Sweden’s Museum of Failure adds Trump!

celebrityabout

Samuel West’s “Museum of Failure” is an act of celebration. On June 7, West, a collector and self-described innovation researcher, debuted 51 failed products in a museum exhibition in the Swedish city of Helsingborg, all in the name of honoring the creative process. Visitors will get reacquainted with familiar names like Betamax and Blockbuster, and perhaps meet lesser-known flops — Twitter Peek, anyone? — all of which West has been collecting for the past year.   Including what looks like Trump’s Apprentice the home game. “You’re Fired, Mommy!” “Even the biggest baddest most competent companies fail,” West tells Business Insider. “The trick is to create an organizational culture that accepts failure so that you can fail small … rather than failing big.” Here’s a taste of the products that are getting a second life on display. Seriously, I love it.  Although I call BS on the Palm Pilot. That thing brought me a solid year of good times and you can’t ask much more of modern tech.

Comparing Young Thug to historical paintings is amazing

celebrityabout

Hajar Benjida attends a performing arts school in the Netherlands where she studies photography. When the class was told to draw inspiration from the work at a local museum, and create an original project.  Benjida admits she waited till the last minute. Benjida’s procrastination is our reward. “I drew inspiration from this artist who researched thousands of selfies of other people, and based on that, he made the ultimate guide to the perfect selfie. I had so many photos of Young Thug on my phone, so I just looked through them all and found some combinations. I actually had no idea what to do for this assignment until I came up with this the night before class and presented my idea in a PowerPoint in the morning. It’s the perfect combination of two of my favourite things: hip hop and classical art.” The result is an Instagram account of wonderfully mirroring images of Young Thug against the masters of art.  Enjoy: Man and boy in Algiers by Anders Zorn (1887) A post shared by Young Thug as paintings (@youngthugaspaintings) on Feb 5, 2017 at 12:44pm PST   ??

Artist Uses Dead Sea as Medium

celebrityabout

Israeli artist Sigalit Landau decided to submerge a black gown in the Dead Sea. The gown entered the salt-rich waters in 2014 and was recently removed for display.  The results are amazing. The project is an eight-part photo series called Salt Bride and was inspired by S. Ansky’s 1916 play titled Dybbuk. Landau checked on the black gown various times during three-month intervals in order to capture the gradual process of salt crystalisation that you can see in the pictures below. You can also see them at London’s Marlborough Contemporary, where they’ll be on display until September 3rd. The post Artist Uses Dead Sea as Medium appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.
