It seems that in the herd of creative lambs, created by the hands of master sculptors, there is a replenishment. More recently, we talked about sculpted lambs from Colin's Creatures made of ceramics, and now new curly cloven-hoofed animals have appeared on the "pasture". But this time they are made of telephone wires, and the main "shepherd" is Jean-Luc Cornec.
It is very symbolic that these telephone lambs with sheep are on display at the Museum of Communications in Frankfurt. They belong in the museum, because telephones with such wires have long become a rarity, as, in fact, will soon happen with all stationary devices.
By the way, the unusual exhibition is accompanied by another, but already philosophical, idea. Humanity is developing, progress does not stand still, new technologies appear, on the basis of which hundreds and even thousands of new projects arise with a prospect for the future. Landline phones were replaced by portable, and then mobile. 3G communication is becoming more and more popular … But the rams, as they nibbled grass a hundred years ago, continue to do it today.
Nothing new. So they will get along very well with old disc machines, Jean-Luc Cornec subtly noted in his art project.

Pictures from multi-colored wires. Contectado Art Project by Federico Uribe
Experimental artist Federico Uribe, whose surreal paintings from shoe laces and sculptures from colored pencils have already been heard by the readers of Culturology, has invented yet another non-standard way of drawing. Now he decided to use old cables and wires in a multi-colored sheath and the most ordinary office scissors instead of paints and brushes. The artist named his new art project "Contectado"
Sculptures twisted from wires. The work of Barbara Licha
Like a spider's web, in which small moths and midges get entangled and perish, people are pulled in by a web of wires that are spread out where household or office equipment stands. At work and at home, we flounder in wires from computers, scanners, printers, microwaves and washing machines, chargers for phones and cameras … And the artist and sculptor Barbara Licha prefers to twist wires on her own, creating amazing sculptures from them
Sculptures from old telephone directories by Long-Bin Chen
What is the fate of the old telephone directories? Someone throws them away immediately after buying new, more relevant ones. Someone does not understand why they continue to keep them on their shelves. But the sculptor Long-Bin Chen creates rather unusual sculptures from this printed matter
