MARU: EMERGING VOLUMETRIC PERFORMANCE ARTIST



"One of the most exciting artists to emerge from Japan is Maru, a prolific cross-disciplinary volumetric performance artist whose pieces have acquired him a cult following in recent months. Maru's pieces - shown exclusively by Mugumogu Gallery in Tokyo - are videos of performances, always staged in the same minimal, monochromatic apartment setting.



As in the seminal Big Box and Maru (above), the artist is primarily concerned with the exploration of enclosed volumes: boxes, paper bags, bath-tubs and water bowls. We sense a deep curiosity at work as Maru, dressed up as a cat of the Scottish Fold breed, negotiates and interrogates the volumes, often penetrating them and turning them into a sort of "portable architecture".

"Não fazia ideia é que ele é um artista"

"Um artista"... mais respeitinho: um "VOLUMETRIC PERFORMANCE ARTIST"!

Quanto vale tamanha obra de "arte"?
Deve valer muito para quem sofre de insônia.

The hold is one of numerous accessories that can be utilized on the
Canon 5D. The people today that invest in this camera, possibly
have an limitless price range, or are expert photographers.

According to Chung, the Nikon has the edge for detail
and for the addition of a crop mode while canon has the advantage for lack
of moire and high ISO performance.

Samsung galaxy s3 is
the latest version of Android, a whopping 4. Note 2 adopts the same cover material of Samsung
Galaxy S3 to make its rear cover, hence strengthening fashionable aesthetic feelings, but devoid of flexibility that Note has.

Impressive pages can now be created using interaction, animation and video streaming.
You can set up biometric face unlock in Settings ->
Security -> Screen lock. If there were dual cameras or a rear facing camera you could center things and get accurate photos.
