The Commemorative Collection of Aesthetic Ideologies 4 These artworks were created during a time period of 8 months, with vision, planning, meticulously structuring and careful execution. „I am interested in the constantly evolving hierarchies of objects, styles and cultural worth. My work engages in dialogues about display and value alongside narratives of possession, ownership and cultural desire. My work seeks to respond to these narratives mainly through constructed spaces using models, miniature dioramas and computer-generated virtual interiors and objects. In both private and public spaces, display functions to denote hierarchy and worth. From the private universe of the collector, to contemporary examples of the concept of Gesamtkuntwerk, my work experiments with these constantly evolving hierarchies of objects, and the way in which objects, artefacts and art are commodified and fetishised. The theme of decontextualisation is central to my work and I am particularly concerned with the way in which objects are represented in fragmentary ways, removed from their original context through classification systems, digital reproduction, appropriation, miniaturisation and displacement. Related themes include the idea of value and authenticity; copies, and reproduction; cross pollination of modernist art and decorative forms; the role of collecting (both private and institutional), and the tools of display including the plinth, framing, and the gallery itself. Much of my early work (‘Deconstruction Construction Manual’, ‘Plaster Casts’, and ‘Museum’) was concerned with the idea of authenticity and representation. These works presented models including the plinth, the plaster cast, the vitrine and the miniature as a way to call into question the role of imitation and engender a dialogue about the way in which substitution effects narrative as well as concepts of value and authenticity. These themes were later expanded through a series of virtual rooms that included digital reconstructions of interiors that no longer exist and collections that have long since been dispersed (‘Horace Walpole’s Paper House’, ‘Goncourt’s Junk Collection’, ‘Sir John Soane’s Model Room’ and ‘Andre Breton’s Collectors House’). Initially influenced by the Novel ‘Against the Grain (A Rebours)’, in which JK Huysmans describes how the main character employs his collection to stimulate his imagination towards creating an ideal private universe or dreamworld, this series of works focused on how individual collectors use their collections and the private space of the interior to create what is essentially an ideal and illusionary universe. These simulacrums of lost and idealised worlds investigated both the artificiality of value and served as a retort to the artificiality of narratives told in the context of display.” Keith Turner Fine artist, concept: Keith Turner https://lnkd.in/e5fCgrGF 3d artist: Laszlo Ary https://lnkd.in/dGTXcFS3

Being and Nothingness A discourse on identity New works by Nathan Yong in limited edition. Exhibition date: 3/10/24-16/10/24. Artcommune Gallery. Supported by National Arts Council Singapore. Being and Nothingness presents 11 new stainless steel works by artist-designer Nathan Yong. In introducing the works in an art gallery setting as numbered “articles”, and as “a discourse on identity”, Yong makes his creative intentions clear: these 11 objects are designed as art. This is Yong’s exploration of the liminal space where design and art overlap, where considerations for conceiving, shaping, interpreting, and appreciating work lay upon one another to merge: form and function come into symbolic meaning, the choice of material transforms into a medium of communication, solutions engender questions, and comfort (a premise of furniture) negotiates discomfort (a premise of art). The works are singularly made of stainless steel—of the Singaporean kind that is shiny and urban. Yong muses on the physical and connotative attributes of this vernacular, using it as material to launch into a discourse on collective and individual identities. He notices the way stainless steel is used everywhere and throughout the city, from train stations and walkways to public restrooms and hawker stalls. He observes its qualities of shininess, cleanliness, and efficiency. Extending his thinking from the literal to the figurative, Yong reflects on the nature of strength and rigidity, surface appearances and interior emptiness, standards and homogenisation, ubiquity and inconspicuity: “It occurred to me that most of us Singaporeans are like stainless steel. We are clean, efficient, easy to maintain, and able to gel with our surroundings…We are a society that modernised at fast speed. Efficiency and order lead to standardisation. I feel that there is a loss of individualism for the collective good of progress, some loss of individuality, of character, of beliefs, of nuances, of vulnerability…” The objects can be looked at all around: from the side, back, top, and even through their open ends. They are honest exposés. Hollowness is in open view. Their making and forming are plain to see: flat metal sheets rolled up to form pipe-like tubes, what is flat gains dimensions—2D becoming 3D, raw sheet material becoming constructions, plane surfaces and abstract shapes becoming—not objects or structures—but “this thing that looks like a chair”, as Yong puts it. In making “this thing that looks like a chair”, Yong defies expectations: the familiar is made strange, the everyday object becomes a subject of interest. Finally, playing off the mirror quality of stainless steel, Yong proposes yet another way of seeing: in reflection or self-reflection. Perhaps these 11 design-art peculiars, freed from being pipe or railing, and nothing like the typical screen or chair, are something to identify with? - Yvonne Xu.

