Austrialian art/advertising collective The Glue Society has unveiled its latest artwork, titled I Wish You Hadn't Asked, at the Sculpture By The Sea festival in Aarhus, Denmark.
The work consists of a large house, where it rains on the inside. The public are encouraged to enter with a raincoat. Artist James Dive of the Glue Society says the work is "about that moment in a relationship when something is said, or done, that can't be taken back. And the rot sets in."
Johnson's Backyard Garden is an organic farm just five miles east of Downtown Austin. JBC works with the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programme, which is a direct partnership between the consumer and the farmer. Members pay in advance for a share of the upcoming harvest, thus the farmer is ensured a consistent market and the consumer is ensured high-quality local produce.
Earlier this year, JBG started using a new logo created by fellow Austinite Ryan Rhodes. The new logo and identity revolve around inked pieces of wood that are then arranged quite organically to make up letters that then make words, or shapes like roosters and beets.
He has invented 'Geometrism' in space, at once knowing and strange. And it has an amazing subtlety: there are no accidents in his work. Everything is planned, from its very inception to the final snapshot.

De Appel arts centre, Amsterdam, presents a new project by the Finnish artist, Otto Karvonen. In ‘Alien Palace’, Karvonen has taken the tense political climate in the Netherlands, the complex debate with regard to immigration and integration, and the position of the ‘stranger’ as the starting point for a new sculptural project. The collection consists of six birdhouses that were specially developed for migrating birds in Amsterdam. In general birdhouses have a welcoming character and are made of warm, natural materials, but Karvonen has opted for cement, aluminium and stainless steel. The harsh aesthetics of his designs are derived from various Dutch detention centres for asylumseekers.
From 24 March these birdhouses will be hung from streetlights in the Vondelpark, close to the Filmmuseum.
