Ceci n'est pas du papier-toilette.
Papier hygiene indestructible de Rafael Rozendaal.

So you know social housing projects, preferrably from the 60s? Their huge, their massive but you don't know what to do with them? Take a look at modern Arty-farty Tom Sachs!!!
Your 20 storage housing machine does not have to be that fancy and it mustn't be built by le Corbusier. Measure it (I don't believe that snippet: there are construction plans, nice idea though) get yourself a lot of paper and take a few weeks off. Voila you've got your super stylish art project going on and any art-gourmand will snatch your buildings away from your fancy-shmancy Berlin-Mitte art galleries.
Nice work by Sachs. Probably the only I like so far.

Hyungkoo Lee does creepy comic installlations.
I can't help it but I really like it, since it draws in western comic characters like donald duck etc. and twists it into a different direction. Combining elements of innocence and childhood and kicking them out of order with rather adulty themes - in this case death - is something I'd consider typically asian... artwise. In this case I even love it cause it exceeds the rather simple construction. It's humerous, pseudo-scientific, inherits cultural connotations from an unusual point of view and is just beautiful in it's simplicity.

Front Design, got to love what they're doing.

Wer rein zufällig in Helsinki sein sollte oder es bald vorhat darf diese Ausstellung und Seminarreihe nicht an sich vorbeiziehen lassen. Die graduierten Masters dieses Jahres der Kunst- und Designuniversität Helsinki stellen aus (noch nicht gesehen) und werden mal von echt guten Vorträgen begleitet (zu spät gekommen, trotzdem für gut befunden). Leider werden nicht alle Vorträge auf Englisch abgehalten werden können.
Edit: Da geht man blauaeugig in einen Grillabend und was liegt da auf dem Grill? Feist grinst mich eine pralle, triefende Thueringer an, auf die Schulter klopt ein bekanntes Gesicht und es wird deutsch zugeprostet. Weimar ist ueberall!

Hervé Graumann has a really creepy site but his work though... He does Patterns, real Patterns. Little arrangements of objects producing a regular, rythmic appearance. You might see that everyday but this goes a step further.
