Toilet Tricycle Race by Carol T Chung
Just because the moment has passed, does not mean it isn't worth mentioning. For example, The Toilet Tricycle Race kicked off the annual Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe on September 2nd. The event was created and organized by artists Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala. They hoped to provide opportunities for a collaborative creative environment and community involvement. The race took place in Philadelphia's historic Old City neighborhood.

Héctor Zamora: Sciame di Dirigibili
The installation "Sciame di Dirigibili" by Mexico-born, Brazilian resident Héctor Zamora is jump-starting the exciting kickoff of the six-month-long 53rd Venice Biennale, offering us a glimpse at what will have festival-goers remembering the event for biennials to come.

Warren Muller's Light Sculptures
by Tisha Leung Juxtaposing found objects with fanciful arrangements of light, Warren Muller morphs the two elements into one-of-a-kind chandeliers and sculptures. Scouring salvage yards and sidewalks, Muller (who started his career as a performance artist) injects kinetic drama with clusters and rows of small bulbs. More recently, the bulk of his work incorporates personal items from clients, recycling forgotten or cherished things from their...

Dufala Brothers: Trophy
I'd never heard of Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala, two brothers producing art together under the moniker Dufala Brothers, until yesterday when Amy Adams, director of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, sent me a couple of jaw-dropping images of their recent work. Now I'm contemplating a day trip to Philly just to see their installation. "Long Runner" (below) and "Special Air Mission 28000" (right), are both...
