A very interesting article appeared recently in the <a href="http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/3eefc000-d53d-11e3-9bca-00144feabdc0.html#axzz31TSz8x2d">Financial Times (FT.com)</a>, about how in Moscow they are using the presence of pop-up art galleries and museums in building to enough "chic" to sell high end condos.<br />
<br />
Per the article, written by Gisela Williams:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"From the taxi, glowing in the Moscow skyline, there is a light in the darkness: the words Door 19 written large in neon on the top of a five-storey brick compound. At a two-building complex still under construction, visitors give their names to the first of two bulky doormen. Ushered into an elevator, they are taken to the top floor where they are confronted by a strange human-like sculpture with the face of a weasel. Eventually, they enter a sprawling industrial-style penthouse with stunning views of the city. The brick walls are covered in graffiti sprayed by one of the city’s best-known street artists, Zhenya Ozzik, and the room showcases an eclectic mix of industrial chandeliers and vintage furniture. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Over the past two months, many of Moscow’s oligarchs, art collectors and curious food lovers have filled this soaring loft to eat at Door 19, a pop-up dinner series. Each week a different pair of international star chefs, from Paco Morales to Sebastian Mazzola, took over the kitchen and served four courses each. Award-winning mixologists, many from London, served speciality cocktails. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Door 19 was not just a successful pop-up restaurant and the man behind the project is not a restaurateur but a real estate developer. Andrey Grinev owns the sprawling top-floor loft in which the temporary restaurant took place, a high-end apartment on the market for $25m."</blockquote>

The <a href="http://live.wsj.com/video/top-collectors-suffer-art-fair-fatigue/2F38EBD6-A466-42C4-97A5-2E3E8CF69FE2.html#!2F38EBD6-A466-42C4-97A5-2E3E8CF69FE2">WSJ</a> reports that art collectors are beginning to experience, "Art Fair Fatigue." This may sound a bit precious, but when art fairs and pop-up galleries not only coordinate so that there are 4-20 taking place in one week in a specific city, and then expand the concept internationally... well, there are only so many art buyers who can keep up this breakneck pace.<br />

<a href="http://refrigerators.reviewed.com/features/you-can-build-this-house-in-four-days-with-a-screwdriver?utm_source=usat&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=collab">Refrigerator.com</a> reports on a pop-up house you can build in four days with a screwdrivers. As wild as the claim may be, there has been a great deal of momentum in creating pre-fab homes, and pre-fab home modules. This trend has been covered and supported extensively by Dwell Magazine/<br />
<br />
In this case, the home, called Passivhaus ("Passive House") was designed by <a href="http://www.multipod-studio.com/" target="_blank">MultiPod Studio</a>. According to <a href="http://Refrigerator.com/">Refrigerator.com</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
The Marseille-based design firm has come up with a prototype called the <a href="http://www.popup-house.com/" target="_blank">Pop-Up House</a>—made out of wood, foam, and screws—that you can supposedly assemble with just a basic screw gun.<br />
<br />
According to the designers, the whole shebang should cost about €200 per square meter, or roughly $26 per square foot. Right now, the MultiPod website showcases two different styles of the Pop-Up House: a single-room, 70-square-meter rectangular cube and a 150-square-meter prototype with two wings (think bedrooms) on either side of a larger connecting room.<br />
<br />
Not only does this pop-up building have interesting potential as a home, or temporary shelter, but also as a pop-up restaurant, cafe, gallery or museum.<br />

Pop-up parks are changing the urban landscape.<br />
<br />
Per the <a href="http://articles.philly.com/2013-07-12/news/40538499_1_pop-up-beer-phs">Philly.com</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The hideaway in question is the latest addition to Philadelphia's growing collection of pop-up parks, an increasingly popular and low-cost way for cities to carve out green retreats amid the crowded hardscape desert. This one is brought to you by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and, to be honest, it's not really hidden. It's right there across from the Kimmel Center, between Spruce and Pine Streets. It just feels as if it were a world away.<br />You could similarly indulge your escapist fantasies at the Porch, alongside 30th Street Station; at the University City District's new Baltimore Avenue plaza; or at Eakins Oval. As of Thursday, the interior of that glorified traffic circle has been outfitted with Parisian-style cafe tables and christened, "The Oval."<br />But it is PHS's pop-up that will make you feel you've truly left the pressures of the city behind. That is due partly to the site - a vacant lot cradled between the pocked brick walls of two survivor buildings - partly to good design, partly to beer. OK, beer is a big reason the pop-up is so irresistible.<br />PHS has assembled pop-up gardens on such vacant lots for the past two summers as a way to take its mission to the streets and put leftovers from its annual flower show to good use. Those installations were artful, but static.</blockquote>

The <a href="http://www.sfmcd.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">Museum of Craft and Design</a> (MCD) has announced its new pop-up exhibition at the Dogpatch Café and Gallery in San Francisco. <i>Charlotte Kruk – Eye Candy, </i>features wearable sculptures designed from discarded candy wrappers created by <a href="http://www.kruktart.com/" moz-do-not-send="true">Charlotte Kruk</a>,
who pulls the wrapper back on a culture known for comparing women,
particularly well-dressed women, as “eye candy.” The exhibition, curated
by Marc D’Estout, opens November 15, 2012 and continues through January
25, 2013. <o:p></o:p></div>

“This
exhibition is a perfect way to kick off the holiday season,” said JoAnn
Edwards, Executive Director of the Museum of Craft and Design. “Fashion
and candy are both seen in abundance at this time of year. To
experience both in a provocative new way is a guilty pleasure.” <o:p></o:p></div>

Kruk,
a San Jose-based artist, repurposes discarded wrappers as a palette for
transforming the inherent beauty of packaging with a wink toward
gluttony. “Eye Candy” features Kruk’s candy wrapper couture as a means
for offering commentary about the disposable, packaged nature of our
society. Her designs are crafted from a range of discarded candy
wrappings, cake mix boxes and other various materials that are used as
the primary palette. <o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
“The
exhibition is a fun and interesting exhibition that causes us to
rethink the innovative and creative ways we can reuse packaging,” said
Marc D’Estout, Curator of the Museum of Craft and Design. “It also
points up our cultural tendency to obsess about women’s outward
appearances.” <o:p></o:p></div>
