Superabundant Atmosphere est le nom d’une installation développée par l’artiste new-yorkais Jacob Hashimoto. Composée de milliers de cerf-volants blancs en tissu de soie faits main collés sur des cadres de bambou, cette création est une superbe structure présentée à la Rice Gallery en 2005.
Accidents while sawing are generally the result of the user turning their body to achieve a certain angle while cutting trees horizontally. In this awkward position, the saw often slips from the user’s grasp, spinning from the torque before coming into contact with a leg or other extremity. To solve this problem, the Rotation Saw is fitted with a revolving handle so the user can adjust the angle at which they’re cutting without moving from the proper body position.

A team of New Zealand architects has won a speculative competition to design a new residence for the Australian Prime Minister.
The Lodge by the Lake competition was held by the University of Canberra to encourage a discussion about an eventual replacement for the Prime Minister’s current residence in the city, known as The Lodge.
The winning entry, submitted by architects Jack Davies, Nick Roberts and Henry Stephens, is a lodge split over a number of levels with its front half sunk into the earth as it approaches the lake.
“The brief was extensive and complex – especially when coupled with the particularities of the topography,” Roberts told Dezeen, explaining that their lodge combines intimate, private areas with monumental spaces suitable for public events.
“Managing this interface architecturally is not dissimilar to the private/public balance we imagine the Prime Minister must deal with personally on a daily basis,” said Roberts. “As a result the building resists becoming an object on the hill – the building both enfolds the landscape and is subsumed by it.”
The lodge, which would be constructed from concrete, local timber and recycled metal, is proposed for a site at Attunga Point, a landscaped peninsula overlooking Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.
“This design stood out as one that most successfully integrates the built forms with the subtle landscape of Attunga Point,” the judges noted in their remarks. “It responsibly owns the landscape, it is beautifully sited and it celebrates the lake edge location.”
Entries were required to include a private home and study, function spaces, a jetty, a swimming pool and areas for garden parties as well as space to present works of art from the National Gallery of Australia.
Roberts and Davies are both architecture graduates working in New Zealand and Australia respectively, while Stephens is completing his Master of Architecture degree at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
A 388-metre-high tower for Melbourne, which will be the tallest building in the southern hemisphere when completed, was recently approved by planners, while London firm Grimshaw has submitted plans for a 90-storey skyscraper in a suburb of Sydney – see all Australian architecture.

Print Club London has recruited an impressive lineup of illustrators for an exhibition to coincide with Film4 and Somerset House’s annual “summer screen”.
The illustrators – including Kate Gibb, Joe Wilson, James Joyce and Anthony Burrill – will each produce an original print inspired by one of the films being shown at this year’s series of open air screenings.
The final posters will be on display at Somerset House’s West Wing gallery from August 1 – 21. Each will be limited edition (one of 200) and priced at £40.
Some of the prints are still a work in progress, but Print Club has released a completed illustration by Michael Gillette representing Ken Loach’s 1969 film, Kes (top); a neon pink, black and white print by Hattie Stewart for US high school drama Mean Girls (above) and Joe Wilson’s striking poster depicting Japanese film Throne of Blood (below).
It’s an eclectic collection of films – from horror to Ryan Gosling rom-coms – and the exhibition will include an equally mixed range of artistic styles, from Holly Wales’s signature felt tip pen drawings to Peter Strain, whose work usually combines bold imagery and typography. Print Club co-founders Rose Stallard and Fred Higginson will also be producing prints.
Each artist was asked to choose three films from the 17 being screened, and was allocated a movie based on one of their choices. The project has taken more than a year to plan, and Print Club organisers have had to secure permission from each of the film companies involved.
Most of the prints will remain secret until the exhibition’s launch, but the final artists and their film choices are:
Anthony Burrill – The Way Way Back
Peter Strain – Carrie
Anthony Peters – Raising Arizona
Serge Seidlitz – Gremlins
Kate Gibb – Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
Hvass & Hannibal – Guys & Dolls
Joe Wilson – Throne of Blood
Hattie Stewart – Mean Girls
Jess Wilson – Predator
Michael Gillette – Kes
Holly Wales – Red Shoes
MOL – Crazy Stupid Love
HelloVon – Loved Ones
Rose Stallard – Badlands
Steve Wilson – Untouchables
James Joyce – Baby Jane
A 17th is still to be announced.

Reader J submitted the following to Ask Unclutterer (some information has been changed to protect privacy):
I have a 60 year old sibling who has been hoarding since her child went off to college. S/he is now sleeping in the bath tub. S/he insists s/he is not a hoarder. The other siblings and I have attempted to help clean, but it is truly overwhelming. My sibling has issues with abandonment, victimization, and discrimination. Can you help?
To let readers of the site know, I responded to J when this question arrived in my inbox and didn’t make her or him wait for me to write about it in a column. It’s a common type of question we receive to the site, however, and so I wanted to address it more publicly for anyone who may come to Unclutterer with similar concerns.
Hoarding is a serious and real illness for those who are plagued by it. It’s not a personality quirk or something they’re able to control at this point in time. The person is not hoarding to upset you, but the stuff is likely upsetting the hoarder and he or she feels completely powerless about it. Similar to other physical and psychological ailments, hoarding is not a condition that goes away on its own. Hoarding requires the treatment of a licensed medical and/or psychological practitioner who has been especially trained to help people who are diagnosed hoarders.
Not all people who have excessive numbers of belongings, though, are hoarders (some are chronically disorganized, some have other ailments and hoarding is a side effect, some are situational and will be processed over the course of a year, etc.). That is why it is vital to have the person evaluated so proper help can be given to him or her. What is most important is to get the best care for the person who needs it. And, the best care is rarely a forced cleanout as the first step in the process. Although a forced cleanout would make you feel better — knowing your sibling is no longer living in a dangerous physical environment would most certainly relieve some of your anxiety — it won’t treat the hoarding and the place will just fill up with more stuff in a matter of months. (Or, worse — forced cleanouts have been linked to some suicides among the hoarding population.)
Thankfully, most licensed medical and psychological practitioners also work in combination with professional organizers who have been trained to work with this segment of the population. With treatment, almost all homes and lives of hoarders will see improvements over time.
As someone who loves a hoarder, it also can be difficult to see someone in need — as it is the same as seeing someone you love hurt in a car accident or in the hospital with pneumonia. You want to be able to fix things, and that desire is understandable. For someone on the outside looking in (both literally and figuratively), there are also resources available for you so you can provide the best type of support for your sibling (or spouse or child or parent or friend).
If you suspect you or someone you love may be a hoarder, seek out the help of the following respected organizations:
Thank you, J, for submitting your question for our Ask Unclutterer column. I hope you are able to find the type of assistance you are searching for through one or more of the previously mentioned organizations. You’re also a wonderful sibling for loving and wanting to help your brother or sister. Please also check the comments for insights from our readership, many of whom have been in a similar situation as yourself. Good luck!
