JUST KEEP SWIMMING

Jason de Caires Taylor 1

Hey everyone this is a fellow guest blogger Nancy Acevedo!

 

The underwater sculpture museum is something that is completely new to me. It’s fascinating how not only are they extremely beautiful, the sculptures are made out of ceo-frinedly material. At first I was a bit worried about that, having people create stuff and have them underwater where so many species live. I was thinking on the negative effect that this kind of art could potentially have. But after I found out that it “promotes coral reef growth”, I didn’t think it was so bad after all. Jason deCaire Taylor has truly created a phenomenon in my opinion; just imagine years from now, how interesting and amazing it will be for people to discover this exhibit.

Here is another video that shows more of the underwater art and how they look before they are put into the sea.

Underwater Sclupture Jason deCaires Taylor (Part 3)

More than 400 of the permanent sculptures have been installed in recent months in the National Marine Park of Cancún, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc as part of a major artwork called “The Silent Evolution.” The installation is the first endeavor of a new underwater museum called MUSA,

Created by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, the Caribbean installation is intended to eventually cover more than 4,520 square feet , which would make it possibly one of the largest underwater attractions in the world.

In doing so, Taylor hopes the reefs, which are already stressed by marine pollution, warming waters, and overfishing, can catch a break from the approximately 750,000 tourists who visit local reefs each year.This puts a lot of pressure on the existing reefs, so part of this project is to actually discharge those people away from the natural reefs and bring them to an area of artificial reefs.

My Mission Statement

The purpose of my blog is to not only create a space but to also show case artwork from animators, photographers, illustrators and painters from all walks of life and culture. I will also be focusing primarily on the visual arts, though performance art will not be off limits. I would like to inspire, stimulate, entertain and also educate my readers. I simply love searching for new things.

I would like to connect or bridge the gap between the design studios and my readers. I enjoy being constantly well informed and I like to offer my point of view, always in a personal way. I will also be visiting art galleries and museums at least once a week and take photographs of the art works that captures my attentions. I hope to capture readers attentions and encourage dialogue and networking with my readers.. When possible I’ll be posting interviews and/or asking local artist to make a post of their own to add another perspective and broaden the discussion.

Finally, I would like this blog to be a place for open discussion. The name of my blog is “ 1 on 1 art blog” . I chose this name because it gives the reader a “ 1 on 1” tone when reading my blog as you would with a tutor, teacher or colleague.
