got anything against wood, it’s just that there already is so much wooden furniture about. I wanted to show that it pays to think in new ways and use unconventional materials,” he says.
The name of the chair derives from the stingray. The Danish word for stingray is “rokke” which sounds like the first part of the word “rock” in “rocking chair” and the shell does resemble a giant stingray moving across the seabed. But it was the functionality that came first, not the design.
“I wanted to make a swivel chair with lots of different sitting positions. The stingray-like shape came into being as a result of the functionality,” insists Pedersen.

The new book by Zach Plague from featherproof books.
On Pre-sale Now!
“When the mysterious gray book that drives their twisted relationship goes missing, Ollister and Adelaide lose their post-modern marbles. He plots revenge against art patriarch The Platypus, while she obsesses over their anti-love affair. Meanwhile, the art school set experiments with bad drugs, bad sex, and bad ideas. But none of these desperate young minds has counted on the intrusion of a punk named Punk and his potent sex drug. This wild slew of characters get caught up in the gravitational pull of The Platypus’ giant art ball, where a confused art terrorism cell threatens a ludicrous and hilarious implosion. Zach Plague has written and designed a hybrid typo/graphic novel which skewers the art world, and those boring enough to fall into its traps.”
–featherproof books
I’ve only seen an online version of this book, but I love the graphic concept behind it. Multiple posters were printed then chopped up and bound to make the book. Both the book and posters will be available soon from featherproof books in the next week or so. In the meantime you check out a preview online.

Reinvent our space, bring the Middle East home
The Khatt Design Collection Competition, a Limited Edition of Wall Stickers by Mosaiques
The Khatt Foundation and the trend-setting company Mosaiques, in collaboration with Dubai-based design gallery Traffic, are launching for the first time a wall stickers collection reflecting the multifaceted Middle Eastern identity.
Wall stickers are the latest innovation in contemporary interior design. They democratise art by bringing it into ordinary people’s living spaces. Made from self-adhesive vinyl, wall stickers can be applied to various surfaces (walls, doors, windows, furniture and floor), giving a high-gloss painted look. At very affordable prices, they are the simplest way to revamp and decorate interiors. They help consumers create a personalized sense of place.
This design competition will therefore provide a platform for talented Khatt Network members to reach out to wider audiences within and outside the design world of Dubai, the Middle East and beyond.

by Pink Sushi Design
Out of all submissions, 20 designs will be selected for a limited edition of 50 numbered pieces. The 20 designs will be produced and marketed under the label “Khatt Design Collection, a Limited Edition of Vynils by Mosaiques”, and will be exhibited at Traffic for three weeks from November 13th. The reputation of Traffic as ‘must stop shop’ for individuals and architectural/design firms, and its location near the up-market Mall of the Emirates makes it the perfect partner for the launch of this culturally sensitive and sought-after design product.

As a new Dad and lover of retro styling, it’s hard for me not to love this great looking toy from Radio Flyer.
If you are in Chicago, head up north on Grand Avenue. As the road dead-ends into a strip mall, look behind you. You’ll see the world’s largest Radio Flyer wagon parked in front of the factory.
They’ve been located in Chicago since they were founded by Italian immigrant Antonio Pasin in 1917. Originally called the Liberty Steel Company, he quickly changed the name to honor the two new technologies he was fascinated by.

4Art Inc. Gallery is approaching the second month of its Phase VI group show, to open on June 13. New works will be featured from our 17 resident artists that range in mediums from oil, acrylic, sculpture, digital art, photography, collage, fashion, jewelry, and mixed media.
The Phase IV show runs from Mayto October, with new art displayed the second Friday of each month. The goal is to give patrons the opportunity to view these individuals grow in their artistic journey.
Some highlights of the PHASE VI show include: the photography of Robert C. Anderson, who looks to capture the unflinching boldness and nit and gritof daily reality in urban environments; the mixed media collages of Sonia Katz, which combine painted white Japanese and watercolor paper to convey a sense of abstract and creative freedom; and the digital photography of Benjamin Jaffee, which centers around the concept of modern ruins as a representation of the remnants of people, as they might appear to a future intrepid voyager.
4ART’S ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM is based on three goals. First, we look to foster an understanding of both the process and the work the artists create. Second, we seek to form a connection between the artists and the patrons. Third, we want to foster an appreciation for both the art work and the artists who create it.
This month features: SALOME JAFFE.

New York’s American Folk Art Museum brings together 11 contemporary artists from all over the world who have been influenced by the visionary self-taught artist Henry Darger. Darger’s epic paintings of the Vivian Girls — the abolitionist heroines of his fantastical writings — hang beside the younger artists’ work on two floors. Some exhibit obvious relationships with the Chicago recluse, such as Justin Lieberman, who overlays Darger’s backgrounds with images of nudes and young beauty queens, and Anthony Goicolea, who recreates Darger’s imagery in photographs. Others, including Amy Cutler, Trenton Doyle Hancock, and Grayson Perry, display similar interests in myth-making, queer affect, and utopian striving. By highlighting the outsider artist’s growing influence on contemporary art, Dargerism challenges the art-historical canon, as it considers the aesthetic possibilities of narrative, struggle, and transgression. - Thomas Lax

I just ran across some of the artwork of John Dyer Baizley. Frankly I was bowled over. I’m a huge fan of the gorgeous line work in art nouveau illustration and have tried my hand in it many times. Where I failed, John has succeeded in spades. He has moved the style from it’s existing nature meets fairies to organic death metal.
John’s a multi-talented guy. Besides creating stunning artwork, he’s also in the band Baroness.
