After giving us another perspective of the Louvre in Paris, months later Vincent Leroy returns to amaze us with one of his installations, but it is no longer a novelty.

Entitled “Bubble Canyon” this time the Parisian artist has installed his spheres in the beautiful natural park located in the southwest of the United States in the state of Utah.

As always the artist intends to offer us a “dislocated immersion of reality and abstract contemplation”. His spheres float suspended as if by magic among the rocky mountains of the park.
Each bubble captures the color and shapes of the cliff, the installation highlights the richness of this extraordinary place.

A unique installation, as the rough and steep landscape contrasts with the smoothness of the bubbles. All accompanied, as in the previous installation, by music by composer Jerome Echenoz.

Emojis are certainly a universal language, but not for this reason suitable for everyone. There are still people who prefer words to images, or who are not reflected in the hundreds of existing emoji. 
One of them is Andreas Samuelsson, an illustrator from Gothenburg, who thinks that Apple’s little faces and icons are not for him. 

This dissatisfaction has led to his personal Emoji Library, a project in collaboration with the Nieves publishing house. With his unmistakable style, Andreas illustrated as many as 100 emoji, which can be downloaded from the App Store. 

Andreas Samuelsson’s works have always stood out for the simplicity of their shapes and colors that allow his images to be appreciated by people of all ages and to be interpreted at will. The illustrator has maintained this clean and minimalist style for the Emoji Library as well. 

We find small images that have a maximum of two colors and in which the details have been reduced to the minimum necessary to recognize the figure. Moreover, apart from some classic emoji like the apple, Andreas has added some completely new ones like a Moka, an olive, or a banana peel. 

This year in California because of the pandemic will be the first state where all citizens will vote by mail, entrusting their vote to the American postal system (USPS).

So the designers of the John McNeil studio in San Francisco decided to create a special initiative, called “Stamp Out”, to save democracy and help the American postal service in view of what is considered one of the most important American elections.

Through a site created ad hoc, it is possible to print posters where to put stamps for everyone, allowing more people to vote.
Or you can take the stamps to the corner of Hayes and Octavia in San Francisco between October 3 and election day (November 3) to help eliminate corruption.

“Voting is a fundamental right and the responsibility of every American,” explains Founder John McNeil. “Unfortunately, at a time when an unprecedented number of Americans will be relying on the US mail to vote, the USPS is being undermined and politicised by the current administration. ‘Stamp Out’ is a means of both protest and proactive support. By purchasing stamps, we help ensure the viability of the USPS, and by putting those stamps on the ‘Stamp Out’ wall, we send a collective message; rejecting the rampant corruption that exists within our political system, today.”

He announced it a few days ago and now the wait is over, James Blake has released his new EP Before.

A four-track project, some songs have dance and techno atmospheres, or at least a club atmosphere. The British artist said: “I work continuously to improve my songwriting and this EP is a way to show another part of my work. You never get to write the perfect song.”

Blake’s latest album is Assume Form from 2019. During the quarantine, the singer released the singles You’re Too Precious, Godspeed, Are You Even Real?, spread various covers on Instagram.
Now it’s time to enjoy his four new singles: I Keep Calling, Before (which is accompanied by a so-called homemade video), Do You Ever and Summer of Now.
