I went to Olek’s new solo exhibition at Jonathan LeVine Gallery yesterday.
“Jonathan LeVine Gallery is proud to present The Bad Artists Imitate, The Great Artists Steal, new works by Polish-born, New York-based artist Olek, in what will be her first solo exhibition at the gallery. The Bad Artists Imitate, The Great Artists Steal features a site-specific installation with a new series of crochet sculptures and canvases. The title of the exhibition refers to a work created by world-renowned British street artist Banksy for his 2009 Bristol Museum show, in which he carved a quote by Pablo Picasso into stone, crossed out the late artist’s name and replaced it with his own.” Read more: http://bit.ly/qxubJL

Amazing piece by estonia76 who says, “I needle-felted the spine out of undyed wool roving, with some darker shadows felted out of a random grey wool yarn. This is a custom order for a chiropractor’s office!”

Does it work on Nickelback, cause I’m allergic to them.

This diorama was made by Nanae Ito, who says: “My hack utilizes the soft material of yarn and the cozy craft of crochet to create a diorama of a meat processing plant; a place that invokes feelings of clamminess, freezing temperatures, sterility, death, and blood.”

This reminds me a bit of my Sad Tofu Head – she’s sad because she just found out that most soy in North America is GMO and she always thought she was organic …
