Patrick Blanc: Vertical Gardens by Letizia Rossi
French artist and botanist Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens are living installations. The lush wall plantings, which are often several stories tall, require no soil and come equipped with a self-sufficient watering system. You can see Blanc's work at the Pershing Hall Hotel and Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, the Marithé and François Girbaud store in New York and the Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez, among other places.

Crash Bonsai
Like a cross between a grown-up dollhouse and sculptor Jonathan Schipper's "Car Crash," Boston-based artist John Rooney's Crash Bonsai doses the Zen art of Bonsai with a little violence. Pick up one of Rooney's custom melted and smashed cars to add humor to your houseplants or to enact aggression on other household objects—like computers, telephones and ugly sofas. The cars range from damaged Alfa...

The Gates
7500 steel gates with nylon flags, 16 feet tall, 23 miles long, 26 years in the making, $20 million, on view for 16 days. My first glimpse of The Gates, Jeanne-Claude and Christo's Central Park installation that opened today in New York was from the top of an apartment building on the South-East side of the park. The orange flags looked like dominoes lining...

Vintage Vandals
The Wurst Gallery has an new online exhibition called Vintage Vandals. They asked artists to find a framed piece of artwork at their local thrift shop and turn it into something of their own.

Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...
