Bear in Heaven vs. Baggage Claim

Via Bear in Heaven: On April 18, 2010, Bear in Heaven was stranded in the Madrid airport. The "Dust Cloud" from volcano Eyjafjallajokull sent us to baggage claim... instead of Majorca. Out of pure and unbreakable boredom we put a camera on a baggage claim belt. Two hours later we got our instruments out of baggage jail and travelled 54 hours to London. Enjoy.

Mekanism Skateboards once again impresses, having worked for their second 2009 project with Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The artist is well known for his large exhibition structures and most recently for the impressive sun artwork. With Mekanism the artist of course worked on skateboard decks. The “Your Mercury Ocean” decks have a silver reflective upper and for the first time the artist also reworked the upper structure of the board into a 3D structure. The various levels on the board, give the impression of a wave pattern. The artist worked on overall 90 skatedecks, as well as 10 artist proofs and 10 exhibition pieces. Without a doubt this has to be the most impressive project by Mekanism to date.
