A rtist Ok Jeong Lee’s new show, Song of the Sea, features an array of installations of fish and jellyfish made with used CDs and plastic covers that otherwise, she fears, might have found their way into a turtle’s tummy. “I read reports about whales dying because of plastic covers getting wound in their digestive tracts, and a decrease in the jellyfish population because of an imbalance in the ecosystem,” says Jeong, in a concerned voice, while taking careful steps through a jungle of junk — rolls of plastic covers, broken CDs, and bags made of discarded tent sheets — at the gallery, InKo Centre. Slowly, she mounts her works — jellyfish lamps made with crocheted plastic covers, and small and large fish made out of CDs, cut to form shiny scales — on the walls. “Back in the day, when I was a kid, we used to have fresh fish every day without worrying about the quality. Now, we have to constantly think if we are consuming polluted food,” adds the artist, who is the founder of OK … [Read more...] about Message in a fish

Ukraine has said a bridge connecting Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea will be dismantled, "voluntarily or not." The Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, is a pair of two bridges, one road and the other rail, connecting the Kerch Peninsula in Crimea to mainland Russia. Stretching 11.8 miles they are the longest bridges in Europe, and the longest bridges Russia has ever constructed.

"It … [Read more...] about Why Putin’s bridge has become Ukraine’s top target
