Found out about this Leandro Erlich exhibit currently on display at Paris’ Le 104 gallery over at My Modern Met. Check out her post, visit Le 104′s website, or check out this video of the installation.

April Fools

So, I’ve never been one for elaborate and creative April Fools jokes. But, in the spirit of the day, here’s some Van Gogh paintings – featured on Artcyclopedia a few months back – that have been given the tilt-shift treatment. The change of perspective might just mess with your head.

Starry Night Over the Rhone (1888)

The Red Vineyard (1888)

Prisoners Exercising (1890)

I’ll Take Two Parrots

Not sure where this is taken, or what precisely is going on, but I imagine its a behind-the-scenes at the museum shot. Anyone know where this is or have a funny caption that you would include?

Palindrome

Troika, a UK design company, recently installed this kinetic sign for the Victoria and Albert Museum. Walking through the South Kensington tube station, you can’t fail to miss it or your turn off into the museum itself. The sign is playfully named “Palindrome.” Check it out…
