Two Bored Artists Create a Mini Art Museum for Their Gerbils

If we all could make such productive and creative use of our available time as London-based museum curator Filippo Lorenzin and artist Marianna Benetti.

After over two weeks of being at home and isolated, they decided to recreate famous artworks in miniature as a tiny gerbil art museum, in gerbil themes and gerbil-safe materials (mostly cardboard). The recreations included Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, Edvard Munch’s The Scream,  Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

The gerbils, named Pandoro and Tiramisu (apparently their foodies), have taken to their new space.

We’re guessing it will last for about 2 weeks before they chew their way through it. Ah, art is so ephemeral!

As promised, this is the full video of our gerbils visiting the museum. No gerbils or gallery assistants were harmed in the making of this. from r/aww

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture: Ziad Nakad’s Atlantis Collection

Statement by the Designer:

The idea of Atlantis — the “lost” island subcontinent often idealized as an advanced, utopian society holding wisdom that could bring world peace — has captivated dreamers, occultists and New Agers for generations.

Ziad Nakad imagines, for his Spring Summer 2020 Couture collection, the Modern Day Warrior Princesse.

The celebration of fierceness, softness, determination, ingenuity and compassion that makes up the Modern Day Warrior Princess is electric and eclectic : tulle, silk and taffeta mixed with organza and chiffon emphasize the mermaid silhouettes.

The Modern Day Warrior Princesses, have been able to play to the strength of being female, to celebrate their femininity, not to shy away from it or downplay it: crystals, beads, feathers, all handmade details, are underlining all shades of blue, water green, sun yellow, peach and gold.

A hymn to sensuality, as fluid as the sea and as bright as the sun.
