La Iglesia Skate Okuda San Miguel
Kaos Temple is an initiative of artist Okuda San Miguel to transform the so-called “Iglesa Skate” de Llanera (Asturias) in a real temple of art and skate. To do this, through crowdfunding platform Verkami, anyone who would like to contribute as patrons could. Thanks to all these them, the dream came true and Okuda could perform this color transformation in seven days.
Kohei Nawa - Foam (2013)
Small bubbles (cells) continue to form on the surface of a gently lapsing liquid. They accumulate to form an autonomous structure comprised of foam. Each bubble cannot escape the cycle of birth and destruction, which is not unlike the way our cells operate as they metabolize and circulate.

Julien Salaud (b.1977, France) - Grotte Stellaire (2012-14)
Through his practice Julien Salaud questions the links, forces and symbolism that unite man with nature. He is equally interested in the survival of animal and plant species that are currently disappearing and in the manufacture of celestial creatures, chimera formed from birds and insects. Therefore he composes a magic bestiary – that allows us to confront a return to the powerful and mysterious reign of animals. In the artist’s own words, each of his works offers “a different point of view regarding what an animal can be (that of the Cartesian or the geneticist, the predator or the prey, the sorcerer or the mystic)”.
