Henrique Oliveira’s
Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira's “tridimensionals” installations will be exhibited at the Rice Gallery in Houston, Texas between March 26th and May 9th, 2009.
From the Rice Gallery:
Oliveira uses tapumes, which in Portuguese can mean “fencing,” “boarding,” or “enclosure,” as a title for many of his large-scale installations. The term makes reference to the temporary wooden construction fences seen throughout the city of São Paulo where Oliveira lives. It also refers to the weathered wood Oliveira uses as the primary material in his installations.

eyjafjallajoekull volcano
Spectacular pictures have been captured of a lightning display over Iceland's Eyjafjallajoekull volcano which continues to erupt.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been stranded across the globe as a result of the eruption which has shut down the airspace across Europe for the fifth day in a row.
More than 25,000 flights have so far been grounded in what has been billed as the single biggest aviation incident since the Second World War.
