Monte Palace was a 5 star hotel in Sete Cidades (São Miguel, Azores Islands) that open only for one year. It was a foreign investment that didn’t succeed and was unable to pay the suppliers. Soon after the closing became empty and now there’s only the skeleton left. These days it is a monument in the island against especulation and disproportion. From Javier de Riba on Vimeo

via: What Is A Real Aussie? Street artist Peter Drew tackles national identity in poster campaign
A street artist who raised the profile of immigration issues with his Real Australians Say Welcome campaign is at work again on a new project asking What Is A Real Aussie?
“It’s sort of saying to the audience: ‘Aussie? Is this what you think?'” artist Peter Drew said.
“Because this is the truth of our history.
“I think art should ask questions and I try to do it in a friendly way.”
Drew said he went through the national archives in search of images of past Australians and found images of the cameleers from a century ago.
“The cameleers were camel drivers, mostly from Afghanistan, India and Pakistan and they helped explore the outback and helped establish rail networks,” he said.
“They basically ran the outback for 70 years and not many people know they existed.
“The campaign is really based around one guy in particular and his name was Monga Khan.”
The Adelaide artist said Khan applied about 100 years ago for an exemption from the white Australia policy.
“I thought this guy’s portrait was particularly heroic … he can become a symbol for all those people who had to go through that process. I’d really like to make him famous,” he said.
Their body panels consist of a lace work of metal gears, their wind shields no more than mesh, their seats steel and the spaces under their hoods hollow, but these life-sized car sculptures still manage to look like they could fly down the street at top speeds at any moment.

I’ve painted a response to being a Pop Icon. After thirty years, I’ve become Pop Art, something that people look at, recognize, and remember. I’ve tried to respond with art. I hope you enjoy it.

Gazing down at foamy-looking swirls of white on black from a niche in an ancient castle, you almost feel as if you’re an astronaut watching a hurricane form above the ocean on the distant Earth. These cellular arrangements form tentacular appendages of varying opacity, meeting in the centre to create a vortex effect. They are, in fact, made of salt, with each grain symbolising a memory or a moment in time. Artist Motoi Yamamoto installed Floating Garden
