Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting the "Tell me more" exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Herzliya. It was truly a delightful experience, and I highly recommend exploring its 3D scan, especially since yesterday marked the exhibition's final day. During the guided tour, I was particularly moved by the story of Shmuel Katz. Shmuel (Alexander) Katz, an Israeli painter, illustrator, and cartoonist, gained fame for his enchanting illustrations in the children's story "An Apartment for Rent." What struck me most about Katz's story was his interdisciplinary approach. He seamlessly integrated his artistic talent into various mediums, from painting to concrete walls and ceramic tiles. Katz's ability to transcend traditional boundaries and express himself across different fields resonates deeply with me. As someone studying user experience design, I aspire to follow a similar path of interdisciplinary exploration. Typography, illustration, and animation are just a few areas where I see myself developing, driven by my passion for creativity and innovation.

Today is National Creativity Day! In the spirit of that, here are 4 ways we get inspired when we need a boost in creativity... 1. 📚 Looking at the typography and graphical elements of magazines and books 2. 🗿 Visiting museums 3. 🌳 Walking through parks or immersing ourselves in nature 4. 🚶♀️ Walking through the streets of a new city or even a new neighbourhood . . . #socialmediaagency #brandingagency #designagency #webdesignagency #brandingconsultant #socialmediaconsultant #socialmediaproject #brandingstrategy #nationalcreativityday #creativityday

1-54 is glad to continue its Global Media Partner with Art Review for Marrakech 2024! From our Global Media Partner ArtReview For the February issue, ArtReview asked its editors and a range of international artists to highlight their Future Greats, a broad and subjective category for what is essentially a group of less-established artists they think merit particular attention. ⁠ ⁠ But tapping into the biennial and art-market stars of tomorrow isn’t really the point of Future Greats. It’s more about highlighting those who are making art that they find exciting and alluring, and who they think might be offering new definitions of what art can be. These artists, whether working in photography, film, puppetry, performance or sculpture, are capturing a complicated present as they seek ways through to future possibilities.⁠ ⁠ ArtReview launched its first Future Greats issue in 2007; many of the artists featured (Anne Imhof, Chris Evans, Thomas Zipp, Paulina Olowska, to mention just a few) are still readily recognisable names. In contemporary art, there’s often the impression that novelty, velocity and visibility are the markers of success. A cycle of new faces, changing endlessly, some of them destined to become art ‘stars’. (Who would have thought, during the early 2000s, that during the 2020s artists could become overnight ‘names’ on Instagram?)⁠ ⁠ But who are they new to, and great in what way? Sometimes it’s also about where, and how, people are paying close attention. This year’s ten up-and-coming artists have been selected by a mix of more-established artists and ArtReview’s editors.⁠

Last week, I had the opportunity to contribute several images to an art story in the “Insight” section of the Toronto Star Here are some key takeaways from my experience photographing art in public spaces: 1. **Traditional Photojournalism Feature Images:** Capture the essence and context of the artwork in a way that tells a bit of a story. 2. **Interaction Between Geometry and Humans:** Look for moments where the artwork interacts with the surrounding geometry and the people passing by, adding a dynamic element to the image. 3. **Offbeat Moments:** Seek out unique, unexpected moments where the artwork remains prominent yet engages creatively with its environment. These strategies might add a little visual storytelling to images but mostly serve to bring out the unique character of public art installations. Richard Serra’s sculture Pearson Toronto Airport is a good example. #Photojournalism #PublicArt #Toronto

What Makes an Image Iconic? In conversation with Iconic Images Gallery What transforms an artwork into an icon, an image that transcends time and space to embed itself in our visual culture? The journey to uncover what makes an image iconic is not just about appreciating a single frame or a stroke of genius: it is about dissecting an intricate tapestry of stories, eras, and innovations that converge in that decisive moment of creation. Indeed, true ‘icon’ status is attributed only to the most unforgettable and ubiquitous images of our time. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gjRqNWHd

White space makes all the difference. In the fields of visual arts, photography and design, one of the key lessons is the value of white space. White space offers room to breathe, and for the main features of art and design to shine. What if we were to apply the lessons of white space to our work and life? Because we know that the days where we have little breathing space in our calendar, body and brain, it can be overwhelming, unfocused and tiring. A little white space restores the clarity, room for thought, deep practice and calm. I know the type of day I’d prefer to be having. What about you? Might some white space in your days be what you need? #MakingChangeHappen #2023Goals #Productivity #SelfLeadership Written by Leanne Gordon - Changing Futures.
