Tiger Rug Made of 500,000 Cigarettes
China’s renowned contemporary artist Xu Bing has worked on tobacco-related projects for over ten years. Bing’s works of art, inspired by the nicotine-rich leaves, began in 2000 at Duke University.
Over a decade later, the imaginative artist is now exhibiting the third and final installment of his trilogy, known as Tobacco Project. This 440-pound rug is only one piece of his current series. The entire exhibit explores global trade, packaging, marketing, and the irony of subliminal seduction in advertising for a potentially life-threatening product. Bing’s work is running now through December 4, 2011 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and will be moved to the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut in January 2012. -

Photo:…Speculation about Mona Lisa (Wikipedia) by Nadia Minic on Flickr.
The artist Susan Dorothea White has interpreted the masculine proportions of Mona Lisa’s cranial architecture in her anatomical artworks Anatomy of a Smile: Mona’s Bones (2002) and Mona Masticating (2006). Dr. Lillian F. Schwartz of Bell Labs suggests that the Mona Lisa is actually a self-portrait. She supports this theory with the results of a digital analysis of the facial features of the woman in the painting and those of the famous possible self-portrait drawing by Leonardo. When the drawing is reversed and then merged with an image of the Mona Lisa using a computer, the features of the faces align perfectly.
