Interesting Art on Instagram, by met on Jun 1, 2018 21:17:33 GMT 1,
Managed to see this Beetle Sphere piece by Ichwan Noor eight days ago in Amsterdam.
Amusing idea (from a series of similar works) and wonderfully executed.
But I'll admit that reading the description about how it was made killed some of the mystery for me โ and therefore part of the appeal. It's comparable to the satisfied curiosity yet slight disappointment one feels after learning the secret behind a great magic trick.
__________
Noor's sculpture also reminded me of the modified Citroรซn DS, La DS, by Gabriel Orozco:
__________
On the subject of vehicle-themed art, here's a heads-up to forum members based in or visiting New York City:
From 9 June until 26 August 2018, head out to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
That's where you'll find Erwin Wurm's mobile artwork, Hot Dog Bus, which will be handing out free hot dogs.

The pyramid of barrels looks pretty impressive.
Itโs in Hyde Park

Itโs in Hyde Park http://instagr.am/p/BkL_d5DnFlY That looks like a lot and I mean a lot of work. I think it looks out of place tho floating in the park's lake. The bright colors clashing with the serenity of the park setting and the injection of the industrial aesthetic with a natural surrounding just looks horrid to me. Sometimes tho you never know until you see it in person. Hopefully a forum member will make it down there for a good look and a better perspective. |

Iโve had a look at other pictures online and think it looks great. Obviously it does clash with its surroundings but that must have been intended. Juxtaposition etc! I have to say I do find it aesthetically pleasing.
