Ed Ruscha Busted Glass, 2007

The most poetic and beautiful work, recently rediscovered in a book shelf in New York. Fruit juice stains on moiré evolved into transparent fractures drawn on grainy paper. Fragile and painstaking.

Silicon Dioxyd

1. Gerhard Richter 8 Panels, 2012
2. Roy Lichtenstein Mirrors (Studies), 1970
3. Roy Lichtenstein Mirror (6 Panels), 1970
4. Robert Rauschenberg Gull (Jammer), 1976
5. Robert Rauschenberg Reef (Jammer), 1976

From mirror panels to mirror studies to mirrored sheets. Five works that destroyed contemporary art practice. Like the splintered fragment of glass stuck in the bleeding thumb of today's pseduo-artist and his 'fast food installation' corpus.

Horst Decoration, Issue 8

1. Cabinet Snickeriet, X-Frame Glass Top Table Artek
2. Globe Lamp Verner Panton, Glass Bathtub Boffi
3. Vase Piet Hein Eek, Glass Chair Shiro Kuramata

Welcome to my every hour glass home. I love a clear plastic raincoat, my dear Raf Sander. Thus, I have created its appropriate surrounding, a perfect stage. Everything is so transparent, you can look right through.

Concrete Living II

1. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Osaka
2. Acne New York & Jil Sander New York
3. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Tokyo

Venus de Milo as symbol for the modern woman, as icon of orientation, ideals, beauty (q.v. Acne Paris). A strict and steel version of Daedalus' gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur reconstructed by Raf Simons & Gernaine Kruip (q.v. Jil Sander New York). Sterling Ruby's splatter theme and Roger Hiorns's 'crying tears' triangle wallpaper - echoing this disorientation (q.v. Raf Simons Toyko and Osaka).

Men On Stairs

1. Marc Jacobs by Ryan Pfluger for Time Magazine
2. Raf Simons by Willy Vanderperre for Fantastic Man

Male fashion designers as interior pin-ups. Please note the obligatory girl portrait in the background as well as the glass and steel rails. Adding to the seductive staging of an invitation 'upstairs'.
