Shattered Porcelain Fragments Fused With Gold by Artist Yeesookyung
The Translated Vase series consists of sculptures reconstructed from discarded ceramic fragments. Skillful ceramic masters reproduce traditional Korean ceramics, and the vases with minor defects are destroyed to keep the rarity and value of the surviving masterpieces. I piece these destroyed pots back together in the manner of three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, covering the cracks in gold. From the moment of destruction, she obtain a chance to intervene and fabricate new narratives with her own translation.
Various types of the porcelains!!!
Torn dedicated porcelain
Throwing porcelain on a momentum wheel and reduction firing in a gas kiln have been fundamental to the creation of his work. Altering these finely thrown porcelain forms dramatically by throwing or hitting them, creates splits in the perfect form.

Hussain Chalayan
He is a British/Turkish Cypriot fashion designer.
He has won the British Designer of the Year twice (in 1999 and 2000) and was awarded the MBE in 2006
In his fashion designs he integrates human body and clothing with technology, science and architecture, playing with the narratives constructed around culture and anthropology. In order to construct these stories he combines his artistic fashion work with installations music and cinema. This is why his catwalk shows are often referred to as performances rather than fashion. According to Chalayan however part of this perception is related to the fact that the garments that are eventually talked about are the ones that are the most innovative, in some cases even described as 'wearable art' and not the rest of the collections that show highly wearable garments

Rei Kawakubo
She is a Japanese fashion designer, founder of Comme des Garçons
Comme des Garçons specialises in anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments. During the 1980s, her garments were primarily in black, dark grey or white. The materials were often draped around the body and featured frayed, unfinished edges along with holes and a general asymmetrical shape. Challenging the established notions of beauty she created an uproar at her debut Paris fashion show where journalists labeled her clothes 'Hiroshima chic' amongst other things. Since the late 1980s, her colour palette has grown somewhat.[3

Vionnet
Madeleine Vionnet was a French fashion designer. Born in Loiret, France, Vionnet trained in London before returning to France to establish her first fashion house in Paris in 1912. Although it was forced to close in 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War, it re-opened after the war and Vionnet became one of the leading designers in Paris between the Wars (1919-1939). Vionnet was forced to close her house in 1939 and retired in 1940.
Madeleine Vionnet is quoted as saying that "when a woman smiles, her dress must smile with her". Eschewing corsets, padding, stiffening, and anything that distorted the natural curves of a woman's body, she became known for clothes that accentuated the natural female form. Influenced by the modern dances of Isadora Duncan, Vionnet created designs that showed off a woman's natural shape

Its members believed the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art, hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite".) sculptor Alexander Munro's statue of the repentant biblical sinner the Woman of Samaria was the gift of Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne, in 1858.

*WHAT IS BRUTALISM?
This can get complicated so here are the basics. Brutalism is a post-war architectural style defined by the use of simple block-like forms usually made from cast concrete or brick. It is characterised by ?Massive? heavily-textured raw concrete (beton brut) and angular geometric shapes. Brutalism thrived between the mid-1950s and 1970s.
HISTORY OF BRUTALISM
Rooted in Modernism and first evident in the work of Le Corbusier in the late 1940s, the term brutalism was first used in an architectural context by Swedish architect Hans Asplund in 1950 who discussed nybrutalism. It was in 1954, when architectural critic Reyner Banham used the term more widely in his writings to refer to the work of English architects Alison and Peter Smithson who created the iconic Hunstanton School in Norfolk and later the Robin Hood Gardens in Poplar, east London. Their style rebelled against the more formal architecture of the 1930s and 40s. The term brutalism came to refer to the functional raw concrete buildings emerging in the UK, and London in particular, in the post-war period. Due to the relatively low cost of concrete, Brutalism was popular for rebuilding government buildings and providing social housing in the period of social solidarity following the Second World War. Writer Jack Self in Fulcrum argues that Brutalism finds popularity in periods of cultural cohesion, representing ?an abstract egalitarian ideal.? With individualism in architecture more likely in boom times, Self suggests that the current popularity in brutalist architecture could be related to the recession.

