NEWS - New York: Anselm Kiefer's 'Uraeus' vor dem Rockefeller Center
Mandatory Credit: Photo by William Volcov/REX/Shutterstock (9657481b)
Uraeus, the first outdoor public sculpture by artist Anselm Kiefer is seen at Rockefeller Square near Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in New York City on Wednesday, 02. The work is on display until July 22. The Ureaus, presented by Gagosian and organized by the Public Art Fund and Tishman Speyer, consists of a giant open book with eagle wings 30 feet long, made entirely of lead, on top of a 20-foot-high stainless steel column . Grouped around the base of the spine are even larger lead books, while a large snake coils the spine. Lead is one of the artist's preferred materials for its fluid and soft properties traditionally associated with alchemical transformation, especially its second stage: dissolution.

NEWS - Gefangene in Tennessee verschieben WC und können entfliehen

Six prisoners escaped from jail on Christmas Day by removing a toilet from the wall (shown here from the outside in pictures posted online) and climbing out of the hole behind it in Tennessee. The inmates wrenched off a stainless steel toilet that had vunerable rusted pipes and the bolts holding the unit had rusted out. They took their "window of opportunity" at around 1.30am Christmas morning at the Cocke County Jail Annex, east of Nashville, as there was prior damage to the concrete surrounding the unit due to plumbing repairs. Inmates John Mark Speir and Steven Edward Lewis were captured hours after the prison break. A third inmate, Eric S, Click, 29, was captured late on Monday afternoon.

Police described them as potentially dangerous.

Human-shaped figures installed in sea, Kyles of Bute, Argyll, Scotland - Jul 2012

Scottish artist, Rob Mulholland has installed his latest project - 'Tide flow Time flow' on the shores of the Kyles of Bute. The human-shaped figures are made with mirrored stainless steel.
'We Can't SEA You': Creepy Mirror Sculptures That Blend Into Their Surroundings
An artist has created a body of reflective work installed on the shores of the Kyles of Bute in Scotland.
The series, made by Scottish, contemporary artist Rob Mulholland, is called 'Tide Flow - Time Flow' and are a group of mirrored figures standing in the sea.
The scenery around the stainless steel human forms reflect constantly altering the appearance of the mirrored statues and creating a kinetic surface that moves to the rhythm of the sea, making them on occasions appear invisible.
Mulholland's work explores the human relationship to the natural environment.
The 51-year-old explains that the cretaceous sea-forms, standing alongside the human figures, are a reference to our genetic past highlighting our evolutionary journey so far.
"I was really inspired on my first visit to Caol Ruadh as they have lovely gardens with lots of woodland areas. But what really caught my eye was that they have their own gorgeous beach looking out to the Isle of Bute. Within the first five minutes I had the idea to create an installation of life-sized figures and primitive sea creatures juxtaposed out on the beach," said Mulholland.
"On the day that we installed the sculptures the tide seemed to be coming back in really quickly. We had quite a comical scene as we had to race to bolt the figures and shapes onto the concrete bases as the sea came lapping around our now wet feet!

"I was really inspired on my first visit to Caol Ruadh as they have lovely gardens with lots of woodland areas. But what really caught my eye was that they have their own gorgeous beach looking out to the Isle of Bute. Within the first five minutes I had the idea to create an installation of life-sized figures and primitive sea creatures juxtaposed out on the beach," said Mulholland.
"On the day that we installed the sculptures the tide seemed to be coming back in really quickly. We had quite a comical scene as we had to race to bolt the figures and shapes onto the concrete bases as the sea came lapping around our now wet feet!

'We Can't SEA You': Creepy Mirror Sculptures That Blend Into Their Surroundings
An artist has created a body of reflective work installed on the shores of the Kyles of Bute in Scotland.
The series, made by Scottish, contemporary artist Rob Mulholland, is called 'Tide Flow - Time Flow' and are a group of mirrored figures standing in the sea.
The scenery around the stainless steel human forms reflect constantly altering the appearance of the mirrored statues and creating a kinetic surface that moves to the rhythm of the sea, making them on occasions appear invisible.
Mulholland's work explores the human relationship to the natural environment.

Pop Life: Art in a Material World at Tate Modern has seen Damien Hirst's identical twins performance from 1992 re-staged for the first time.
Identical twins sit beneath two identical spot paintings dressed exactly the same and take part in the same activity for the duration of the show.
The exhibition examines the ways in which artists have built up 'personae' and brands for themselves since the 1980s. Work by Jeff Koons are also featured.

Peter tests his face mask made of fine strands of stainless steel
This Thinker is Electrifying
THIS THINKER IS ELECTRIFYING
A daredevil inventor has created a sparky version of Rodin's The Thinker by shooting 500,000 volts of ELECTRICITY down his body.
Using a home-built Tesla coil pieced together from junk and bits from hardware stores, Peter Terren has risked his life to make this electrifying image.
An he was also only protected from painful death by electrocution by a layer of cheap builders FOIL.
Peter, from Bunbury, Western Australia, explains: "I wanted to convey the concept of the modern electrical age with the barrage of electrical interference in our lives. So much is happening and demanding our attention that it is difficult to "think".
"I decided upon a real life posture like the thinker with a lot of electrical activity around me with sparks onto my body."
His previous Tesla experiments have seen him wrapped in a Faraday cage - kind of like a see-through Dalek - but this time he wanted to push himself.
Peter's face was protected by a mask made of fine strands of stainless steel and his "safety suit" consisted of a wrapping of builders insulating foil. A wig covered up a foil headcap.
The electricity fired from the Tesla rod, which is passed over him in a semi-circle, can then pass down the foil suit and safely out to the earth through his foot.
The 52-year-old says: "In doing this I wanted to do something new that also challenged the boundaries.
"Allowing the sparks to contact my body or face directly is not safe of course. A single spark that gets past the defences would throw me to the ground in intense pain like a Taser shock.
"Multiple sparks would also stop me breathing...

The Saatchi Gallery opening with 'The Revolution Continues: New Art From China' exhibition, London, Britain - 06 Oct 2008
CHINESE REVOLUTION AT SAATCHI RE-OPENING
China is leading the way once again at the re-opening of London's giant Saatchi Gallery.
After a three-year closure the gallery has re-opened its doors in a new venue with the inaugural exhibition "The Revolution Continues: New Art From China".
Featuring some 30 of China's leading young artists, the show promises to be a "cutting edge survey of recent painting, sculpture and installation."
The Gallery was evicted from its original home at the County Hall on London's Southbank in 2005 after a row with the building's owners.
Now found at the Duke of York Headquarters building in Chelsea the Gallery has 70,000 square feet (6,500 square metres) of floor space to play with.
Due to this, it claims to be the only free entry contemporary art museum of its size in the world.
One of the more unusual exhibits on display in its opening exhibition is "Old Persons' Home" by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. This satirical work features wheel-chair bound models of old people, many of whom bear some resemblance to world leaders, trundling aimlessly round the space they inhabit.
In another room sits a huge pile of fake excrement that contains hundreds of toy soldiers. By Liu Wei, "Indigestion II" has been described as "a man-sized statement of rejection... leaving no detail to the imag...
