Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo's Melting Men is a series of installations exhibited in public places around the world, designed to bring attention to global warming & its disastrous effects on the world's ice caps & climate in general. Made of 1000 figures cast in ice & seated on the sunlit steps of a Berlin concert hall, the piece pictured above was sponsored by the WWF to coincide with their release of a report detailing the effects of climate change in the Arctic.

the event of a thread
Ann Hamilton's latest exhibition, the event of a thread, combines theater, audience participation & performance art to create a multi-sensory installation. Housed in the expansive Wade Thompson Drill Hall at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, a billowing white curtain suspended from the rafters sways & undulates as visitors to the exhibition swing, while two people seated at a desk amongst cooing pigeons read from texts, the resulting narrative broadcast through paper-wrapped radios that visitors pick up & carry around as they move about the exhibition.
If you happen to be there when they shut the exhibition in the evening, the pigeons are released from their desk-top cages where they fly through the hall to their nighttime perch in the rafters, creating their own singular version of the piece as they stir the curtain & fill the room with the beating of their wings.
