This needs to happen more than any other innovation on the planet. Essentially, this is a concept for a giant balloon cloud that people would travel on top of. Literally, walking on a cloud. I guess this could be filed in the “why hasn’t this been done yet?” category.

On a side note: thecreatorsproject.com is a magnificent site that does a terrific job at pimping geniuses.

This entry is more of a gateway to an artist who I find to be brilliant. Rona Pondick has continuously created works of art from her own head cast for nearly 15 years. While the featured image here is quite shmoove, i wouldn’t say her opus involves heavily shmoove works. Utilizing mostly metals such as steel, she creates haunting reproductions of her head attached in a surreal fashion to unlikely objects (such as trees). All up, she has a diverse smattering of things to observe and I highly suggest checking them out.

The sculptures and forms conjured by dadaist Jean Arp seem to code the DNA for most shmoove artwork. By throwing standard definitions of form out the window, he carried the dadaist ethos of toying with rationality making it a reality for any onlooker.

Sadly, upon doing a little rummaging around the web, the first thing you will probably run into is the infamous advertisement put out by Lynda Benglis in art forum. (Look it up. It’s NSFW funniness.)
Aside from her antics, there lies a polarized perspective on her actual aesthetic. Using a wide variety of materials from poured latex to poured glass, a majority of her work fits a shmoove look, and makes one want to shmoosh it.
At the New Museum’s retrospective which wrapped last June.
