Copenhagen’s waterfront sculpture, The Little Mermaid, is to be moved from Denmark to China. Edvard Eriksen’s sculpture was based on the Hans Christian Andersen story and one of Copenhagen’s principal tourist attractions. It has been proposed to be the centerpiece of the Danish Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai. This proposal was made by Copenhagen-based architects who won a competition to design the pavilion.

In the middle of a cypress forest at Presidio National Park in San Francisco, Andy Goldsworthy has constructed a 100-ft spire out of logs from that forest. The Monterey cypress trees were felled as part of a reforestation project- Presidio Trust officials plan to plant 25,000 trees on the 150 acre land over 30 years. This project is slightly more monumental in scale than much of Goldsworthy's work, but the intention is no less organic. He hopes that as the new forest grows around the towering spires, they will fade into the trees, becoming part of the landscape. The artist plans to erect 3 spires total. Join discussion...

The National Portrait Gallery in London endeavors to purchase the newest work of Marc Quinn for a lofty £200,000. The work, a "blood portrait," is composed of 10 pints of the artist's blood, cast into the shape of his head and frozen. Quinn creates a new version every five years, which he claims is the most frequently his body can produce enough blood for the task. He plans on having the final version created after his death, with blood drained from his body. Join discussion...
