Becoming Your Medium Posted: 08 Mar 2009 10:56 AM PDT Inspired by his studies in science and an expression coined by Frank Lloyd Wright, “Each material has its own message”, artist Christian Faur has a wide rang of work experimenting with materials such as crayons, shredded paper, oil, encaustics, and fabric and fiber in a very unique way. His crayon and shredded paper works are Trompe l’oeil’s achieved by placing color whether it be the crayons or pieces of lighter or darker paper to create the image he wants us to see. From the Artist In my work, I try to mimic these elegant structures of nature by developing systems of my own with which to express my thoughts and ideas, so that the medium and the message appear as one. I think of it like a game, with a set of axioms that are established at the outset through the limitations of the material or forms from which the work is constructed, which then dictates what can and cannot be “said” within the boundaries of the chosen medium. This material limitation can also be a strength, as there is the potential to contain thoughts and ideas in unique ways, so that the “medium” can become the “message.” This intertwining of form and function can be seen most directly in my most recent work, which is comprised of crayons and shredded paper.

The Hemeroscopium House Posted: 07 Mar 2009 10:19 AM PST The Hemeroscopium House located in Las Rozas, Madrid, Spain is an Amazing architectural work by Ensamble Studio. It took them a year to engineer the project but only seven days to build the structure, thanks to a total prefabrication of the different elements and a perfectly coordinated rhythm of assembly. The house materializes the peak of its equilibrium with what they ironically call the "G point", a twenty ton granite stone, expression of the force of gravity and a physical counterweight to the whole structure.
