Here's a photo of Iggy Pop posing naked for a life drawing class at the New York Academy of Art. Twenty-one artists, from all walks of life, took part in the project, with the resulting portraits of the punk rock icon set to debut at the Brooklyn Museum this fall. Stripping off and baring all is for many not exactly a comfortable experience. But this is Iggy, and after years of exhibitionism, his junk has finally been recognized as a work of art.
In the courtyard of London's Victoria & Albert Museum stands the Elytra Filament Pavilion , a massive glass and carbon fiber canopy fabricated by robots. It is inspired by the fibrous structures of flying beetles and will be open until November in the John Madejski Garden. The futuristic shelter is the brainchild of experimental architect Achim Menges, along with collaborators Moritz Dörstelmann, Jan Knippers and Thomas Auer. While the structure currently measures 200 square meters in size, it will gradually grow bigger overtime, depending on how visitors interact with it.
