After trying out Cargo Collective for a little while, I’ve gone full steam ahead and built a new website for myself with them. As it stands it represents a years worth of work. I will be updating it frequently with new work, such as my remix for the Jarrod Hayne Experiment, which I am quite proud of.
This blog is now www.primarystructures.com.au as opposed to log.adrianclement.com, and will be a separate entity from my solo work and Pineapple Park.
2010 Red Dot Awards for Product Design -
Worth checking out, for sure, even though some choices are perhaps a bit dubious. (Via Jorge San Luis.)
Raising Minimalist Children in a Society of Excess
I love the honesty and playfulness in Misaki Kawai’s work. Plus, this one’s yellow. (Via It’s Nice That.)
“I think there’s nothing more minimal than impermanent, temporal work that discards the material, and has no physical consequences on the space where it is installed. And what a better medium to achieve this than performance art?” —
This is perhaps the reason James and I are venturing more and more into performance art.
(Via Minimalissimo.)
Leo Babauta:
In this post I’ll tell you (briefly) why I chose veganism and how it is the diet I believe is most in line with minimalism.
I agree.
Some terrific work on this site, this one being my favorite.
“The minimum could be defined as the perfection that an artefact achieves when it is no longer possible to improve it by subtraction. This is the quality that an object has when every component, every detail, and every junction has been reduced or condensed to the essentials. It is the result of the omission of the inessentials.” — John Pawson, “Minimum” (via mnmal). This is very close to my definition of minimalism, and why I very much identify with the term “reductive art”.
“I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience
that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as
music does; to “explain” a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it
by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation.”
— Stanley Kubrick, in regards to 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is my mantra for making art, essentially.
I just deleted my Last.fm account, so the closest thing I’ve got to that now is my Ping profile.