Reiko Sudo
Textile designer Reiko Sudo, renowned as a 'weaver of new ideas', is Co-founder, current CEO and Design Director of Nuno Corporation of Tokyo, universally recognised as one of the world's most innovative textile companies. Nuno takes the techniques, materials and aesthetics of traditional textiles and re-interprets them with cutting-edge technologies.
Reiko and her design team, together with the company's skilled weavers and dyers, have greatly broadened the parameters of contemporary design in the industry, experimenting with an eclectic array of materials, ranging from silk, cotton and polyester to hand-made paper and aluminium, and finishing methods that include salt-shrinking, rust-dyeing and caustic burning.
The results are distinctive, intriguing and undisputably remarkable.
Nils Völker
He is a media artist based in Berlin whose creative path led from communication design to the use of physical computing. His artistic practice embraces electronics and programming, combined with a fascination for everyday objects and carefully selected fragile materials.
Völker realizes large-scale sculptures and site-specific kinetic installations to investigate mechanical rhythm - such as wavelike animation - in prepared systems and to create a conflict between natural and unnatural phenomena. Incorporating sound and simple components such as plastic bags, computer cooling fans, and lights, his minimalistic artworks carry poetic and emotional depth, constantly changing the setting of the exhibition space. Since 2010 the artist has been working on a series of 'choreographed breathing' installations - mostly consisting of a matrix of cushions of different sizes and materials which inflate and deflate in controlled rhythms - as a development of his highly acknowledged and widely exhibited piece One Hundred and Eight.
Chiharu Shiota
Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota has lived and worked in Berlin for 20 years, and is known for intricate works that explore the complex relationship between the body and the mind. Mapping elusive sensations of emotion and memory, many of Shiota's site-specific, large-scale installations incorporate everyday objects, such as clothing, musical instruments, furniture, letters, even an incinerated piano, weaving them into tangled webs comprising hundreds of metres of black thread. Atmospheric and otherworldly, her installations appear to trap individual memories, suspending them in space and time.

He is knit designer in London.
For a project, Luke researched old gravestones and then used them to make a fabric by doing wax rubbings onto tyvek fabric.
Rottingdean Bazaar
The work of James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks, known collectively as Rottingdean Bazaar, had unmistakeable oomph despite being so explicitly two-dimensional. The idea Basically they put flat or flattened stuff on clothes. They started with a badge project, in which mundane items(every day materials) were incongruously stuck onto symbols of display. This extended to pressed men's underpants or balloons on plain sweatshirts, along with pressed flowers and carrots and straw. One of their sweatshirts is decorated with a fabulous portrait of Che Guevara made of their own hair. Others feature hosiery. It sounds too weird, so let's leave them to their slyly ironic juxtapositions.

Nymph, (1973) by Emilio Greco (1913-1995), "A Gift to the City of Westminster from the President of the Italian Republic"
Emilio Greco- He was an eminent Italian sculptor and draughtsman, renowned for his markedly refined female nudes, portrait busts and strong yet elegant ink drawings. He is one of the greatest sculptors of his generation with a particularly sophisticated style that resembles the Mannerist tradition in Italian art. With his entirely figurative and traditional approach that was paying homage to the Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo, Greco was in a fragile position since the abstract sculpture was becoming dominant around the end of the 20th centaur.

Deconstructing Reality/Gordon matta Clerk
the way his work changed the meaning and scope of sculpture through architectural interventions has been an undeniable influence in architects and students. He worked mostly with ephemeral interventions on buildings through cuts and extractions on floors, walls and other structures, somehow showing the possibilities of descontructing reality by transforming our consciousness and the way we perceive our world. When thinking about the power of representation as means of architectural thinking, the way that Matta-Clark transformed real buildings into scale models 1:1 by cutting its abandoned structures is at least, provocative, because he was reverting the process of our lineal way of thinking. As Louise Désy and Gwendolyn Owens points, he was clearly interested in the built environment with all its complexity and contradictions, not just in the buildings that he could artfully cut apart. This contradictions can also be understood as a kind of architectural dissidence, when practising what he called "Anarchitecture"

Turning the Place Over by Richard Wilson
It's the brainchild of sculptor Richard Wilson, who cut an egg-shaped section out of the derelict building opposite Moorfields station in Liverpool, fixing the eight metre diameter piece on a pivot. Mr Wilson is one of Britain's best known sculptors. He has been nominated for the Turner Prize twice and represented Britain at Biennial festivals across the world. His artwork, called Turning The Place Over, has cost £450,000 and will run from June 20th until the end of 2008. The Culture Company said it was an "astonishing feat of engineering, which will stun audiences."

