Peter Zimmermann flooded the Freiburg museum with glossy pools of resin.

“The museum’s floor becomes a canvas for colorful and glossy pools of resin that cover nearly 425 square meters, weaving through the rooms as abstract, fluid shapes. visitors are invited to participate and activate the work by simply sitting, standing or walking through the vast and dreamy expanse. the spacial relationship between the epoxy floor piece and a new series of oil paintings — shown for the first time in this grouping — forms the centerpiece of the show.”

Liftoff!

We’ve been working hard on Forekast for some time now and we’re really excited to get it out there! We think this could be a pretty great community and we hope you’ll join us…

As you may know, we started this project for two simple reasons:
1) There’s a ton of really cool things happening every day, and
2) We almost never hear about them until it’s too late.

We hope to solve that problem by building a community of people who post and rank the most exciting upcoming events. We’ll be focusing mainly on events that everyone can watch, participate in, or experience, regardless of location, with local events as a possibility for the future. 

So let’s get started!

If you’re interested in learning more about the way Forekast works, you can check out our About and FAQ pages.

Also, you can get event alerts by subscribing to us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, or let’s chat: hello@forekast.com

The Simpsons + Mondrian + Wine 

“Wine, or maybe not? is a playful, minimalist wine bottle design project that will bring a smile to your face. Inspired by the style of famous Dutch painter Pieter Mondrian, the collaborative project was developed by Russian artist Constantin Bolimond and Dmitry Patsukevich in 1987, the same year The Simpsons first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show. And, the contents of the bottle have remained a mystery ever since.”
