There’s a thin line between art and public defacement, in my opinion. Art belongs in a frame, on a white wall adjacent to an even whiter ceiling with track lighting that floods the room and sucks out any color or emotion. Art should be boring and modestly displayed. What Edina Tokodi is doing is wrong. […]

Calling All Lazy Environmentalist
I like the way Swiss designer Michel Bussien’s ironic brain works. Guy chooses a very un-environmentally friendly material like plastic to mold his nod to nature in. I think he might be trying to tell us that it’s time for man and nature to reunite. Or not.
