San Francisco Bay area artist Nemo Gould’s been creating kinetic sculptures from found materials for the Aquarium’s upcoming exhibit, “Tentacles: The Astounding Lives of Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefish, Opening April 12, 2014. Gould’s sculptures tell important conservation stories about the impacts that pollution, overfishing and habitat destruction have on these remarkable creatures.

The finished product is now the Central Saint Martins’ new Front Parlour, which highlights and celebrates repaired objects given new life, and evoking thought on the idea of scarcity. It asks viewers to explore and think about the potential of what is left behind by our consumerist society.
Street artist Nomerz (previously) has been busy lately, cranking out at least four new large-scale pieces in the last few weeks. I really enjoy his blending of graffiti, architecture, and found objects to create each piece.
