from New World Order," featuring map art by Shannon Rankin, BLDGBLOG, 31 March 2010
Artist Sannon Rankin makes intriguing collages and assemblies out of cut-up maps. I love the beauty of the concept, and am ever-enthralled by the idea of reconfiguring our cartographies—our ideas of what the world is like, where things belong, how things connect.

Ninteenth-century Tumblr-esque collages and papercuts from the Danish poet and storyteller:
"Hans Christian Andersen made several picture books for the children and grandchildren of his friends. We know of approx a dozen picture books, all made after 1850. This picture book, which the poet created together with his friend Adolph Drewsen, is made for the one year old Astrid Stampe (1852-1930), the great granddaughter of Hans Christian Andersen's fatherly benefactor Jonas Collin."

Speaking of Tolstoy, I've been enjoying in installments a quite funny article about the very man in the latest Harper's (disappointing subscribers-only link), written by a college acquaintance (gratifying writing-of blog post).

I love the color and use of flatness and space in this collage-like sculpture by the young L.A. artist Ana Serrano.
