phoebe washburn calling.




i read art news this week and found myself staring at this installation, "compeshitstem" by artist phoebe washburn. although i had never heard of her or seen her work she is apparently a rising art star having shown in the 2008 whitney biennial which is very fancy. the piece above was created specifically for the site at the kestnergesellschaft in hanover germany, and i love it. i am obsessive about recycling any materials i can at the studio, and to see beauty and order created from someone else's trash is a revelation.
