Round Up: Week of May 27 – June 2 Cecelia Webber’s Intricate Flowers Made Of Nude Bodies. Zhao Huasen’s Incredible Photographs Of Floating Bicyclists: “A really great bike ride can make you feel like you are floating in mid-air. These photographs we saw on My Modern Met have a similar effect. Zhao Huasen photographed hundreds of cyclists going about their everyday bike rides. He then digitally erased the bicycles from the record, leaving their shadows in place on the pavement below. Through this erasure, the riders appear frozen in space, although many of their faces still look either stressed out or bored by their commute. They remain oblivious to their invaluable part in Zhao’s fantastic world, which might be the best part.” Fumi Nakamura’s ‘Our Hands Will Eventually Destroy Everything Beautiful’.

Van Gogh’s Sunflowers Were Mutants, Gene Study Suggests: “The word “sunflower” brings to mind a mane of vibrant yellow petals encircling a dark whorl of seeds. But not all sunflowers are alike. Some sunflowers have scraggly petals, for instance, or small centers. Many of the sunflowers Vincent Van Gogh depicted in his famous series of oil paintings look rather unusual, sporting wooly, chrysanthemum-like blooms. Now, scientists have pinpointed the genetic mutation responsible for these strange sunflowers’ abundance of small yellow petals.” Kit Cat Tree Lost without Fox Trot.

Phillip Toledano’s ‘A New Kind Of Beauty’ Comes To Kopeikin Gallery (PHOTOS, NSFW): “Phillip Toledano’s latest exhibition, titled, “A New Kind Of Beauty” is heading for Los Angeles. The photo series captures classical portraits of subjects who had extreme cosmetic surgery; each model has undergone a combination of procedures including nose jobs, eyelid lifts, breast and pec implants, and collagen injections. The transformative procedures make the models look almost inhuman, and yet the portraits suggest a new frontier of beauty, perhaps one that has not even fully evolved yet.” Mengyu Chen.
