Woodstock 99’ was supposed to be the reincarnation of the original peaceful Woodstock 69’ that changed the world and is one of the most iconic festivals ever put on to date. Let’s just say Woodstock 99’ didn’t have the near same results… With a whopping 400,000 in attendance over the four day festival it seemed there was only one way this festival could end… and that’s when the anarchy began. Long water lines to access the free water fountains lasted a short time until frustration led a few to break the pipes to provide water to those in the middle of the line, in turn creating many large mud pits. The number of toilets installed proved insufficient for the number of guests and within a short time, some facilities, notably the portable toilets and showers on site, were unusable and ove
Pyramids of Giza, Arabic Ahrāmāt Al-Jīzah, Giza also spelled Gizeh, three 4th-dynasty (c. 2575–c. 2465 BCE) pyramids erected on a rocky plateau on the west bank of the Nile River near Al-Jīzah (Giza) in northern Egypt. In ancient times they were included among the Seven Wonders of the World. The ancient ruins of the Memphis area, including the Pyramids of Giza, Ṣaqqārah, Dahshūr, Abū Ruwaysh, and Abū Ṣīr, were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

In this intriguing sculptural series spanning 2005 to 2014, LA-based artist Walead Beshty packaged his artworks in FedEx boxes and shipped them across the country to exhibitions and galleries. But unlike most artists who utilize every bit of care to protect and pad their artwork from the inevitable rough handling of mail carriers, Beshty designed his pieces to break. For his famous FedEx works he constructed laminate glass objects that fit seamlessly within the dimensions of standard size shipping boxes. Through the “normal” handling the objects would inevitably crack and shatter and it was up to curators and gallerists to carefully remove each piece for display. The fragile volumes were then given titles that specifically mention the date, tracking number, and box size of shipment.

Peter Kogler is best known for his different psychedelic room installations. Through his paintwork and his intricate projections, he transforms ordinary looking rooms and spaces such as lobbies, galleries, and transit centers by making them look twisted, warped or distorted, which in turn has a psychedelic effect on the public. The rooms alter one’s perception of architecture, which serves as the primary medium for his art. For his Rooms installations, Kogler essentially uses hypnotizing line designs to affect the viewer’s perception in unique and unnatural ways. He transforms ordinary spaces into virtual mazes with different interesting lines, creating a feeling of undefined movement. Peter transforms ordinary galleries, transit centers, and lobbies into near hallucinatory experienc
