The Art of Clean Up

I am completely fascinated by The Art of Clean Up: Sorting and Stacking Everyday Objects, by Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli.

Under what rock do I live? Why did I miss his TED talk?

  1. If you’re still ok with Swiss German I’d recommend his Appearance at Giaccobo Müller last March.

    It starts at 18:30 and is much better in my opinion – he seemed to be very nervous at the Ted talk and his breathing annoyed me. Much is still the same but he also presents some new cleaned up works.

    I wish I had some of that “Swiss/Neat/Clean Gene.”
    I suffer terribly from Dis-feng shui.

  3. I love this. You posted this when at this point in my life I find myself looking at areas and objects around me mentally organizing them. Thank you!
