We were pleased to receive a submission yesterday from sound installation artist Craig Colorusso regarding his piece entitled “Sun Boxes.” As described on his site, “Sun Boxes are an environment to enter and exit at will. It’s comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels. There is a different loop set to play a guitar note in each box continuously. These guitar notes collectively make a Bb chord. Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time. The sounds of Sun Boxes have been described as both soothing and energizing. A unique combination of adjectives often used to describe yoga, or meditation. When experiencing the piece, Sun Boxes allows the participant to slow down, and notice the subtleties of the composition unfold. With the abundance of technology and hustle of this culture it is a much needed concept to not only be allowed, but also encouraged to slow down.”
Craig Colorusso’s Sun Boxes will be part of the 11th annual Sculpture at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA on three Saturdays: September 18, September 25 and October 2.
Thanks for the submission Craig.

Well, after much experimenting, some hair-loss and multiple database reprogrammings, the Idea Foundation is back up and running. So for all of you who RSS the site or follow by other means, the new streamlined URL is (are you ready for this one?) www.theideafoundation.com. (not http://www.theideafoundation.com/site) Can you believe it? All that work and stress for a removal of /site! In the long run we felt it would, make access easier, benefit the future followers and spread of the site and in general help increase viewer-ship. Anyways, we truly hope this isn’t an inconvenience for anyone. Thank you loyal T.I.F. followers. Keep on reading and please inform and share the new address.
All the best,
The Idea Foundation staff
P.S. Please comment should you feel the desire to express your thoughts our brief loss and happy return.
British music and fashion photographer Mads Perch dropped us a line with a link to his work and we’re humbled he did. He snaps images of mostly musicians, but what images they are. We’ll let you discover the artists that have graced his lens here.
It may be a bit above us to say so, but after stumbling across the photography of Los Angeles-based artist John Divola, we can’t help but be overwhelmed at how “ahead-of-his-time” his work is. Working since the early 1970′s on up to present day, John’s work is original, conceptual and more relavant than ever before.
Kiwi artist Mark Alsweiler, who bides his time in Sydney, Australia creates some delightfully illustrative work with an attractive folk/craft style and story line.
An artist who also explores the structures and presence of the architecture of nature is UK-based Jack Gregory. His drawings, collage and photographs excavate and display the monumental qualities of this world’s indigenous structures.
These are the stunning photos of from Danish shutterbug Kim Holtermand. Focusing (no pun intended) on architecture and structures of nature, the images in their golden-silver-ish and patina hues are auspicious and exude a cooling silence.
The mixed media paintings of Vancouver artist Russell Leng caught our Monday eye. His work explores the relationship between constructed and natural terrains and space and how they may be navigated.
This is just a blink of the work from artist/photographer Jason Lazarus. From photographic processes with human ashes to motivation posters with Otis Redding to documenting early experiences with Nirvana’s Nevermind, his work pushes contextual artistic boundaries.
