bugged
Nine locust sculptures crafted by artist Mitsuhiro Okamoto from fake designer bags, were removed from the Kobe Fashion Museum after Louis Vuitton complained the art violated its trademark.
The sculptures, which measure about 40 cm long, are titled “Batta Mon” — a play on the words batta (“locust”) and battamon (slang for “knockoff”). According to the artist, the works are meant to raise questions about the relationship between authenticity and imitation in a consumer-driven society.

Modernism 101
The Fountainhead (1949) is one of very few—if not the only—film that is actually about architecture. It’s based on the best-seller book by Ayn Rand.
The story follows the struggles of Howard Roark (Gary Cooper), a young architect who follows his own artistic path in the face of conformity and mediocrity. Therefore he is expelled from college, thrown out of jobs and finally ends up becoming a construction worker, building the conformist buildings that the customers chose instead of his…! A real Modernist has to go through hell to win recognition…
A common speculation is that Howard Roark’s character was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
