The museum of extraordinary objects

"Piecemeal bodies sit in high-tech chairs, with nightmarishly inappropriate heads staring at you. It sounds like the laboratory of a mad scientist, but Berlin's Museum for Extraordinary Objects is actually a playground full of jumbles of bizarre found art. The Designpanoptikum, aka the Museum For Extraordinary Objects is the work of Russian-born artist Vlad Korneev, who collected these objects as props for his photographic works. The unifying theme of these weird object is the fact that their outward appearance was determined by function rather than form."

RE/search

"RE/Search grew out of Search & Destroy, which Jello Biafra, Dead Kennedys founder, called “the best punk rock publication, ever. It combined art and photography with in-depth interviews and articles.” Every RE/Search book continues the Punk Rock Cultural Revolution, but strives to provide permanent inspiration to artists/cultural scientists of the future, providing careful editing, reference sections, photos, art and anthropological history."
