This artwork by Filipino artist Leeroy represents a flotilla of boats. They float above viewers and speak to the nature of the Philippines as a country made up of many islands, in which water has a central place in everyday life. Made from water containers, PET bottles, twine, bicycle wheel frames, ribbons, other found objects and Commissioned by the Biennale of Sydney with assistance from Mirvac and Parramatta Artists’ Studios. These fantastical forms could refer to the main type of transportation employed by people throughout the region for thousands of years. https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/participants/leeroy-new/

vertical forests. The firm Stefano Boeri Architetti China, has completed
construction of its first vertical forest complex, in Huanggang, Hubei

open and closed balconies planted with 404 trees, 4,620 shrubs, and 2,408
square metres of perennial grass, flowers, and climbing plants. Sustainability
and the need to reduce global warming have become part of the vernacular of this
architecture” Seen in Springwise.com.

Gaetano PESCE is a furniture artist who is found somewhere beyond modernism. Pesce’s trademark is as a Trickster – with a smirk about to burst. In the 1970s, when the world was all matte black and chrome, as standardised as Le Corbusier and his ilk wished it, Italian-born Pesce began making furniture and objects of a delirious gloopiness – all polychromatic ooze and inherently inimitable. His practise has been global, his innovations consistently ground breaking. Boundaries between art, design and industry are irrelevant to him, as- art is most certainly not something created and put on a pedestal. http://www.gaetanopesce.com/
A silent Voice “Don’t treat food poorly” or “leaving food uneaten is wasteful”. These words were spoken to the artist as a child. Japan like other countries has dreadful food waste issues. The artist lent an ear to hear the voices of the lives of foods that were sacrificed because they were uneaten or past a use by date – or because they were not the right colour or shape This project places a toy eye on this waste to transform them into characters- in an effort to visualise the lives that vanish in the process of discarded food.
