This installation was built during the Cold War. when I was a little boy, it was the most magnificent building in the hometown. And now, each building of CBD in the background is taller than it. May God bless peace in the world.

Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter. The artworks are placed alongside two routes. Each route has their own theme, set of artworks and visitor experience. Water Colors, the boat rout, displays big monumental objects and offers visitors the chance to experience the art from a water perspective. Illuminade, the walking route, shows interactive and innovative installations from upcoming designers in the Plantage neighborhood.
Celebrate winter, with art, light and water!

Lifeline
Artist: Claes Meijer
Location: Herengracht (point of view: Vijzelstraat)
Anyone approaching Claes Meijer's Lifeline installation by boat sees two long lines of light (green above water, blue-white below the surface) moving on the quay wall. The lines seem to respond to something, seem to mean something, but what? They accurately reflect the sound waves of marine engines underwater.
But not only the sound of pleasure boats and fishing boats, also container ships, drilling platforms, construction activities and wind farms can be heard underwater. Nothing could be further from the truth than our romantic image of a quiet, peaceful underwater world. Due to the difference in density, sound propagates five times faster in water than in air and can also be heard over much longer distances than above water. This 'noise pollution' has a big influence on life underwater. Marine animals sustain hearing damage, lose their orientation and come in a state of stress faster.
We are hardly aware of all that noise under water, and little research has been done into the consequences. In Lifeline, Meijer transforms this 'hidden' information with coloured light into a fascinating line game that you just have to look at. Meijer makes the inaudible visible and shows us to the impact of our existence on the underwater ecosystem.
Claes Meijer (1966) likes to make beautiful images. At first he did that on paper, while he was studying graphic design at the HKU in Utrecht. But soon he used a different medium: light. For years, he was responsible for the lighting of bands and house parties. Then, he moved on to large dance events.
In addition, he also made lighting designs for (cultural) festivals and theatre performances. With Lifeline, Meijer makes an autonomous light installation for the first time, in which sound still plays an essential role.
Band is an installation currently showing at LACMA that was created by Richard Serra, it is enormous in size (153 x 846 x 440 in) and is really quite beautiful to see in person.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

Installation at Davis United Methodist Church, where I work as Music Director. The doves were my design, of course, but I got a lot of help with folding and hanging them! I hadn’t done a large installation like this before, it was a lot of fun.
Sheffield's newest art installation on the Sheffield Canal near to Tinsley Marina.
"A loop-de-loop canal boat sculpture has been unveiled to celebrate Sheffield's historic waterways and industrial heritage.
The full-sized canal boat, sculpted from rolled steel, is centred on the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, a 200-year-old waterway. It's the first artwork on water by ‘Art’s Master Illusionist’ British artist Alex Chinneck, with an impressive looping structure measuring 13 metres long and six metres high.
The artwork has been named 'The Industry' after the first vessel that navigated the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal when it opened in 1819 and references the history of Tinsley, painted using traditional signwriting and canal boat colours.
The fabrication of the looping boat required 9 tonnes of helically rolled steel and aluminium, finished with a high grade marine paint"
