Love is a desire almost as constant as the need to speak about it. For centuries, the Arabic language has forged a vocabulary specifically to describe the diversity of love. The language of eroticism was celebrated in ancient texts as the ideal way to have a liberated body, sensuality and pleasure. However, the end of this golden age gave way to a schizophrenic use of Arabic. Limited, circumscribed and moralized, it has now become, writes the Syrian poet Salwa Al Neimi, the “tomb of the loving feeling.”
LOVE is developed as a mechanical wall installation with the word itself repeated as an instinctive and spontaneous response to this quasi censorship. The variation around the single word “love” in this work demonstrates how it has come to mean beauty, body, sex, sexual pleasure and forbidden and dissatisfying love. - ZB
Luzhkov Bridge | Moscow, Russia
The tradition of attaching “love locks” (meant to symbolize a couple’s everlasting love) to allegedly lucky spots is nothing new. (It’s become a custom in Serbia, China, Italy, and France, among others.) One spot where the phenomenon is now especially popular is Moscow’s Luzhkov Bridge, which features metal “Trees of Love” that were installed expressly for those coming to hang a padlock. Lovers inscribe a lock with their names or a personal message, and once the fixture is attached, the key for it is thrown over the bridge into the canal below—then, according to local legend, their union will remain unbroken.
Maurizio Cattelan’s Toilet Paper
On opening night of the Maurizio Cattelan retrospective at the Guggenheim (read Peter Schjeldahl’s review of the show), a Hummer stretch limo with the words “TOILET PAPER” printed on the side was not-so-discreetly parked outside the museum. The insignia referred to Toilet Paper magazine, a bi-annual, picture-based publication co-created by Cattelan and the photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari.

Leaf Portraits. By Justina from Compai found here. In her own words:
My niece Noa collects all kinds of odds and ends like rocks, leaves, sequins, pennies, shells, sea glass— and she calls them “treasures.” She reminded me to take a closer look at things that I usually just sweep away and inspired me to make some art from leaves I was raking away in my yard. The result is a series of leaf portraits, the first of which is displayed above.
“Splitscreen,” directed by J.W. Griffiths. A love story shot by cell phone.
