The Exchange by Ben Blanc
Pete Oyler sent me some info about a most interesting exhibition he recently saw. Called The Exchange by Ben Blanc, the installation consists of 200 handmade and sequentially numbered black-dyed objects made of Douglas Fir. Inside of one object is a 20.06-gram river washed Alaskan Gold nugget recovered from the Nome area in 2011.
“Eb” by Studio Maarten Kolk & Guus Kusters
Brussels gallery Kavan Ronsey is exhibiting the works of Maarten Kolk & Guus Kusters, an artistic team from The Netherlands. The exhibition is entitled Eb (“low tide”) and is about the aesthetics of natural water and its traces in the landscape. Elements of raw nature of the Dutch Wadden Sea area are “trapped” in various items, including ceramics, organic fabrics and polyester panels.
Denmark by Design Exhibit at the Danish Design Center
While in Copenhagen last year, we had a chance to stop off at the Danish Design Center to see Denmark by Design. The exhibit shows the development in Danish design from 1945 to 2010, with iconic pieces popular in the homes, workplaces and public arena from the time it was introduced to today.
Daniel Arsham Exhibit at OHWOW
Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Arsham‘s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, the fall, the ball, and the wall, will be on view at OHWOW Gallery, January 20th through February 16, 2012. The show will feature two- and three-dimensional works.
CMYK Lamp by Dennis Parren
Dutch designer Dennis Parren created the CMYK Lamp for his graduation show from Design Academy Eindhoven. The innovative design uses LED technology to project cyan, magenta, and yellow onto the ceiling and walls. The lamp is shaped like a graphic outline and casts 3D shadows which he discovered only by accident. The experimental lamp sets out to display the mystery of light and what it can be.
Thank You Brenda
Thank You Brenda is a design project started by Joel Burns that makes custom printed canvases and acrylic paint. The project came from Burns’ interest in combining the approaches of art and fashion to making paintings that are attainable to a more expansive audience, one that perhaps could not afford it before. With Burns’ experience, it allowed them “to avoid the common tropes of anti-art while making something that legitimately stands on its own as a good product.”
Danish Design—I Like It! by Jasper Morrison
When Christian Holmsted Olesen, curator at the Design Museum Denmark, first approached Jasper Morrison about participating in an exhibit, showcasing the esteemed designer’s work was what he had in mind. Morrison, however, countered with an altogether different proposal: that he curate a collection featuring Danish designs he loved, that he would hand pick from the museum’s 20th-century holdings. Thus was born Danish Design—I Like It!
Open The Tower Exhibition
Eurohigh design studio, in collaboration with KRADS, created the Open The Tower exhibit with the support of LEGO and Arup. Open The Tower features 676 LEGO models of skyscrapers in the scale of 1:1000, in a grid formation of 26 repeated structures in a linear fashion.
