Pavilion of Light and Sound by Shigeru Ban

Barbie loves a little make-up but what do you do with a lot? Construct an art installation of course!

Pavilion of Light and Sound by Shigeru Ban

Located in Venice in the Palazzo Pisani, the piece was envisioned by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and is constructed with 90,000 black case eye shadow palettes from cosmetics company Shiseido. Divided into a small observation lane on either side of the wave and a covered underside where light can shine through the 9mm gaps between palettes.

Would you use make-up for a masterpiece?

Barbie would!

Enjoy!

The Band-Aid House by Camille Lemmolo

Sometimes you can’t stick a band-aid on a wound to heal it. Often the best thing for some wounds is air to breathe & rest and to boost the immune system a lot of TLC and a little interaction with loved ones. Barbie has become a healer through much of her own wounds and loves to encourage others to find better alternatives to healing than just sticking a band-aid on a problem.  Here’s a Dreamhouse that speaks to the soul...

The Band-Aid House by Camille Lemmolo

The Band-Aid House is an art installation by Camille Lemmolo. The installation is a metaphorical safe place in which the viewer can reflect on the human condition with a deeper sense of grace and gratitude. The 10 ft tall house dedicated to her brother Paul is covered in 21,000 band-aids & scotch tape was envisioned out of a horse-riding accident that was nearly fatal for the artist. 

The Band-Aid House was a part of the special curatorial projects at Art/Miami Dec. 2013.  This house reached thousands of viewers, establishing that humans are aching to reach out and connect with one another in a world where we often feel we should not.

Would you love to explore the Band-Aid House?
Barbie would!
Enjoy!
