Thomas Dambo’s Trolls are in town! The “TROLLS: Save the Humans” exhibition at the Memphis Botanic Gardens features six of these larger-than-life sculptures displayed throughout the grounds. They are made entirely of recycled materials.
The trolls “made a pact to band together and help save the humans by rediscovering nature and teaching us how to live in harmony with the earth.”

"I’m delighted to have made an empty plinth that isn’t empty, where the exhibit itself is merely invisible."
(David Hensel 2006)
A British artist sends a sculpture to an internationally prestigious and open art exhibition. However, what the selectors actually accept for exhibition is not the jesmonite laughing head, but its slate plinth and bone-shaped wooden rest which had been accidentally separated from the sculpture during handling. The head, One Day Closer to Paradise, 2006 (Figure 1, p. 2), was duly returned to the bemused sculptor.
Rui Sasaki employs glass to document and preserve the nature of the present.