The Memorial was dedicated in 1911 by George V and his first cousin, Wilhelm II of Germany, the two senior grandsons of Victoria. The sculptor was Sir Thomas Brock. It was completed with the installation of the final bronze statues in 1924.
The massive memorial is seemingly protected by a few surrounding statues; Angel of Truth, Angel of Justice and Charity. The Victoria Memorial is a monument to Queen Victoria, located at the end of The Mall in London, and designed and executed by the sculptor Sir Thomas Brock. Designed in 1901, it was unveiled on 16 May 1911, though it was not completed until 1924. It was the centrepiece of an ambitious urban planning scheme, which included the creation of the Queen's Gardens to a design by Sir Aston Webb, and the refacing of Buckingham Palace (which stands behind the memorial) by the same architect. Like the earlier Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, commemorating Victoria's consort, the Victoria Memorial has an elaborate scheme of iconographic sculpture. The central pylon of the memorial is of Pentelic marble, and individual statues are in Carrara marble and gilt bronze. The memorial weighs 2,300 tonnes and is 104 ft wide. In 1970 it was listed at Grade I. On the pinnacle, is Victory with two seated figures
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the top of the central pylon stands a gilded bronze Winged Victory, standing on a globe and with a victor's palm in one hand. Beneath her are personifications of Constancy, holding a compass with its needle pointing true north, and Courage, holding a club. Beneath these, on the eastern and western sides, are two eagles with wings outspread, representing Empire. Below these, statues of an enthroned Queen Victoria (facing The Mall) and of Motherhood (facing Buckingham Palace), with Justice (facing north-west towards Green Park) and Truth (facing south-east). These were created from solid blocks of marble.
At the four corners of the monument are massive bronze figures with lions, representing Peace (a female figure holding an olive branch), Progress (a nude youth holding a flaming torch), Agriculture (a woman in peasant dress with a sickle and a sheaf of corn) and Manufacture (a blacksmith in modern costume with a hammer and a scroll).
*What it is you like about it?
The Victoria Memorial is a monument to Queen Victoria and the massive memorial is seemingly protected by a few surrounding statues like Angel of Truth, Justice and Charity.
I really like there are many structures like Beneath her are personifications of Constancy, holding a compass, and Courage, holding a club as well as the structures which is under them like angel of truth and justice and so on. Lastly, four bronze monuments are composed to four corner of the structure. It looks like there are stability.
*What don't you like?
I don't now well why they used gilded bronze to make the winged victory, not used real gold. and I also think It probably means to each structure surrounding and protecting winged victory but on the other hand, It's kind of too much. They really don't need to make them all.
*How does it make you feel?
As I said before , It make me feel very stable and It's really cool
*What other work has the artist made?
Naval and Military Power (The Victoria Memorial) by Sir Thomas Brock, K.C.B., R.A. (1847-1922) 1911.
Water is an important element in this basic part of the scheme, for, as suggesting Britain's sea-power, from bronze sculptured fountains On the walls themselves, some 210 feet of marble, sea-waves, in which Tritons and Nereids, with dolphins and seahorses, disport with joyous rhythmic motion, are carved in relief, with careful and vivacious modelling and decorative effect. Over the curved tops of the handsome fountain-arches are to be placed, when completed, two colossal bronze groups. The one, symbolising Naval and Military Power, comprises a reclining nude female figure with an emblematic ship in her arms and a sea shell for helmet on her head, in line with a male figure handling a small sword and wearing an ancient helmet. The other group, Science and Art, is composed also of nude ideal figures in recumbent positions, the female with a palette and brush, the male with a pair of compasses. Sir Thomas is still at work on these groups
KingEdwardVII - Thomas Brock, 1919
There are four great pacing lions as part of the Victoria Memorial in London, the gift of New Zealand, made like the rest of the sculpture by Thomas Brock. Like much of Brock? work, they convey a solidity and mass larger than their already considerable size. Their poise, too, is excellent, with a restrained power and a underlying savagery expressed in the narrowing of the eyes and the whip of the tail. A very large example of a standing, or paused lion is the great Coade Stone one on the South Bank by Westminster Bridge, and as with seated lions.

1972 by Noritaka Minami
In the mid 1960?s and early 1970?s a movement was underway in Japan and other corners of the world. The movement was known as Metabolism and symbolized a new way of living. Kisho Kurokawa designed and led the building of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo, a visionary living environment built of individual cubed living spaces. The cubes stacked one upon another towering over the city forming a living facility of futuristic intent, the only building of its kind. Today, this impressive feat of design and lifestyle option is about to be torn down to be replaced by traditional apartment buildings, but before it exits our reality, Noritaka Minami has taken on the task of documenting and capturing this unique architectural structure. His 1972 collection shows us life inside and outside the cube.
