It’s nothing more than crumpled paper. But it’s also shot and lit in a way that makes it so much more interesting.

Some poles, a messenger bag full of prepared cardboard pieces and lots of tape: Street Art Sculptures! Several uncommissioned public installations done by Clemens Behr in East Village, China Town, Soho and Brooklyn.

Giuseppe Randazzo generated these stones digitally and the arranged them by size. Hits a very beautiful spot between generated art, scultpure and nature. See more on his site.

Mr Maruyama throws water into the air and takes photos of it with extremely short shutter speeds. So simple, yet so beautiful.

These great compositions of geometric shapes and colors are mostly done by cutting and arranging rugged wood and other materials. That is why they have this distinctive 3D shape. See his website for more awesomeness.

Another awesome work of art is shown now at the famous turbine hall at the Tate Modern in London. Ai Weiwei poured over 100 million sunflower seeds into the enormous space. Not real seeds but replicas in porcelain, each single one made by hand! Not only is the number gigantic and the effort mind-blowing, it's also a beautiful, simple and poetic piece of sculpture. I wish I could go and see it live.

Sometimes the simple ideas are the most awesome: Artist Fiona Banner just took two military jets to the Tate Britain. One hung vertically, one lying on the back. The contrast between the artwork and its surrounding creates a lot of tension and in a weird way the huge objects become beautiful sculptures.

Fiona Banner has been working with the theme of war and the icon of the fighter jetplane in particular for a long time.

"I remember long sublime walks in the Welsh mountains with my father, when suddenly a fighter plane would rip through the sky, and shatter everything. It was so exciting, loud and overwhelming; it would literally take our breath away. The sound would arrive from nowhere, all you would see was a shadow and then the plane was gone.

At the time harrier jump jets were at the cutting edge of technology but to me they were like dinosaurs, prehistoric, from a time before words." – Fiona Banner

Richard Sweeney has some terribly beautiful pieces of sculpture on his website. He works with paper (!) and other materials and creates simple, abstract flowing three-dimensional pieces. I especially recommend the Somerset House piece above and his paper forms, more on his Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardsweeney/sets/72057594105588057/.>

Artist Peter Root made this gorgeous miniature cities from stacks of staples and then photographed them. The making-of video contains some sweet time-lapse shots. Also check the other works on his site, some great ideas there!
