At the Metropolitan Museum, a New (Islamic) Wing, a New Vista

“On Tuesday, after eight years of renovation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will open its new Islamic wing — the Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia. Below, a tour of some of the collection’s highlights, including smaller images of artworks from other parts of the world, made at the same time”

Andrew Ranville’s Puumaja project:

Meaning “treehouse” in Finnish, Puumaja is a seven-tree installation that includes a habitable cabin, large multi-purpose deck, retractable stairs, and integrated Ramp sculpture. It is built using sustainable timber and local materials, with techniques to minimize impact to the trees and surrounding environment. Located in a remote forest in the Lakeland area of Finland, this privately commissioned project is ongoing.

It is cruel to taunt us with such fantasies.

Looks like from those West Papuan Korowai? Incredible
