ROOM WITH A VIEW

gotta plan a trip for this one. take a look at how UK gallery inverleith house showcases - in the coolest way - the work of swiss artist nicolas party.

party transformed the interior of the gallery/house into a contemporary installation of his paintings, using every inch of the seven gallery spaces throughout the house to display his work.

from inverleith house: "each room takes on its own thematic discourse, like chapters in an absurdist narrative whole and whether full, immersive tableaus or repeating designs, party’s artwork continuously oscillates between abstraction and figuration." 

that's a lot to unpack! but i love the idea of each room being a chapter in this story and the play on abstraction versus representation. also, this first room is my favorite color palette basically ever so there's that too.

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

holy moly. this unbelievable installation is by japanese art collective teamLab and features thousands of floating, living (!) flowers. created in the national museum of emerging science and innovation in tokyo, the exhibit allows viewers to walk among over two thousand flowers. as if that was not enough, motion sensors move the flowers out of your way as you approach them. take a look at the video below. pretty spectacular.
