RP Field Trip- Red Peak takes Storm King
The whole RP team team piled into a one-of-a-kind party bus last Thursday morning for a day of art, awards, and all things fun at the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, NY.
ABANDONED TO ART GALLERY
In its heyday, Paris nightclub Les Bains-Douche played host to raucous parties with the likes of Kate Moss, Andy Warhol, and David Bowie but since the space was condemned due to structural insecurity in 2010 it has sat unused and blocked from the public. However in the past few months, a team of over 50 street artists and a group of photographers to document it all have breathed new life into the nightclub.
The former 19th century municipal bathhouse is scheduled to be demolished in several days but in the meantime the Magda Danysz Gallery has curated “Un Jour, Un Artiste”, treating the building as a temporary art gallery. Check out the blog here for daily photos and artist write-ups (in French of course).

3D Doodles
Wobbleworks has taken to Kickstarter to raise funds for the world’s first 3D printing pen. The pledge page has already far surpassed it’s initial goal and promises the cheapest and easiest 3D printing available. The Boston-based firm has also collaborated with several Etsy wire artists to show the artistic merit of the handheld device. As 3D printing continues to expand and become more accessible, expect to see a burst of like-minded devices available for both home and office use.

For a morning pick-me-up, Tokyo-based artist Tomoko Shintani relied on her daily cup of joe and some early bird doodles. With the rise of Instagram she took her works to the web and soon was all over the internet with reblogs, comments, shares, and more. The doodles, usually taking around 30 minutes to an hour, always incorporate the Starbucks cup in an unbreaking pattern and most often feature whimsical children and animals.

The greater the symmetry the more beautiful the face says scientific theory. Artist Julian Wolkenstein has challenged the idea- taking portraits, halving them down the middle, and creating two entirely symmetrical faces derived from the same one person.
As evidenced above, some look very similar while others are strikingly different. Those curious about their alter(ed) egos can download the Echoism app where Julian has collected over 40,000 symmetrical sets since the launch.
