“Using just colored sand, artist Joe Mangrum beautifies streets and museum floors in major US cities. What’s most amazing is that this artist comes up with his highly detailed, often symmetrical pieces without any advance planning. Instead, every design is improvised by “the inspiration that comes from the day.” This week, Mangrum will be part of SOFA New York’s show called Swept Away, where he will create his signature works in sand. The exhibition sounds particularly interesting because it deals with live, site-specific installations made of ash, dust, sand and dirt.”

Working freelance at the dynamic and creative Casey Vidalenc Fashion House in Paris, he discovered string as a creative material, first sewing on clothes, then sewing on his own drawn and photographic work.  The strings ended-up flying off the support and began filling rooms.  And there, miles and miles of string and hours of labor going up and down ladders later, they form spheres, cones, intersecting wing shapes, or gothic arches, layers upon layers like three dimensional architectural drawings.  In mind-boggling intricacy, the straight lines of taut strings sculpt floating forms.  The thread is thin enough to not be easily seen, but the mass of repeated lines, though weightless and ephemeral, creates form.  The effect is heightened by moving around the various forms, letting their myriad of lines cross and recross in never repeating patterns.
