Faig Ahmed Creates Psychedelic Rugs From Traditional Azerbaijani Textiles
Faig Ahmed’s latest project focuses on making contemporary carpets from classical Azerbaijani textiles. Ahmed graduated from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in Baku in 2004. His background as an artist covers painting, video and installation as well as other mediums; however, his attention is currently focused on working with textile and sculpture.
Traditional Azerbaijani carpets rely heavily on geometric and symmetrical patterns, stemming from historical influence. The carpets are usually limited to be rectangular or square in shape. By dismantling the laws that govern the structure and pattern of these fabrics, Ahmed converges his love of ancient culture to create a psychedelic visualization. By refurbishing the traditional compositions into a contemporary sculpture, he disassembles their stable nature and injects motion into a pre-existing lifeless object.
The patterns break away from their rigid symmetry and melt away from the tapestry into a colorful puddle. Ahmed also adds a digital effect to the rugs by pixelating fragments and blank spaces on the drapery. Overall, the artist intentionally creates an interesting union between contemporary art and ancient Azerbaijani roots.

Byoungho Kim Born in Seoul in 1974 is an Korean artist. Since 1999 has been expanding his unique art practice of sound sculpture and sound installation, in which a circuit designed by the artist is inserted into the sculpture made of aluminum, steel and other types of metal, producing shortwave or electrical sounds.
Byoungho Kim received his BFA at Hongik University and MFA at Chung-ang University. He has held numerous solo exhibitions including shows at Seoul Olympic Museum of Art and Touchart Gallery in 2010, and many group exhibitions, including one at Museum of Art at Seoul National University.
My artwork begins with an assumption that “mankind is in continuous pursuit of new desires.” All kinds of desires are exaggerated, minimized, and deleted in order to achieve a pre-established goal. And the more these desires gather together, the larger and more complicated the constructed being becomes. Thus, this is the constructed fantasy, a fantasy of desire, and a fantasy of our time

Installation Art by Tulio Pinto
Lives and works in Porto Alegre. Born in Brasilia. Has a degree in visual arts specializing in sculpture UFRGS (2009). Tulio is co-founder and member of the Atelier Subterrânea. From 2006 to 2015, Subterranea produced exhibitions, talkings, workshops, performances, book releases and video exhibitions that brought together artists and audiences.
Pinto’s sculptures play with that subtlety and challenge the viewers understanding of it. In his study of the balance between the delicate and the industrial, Pinto not only seemingly defies physics but also delves into human interaction, strength, and temperament.
