We’ll never look at CDs the same away again after seeing these images of Wastelandscape, an installation by French artist Elise Morin composed of 65,000 old CDs. Care to see this in person? You’ll find it in Paris at the Centquatre art space, which was formerly a funeral home. The space is now a unique center for creativity that’s open to all types of artistic expression including music, dance and theater.

The artist envisioned Wastelandscape to be like “a still sea of metallic dunes.” The CDs were hand-sewn together into an astounding 500-square meter surface and then draped over inflatable mounds.

This last weekend, 2bemag was @ Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery Paris so we want to show you one of the artists who exhibited his work, Jin Meyerson.
Note: we know KAWS is an awesome artist & we love his work you can check it in our 6th issue, but this time, and seeing the “boom” that Kaws is having, we prefer to show you the work of that other great artist.

“The often monumental paintings of Jin Meyerson, wich feature symmetrical composition and a hyper realistic aesthetic, describe landscapes of twisting lines or crown movements.Lifting press images from magazines and the Internet, Jin Meyerson then deforms them digitally, subjecting them to infinite distortions such as anamorphosis. The artist visually and phisically translates how the media alters our perception of the world”.

More pictures after the jump…

The very much talked about Brooklyn artist KAWS will be showing at Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris with a solo exhibit called Pay the Debt to Nature. Seems like everytime KAWS sneezes, the kids go ape shit, so we are going to get on the bandwagon and promote this show opening November 6th in the City of Lights.

Go to Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin for more images.
