Twin brothers Doug and Mike Starn, united in a creative team with the expected name of Starn Brothers, brought to Jerusalem the spatial composition Big Bambu, which has already become a kind of hallmark of the tandem. The official opening of the installation took place on June 16 this year.
The collapsible design of the Big Bambu has already impressed the residents of New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Rome (Macro Museum of Contemporary Art) and Venice (Venice Biennale 2011). The fourth city, which provided a site for the monumental creation of the Starn brothers, was the capital of Israel.
The Big Bambu's 16-meter design is impressive. The area of the entire plant is more than seven hundred square meters. The installation required about ten thousand bamboo sticks, which were tied with extra strong ropes during the assembly process. It took a month to erect the bamboo giant, some of the installation work was carried out by a team of professional climbers.
“The Big Bambu concept has nothing to do with bamboo,” explains Mike Starn, one of the project's masterminds. "This is the architecture of life, the random dependence of moments, intersecting trajectories, where action becomes interaction, where growth occurs and change begins." “This is a philosophical engineering art, a demonstration of chaotic interdependencies,” adds his brother Doug Starn.
Brothers Doug and Mike Starn were born and raised in New Jersey. Both graduated from the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Until 1989, the Starn brothers lived in Boston, then moved to New York for good. At one point, the Starn Brothers tandem owned a studio in Brooklyn. Their current studio is in Beacon, New York.
Another large-scale outdoor installation was conceived and implemented by designers from the creative association Eboach. Driven by the desire to make a fetish out of a chair, an architectural event, an installation, the tandem of Yon Ju Lee and Brian Brush turned the ossified perception of this object upside down.

Recall that 17 years ago, the Japanese company SP International bought the rights to the cult Soviet cartoon from our Soyuzmultfilm until 2023. And it was in the country of samurai, and not in our country, that the continuation of the story about the beloved Soviet cartoon heroes came out 10 years ago. Yesterday, in honor of the anniversary of this event, the Japanese presented the premiere of new
