Guyana is 6 feet below sea level. The only thing separating us from the great Atlantic is this wall.
This drawing was initially an attempt at recreating a photograph of a modern styled home I saw in a book. I used the core structure of a few lines drawn in pencil, and overlayed the freehand patterns that were then colored with marker. The coloration is meant to highlight the 4 planes from the original photograph: the house entry; the house's sidewall; the ground; the sky.
This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

The Wire-tailed Swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. Swallows are somewhat similar in habits and appearance to other aerial insectivores, such as the related martins and the unrelated swifts (order Apodiformes).
Wire-tailed Swallow breeds in Africa south of the Sahara and in tropical southern Asia from the Indian subcontinent east to southeast Asia. It is mainly resident, but populations in Pakistan and northern India migrate further south in winter.
This species is an uncommon vagrant to Sri Lanka.
This bird is found in open country near water and human habitation. Wire-tailed Swallows are fast flyers and they generally feed on insects, especially flies, while airborne. They are typically seen low over water, with which they are more closely associated than most swallows.
The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges.
The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.
This striking species is a small swallow at 14 cm in length. It has bright blue upperparts, except for a chestnut crown and white spots on the tail. The underparts are white, with darker flight feathers. There is a blue mask through the eye.
This species gets its name from the very long filamentous outermost tail feathers, which trail behind like two wires. Sexes manifest similar appearances, but the female has shorter "wires". Juveniles have a brown crown, back and tail. The Asian form, H. s. filifera, is larger and longer-tailed than the abundant African H. s. smithii.
The scientific name of this bird is after Professor Chetien Smith, a Norwegian botanist, who was a member of the British expedition to the Congo River in 1816, led by James Kingston Tuckey.
(Recovery of the first scaffolding for the construction of the monument to Henry Dundas, alias Lord Melville in St. Andrew Square: a support structure put in place owing to the risk of imminent collapse) en Interview Room 11 Gallery (43 Pennywell Road. EH4 4QR Edinburgh) www.ir11.org.uk/
An ephemeral structure surrounds the monument in honour of Henry Dundas in St Andrew Square, in the economic centre of the city. Taking this as a starting point, a story that depicts the relationship between the monument and the provisional support structure is created.
The towering stone column stands as a metaphor for a power struggle. It conveys an ideology and occupies a symbolic space. The temporary armature made of wood harks back to the very beginnings of this monumental project. It highlights the nature of the monument-to-be, hinting at the collapse of this outsized column.
While the urban icon still remains in the middle of the square, a disused supermarket on the outskirt of the city will serve as an exhibition space. This show seeks to question the urban structure, the planning laws and by-laws guidelines allowed the project to proceed, and the changes that the symbols are suffering.
The sculpture is surrounded by a provisional structure, an empty framework that creates a threshold, a space that extends the centre of the square. The wooden structure does not come into contact with the solid stone of the monument, but it just approaches without actually touching; it seems to be embracing for afar. Once the announced collapse is fulfilled, the column, now turned into stone ruins, can continue to be ‘re-built’ into the vacated space.
The wooden armature is presented as a way to build desires. It is brittle and separated from power only a few centimetres; like a utopia, a tenacious desire that always fails but resists thanks to the fact that it seems to fulfil a function:
Do not let columns drop.

The artist Jacobo Bugarín visits Edinburgh to carry out a specific project in the new space of Interview Room 11 Gallery. This space, on the outskirts of the Scottish capital, belonged to a well-known supermarket chain. After being abandoned, it was converted into studios for artists by the Interview Room 11 team. The Galician artist will exhibit in the building, still in the process of rehabilitation, to create an installation that belongs to and is in a dialogue with the building. Part of the exhibition will also refer to the monument on St Andrew Square where Bugarín visited in Edinburgh during his first trip to the city.
Jacobo Bugarín questions the traditional modes of representation and receptivity. He proposes a modification to perceiving a specific context/reality through an analysis and/or alteration of the relationships that exist between its elements. It makes a difference to know the systems of relations that intervene in the structuring our perception, and the goal is to make the viewer aware of this. The affections, the distance, the empathy, the superposition of structures or the externalisation of the discourse are some concepts on which his latest works of artistic research are based.
Bugarín had already been part of an exhibition at Interview Room 11, The Oracle, in 2014. In his career, he has participated in solo shows, including those in Baleiro and Zona C, in Santiago de Compostela, the Niémeyer Center in Avilés and the recent exhibition at Laboral de Gijón. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions, such as Velar y desvelar at the Museum of Contemporary Art Gas Natural Fenosa and Project Moscow at the Galician Center for Contemporary Art (CGAC).
This project is supported by Acción Cultural Española (PICE, Programme for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture).
Furthermore, the gallery thanks for the generous help of Indaba Deli. Spanish and South African Food and Bodega Soul. Spanish Wine from Small Producers
We will also host the album launch ‘1.4’ by the Edinburgh electronic music collective Bless This Machine, with an exhibition and a performance, starting at 8pm.

On the second hour of Monday morning, November 28, firefighters received reports of a structure near Downtown Pomona engulfed in flames. Firefighters arrived at the scene on the 1463 block of Mission Blvd to an abandoned house. Deputies and firefighters found on the scene what seems to be a homeless encampment with shopping carts and clothes, etc.
Taken around 12AM this morning at Lakewood Ln in Dollar Point, CA. We saw this large structure fire on our way home. When we originally drove by it was a complete inferno with flames pouring out of the front of the house. About ten minutes later, after we had gotten home and walked back, the fire trucks had contained the blaze to the back of the structure.
We continued to watch it burn for about 30 minutes. No further information about how it was started, except for the people in whose apartment the fire had started in were able to escape safely.
The Hotel President was constructed during the same construction boom that brought Kansas City many other great structures, including the nearby Mainstreet Theater, Midland Theatre, and Kansas City Power and Light Building. The hotel was completed in 1926. In 1928, it served as the headquarters for the 1928 Republican National Convention, which nominated Herbert Hoover for president. The hotel's Drum Room lounge attracted entertainers from across the country, including Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, and Marilyn Maye. The Hotel President was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The hotel closed its doors in 1980, and it eventually underwent a massive restoration/renovation led by developers H. Drake Leddy and Ron Jury, reopening in 2005 as the Hilton President Hotel. It is the only hotel in Kansas City's Power & Light District.