Mingei’s starting point is opposite, in my view, to branded design. They are practical, affordable, beautiful and durable. Some ends up becoming a brand, like Soetsu Yanagi. Mingei, an extraordinary art that celebrates the ordinary https://on.ft.com/3TNtWl5

Here are three rules to follow when hanging artwork to make it more appealing to the eye. 1) Hanging art roughly 6-8 inches above furniture. The goal is to make it feel connected to the object(s) below it. 2) When hanging artwork on an empty wall, the center of the art should hang approximately 57-60" from the floor. Or if you’re average height, an easier way to measure is to hang it at eye level. 3) If you’re pairing more than one frame, hang them 3-4" apart. Keeping the frames close helps people see all the art as one unit. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your artwork makes the maximum impact, enhancing your living space aesthetically and effectively! #realtor #realtorespañol #realtorespanol #realtorspanish #ncrealtor #agentedebienesraises #Realtorlife #realtors #realtorslife #realtorproblems #realtorsellmyhouse #realtorlifestyle #realtormom #realtorsofig #realtorsofinstagram #realtorwork #RealtorHumor #realtoring #realtorforlife #realtorfamily #realtorswag #realtorcommunity #realtorsrock #RealtorDotCom #realtorchick #realtorgifts #realtormarketing #Realtorhelp #Realtorbuyer #RealtorBOSS #realtortexas #realtortips #realtor4life #realtorpartners #realtoronduty #realestate #realestateagent #RealEstateInvestor #realestatelife #realestateinvesting #realestatephotography #RealEstateBroker #realestatemarketing #realestateagents #realestatesales #realestateforsale #realestateexperts #realestateinvestment #Realestatemiami #realestatephotographer #realestateinvestors #realestatenews #realestatedevelopment #RealEstateTips #realestateagency #realestategoals #realestatemarket #realestatedeveloper #realestatephotos #realestatephoto #RealEstatenyc #realestateexpert #realestateteam #realestatebrokers #RealEstateLifeStyle #houseforsale #houseforsalehickory #houseforsalebeaches #houseforsaletoday #houseforsaledavie #houseforsaleinnc #houseforsaleinconover #houseforsaleinnewton #houseforsalenewton #houseforsalemaiden #houseforsale #casas #propiedad #house #condominio #bienesraices #comprayventa #inversion #usa #casaenhickory #casaencarolinadelnorte #findyourproperty #luxury #realstateinvest

Andrew Maerkle picks a remarkable collaboration: an American institution, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, sponsors an exhibition by a Chinese artist, Zeng Fanzhi, in collaboration with a Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, at a centuries-old Venetian building, the Scuola Grande della Misericordia. "... ANDO: Zeng picked an excellent site. The building dates back to some 500 years ago. I wanted to create an exhibition design that inherits that world from 500 years ago and extends it 500 years into the future, so that people will remember it even then. I wanted to make something no one has ever seen before. I wanted to express the profound depth of Zeng’s worldview. Visitors will be able to feel that depth as they see how light, shadow, and time merge in the space. It will be a place for spiritual reflection. Obviously there will be huge crowds in Venice, but, to be honest, if I had my way no more than 20 or 30 people would be allowed in at any time. ZENG: Your plan for the main hall on the ground level reminds me of the multiperspectival spatial composition of a Chinese landscape painting. It’s like we’re looking from one side of a river to the other, and the play of light and shadow on the floor evokes the movement of the water, while my large painting at the end of the hall is like a mountain in the far distance, and the intervening space is empty. Then, on the upper level, your deployment of free-standing partitions aligned on an axis of progressively larger apertures evokes the perspectival composition of Western painting, with everything organized structurally around a single vantage point. Your design achieves a synthesis of Eastern and Western philosophies of painting, all presented through architecture. It inspired me as I worked on the paintings for the exhibition. ANDO: I look at Zeng’s paintings and then come up with ideas in response. It’s important for architects to look closely at an artist’s work and really understand it. ZENG: We exchange ideas without language, through visual thinking. I often spend days looking at Ando’s renderings until I have a good feel for them. It’s similar to when I make a work on paper. I always use richly textured handmade paper. I can spend days looking at a sheet of paper before I get out my brush, because the paper in a sense tells me what to paint. Usually Ando’s first design is already amazing and then it’s just a matter of fine-tuning. As a painter, I really respond to Ando’s use of negative space. He has an innate sense of space and light that simply can’t be taught. It’s genius. ANDO: About a decade ago I underwent major surgery to remove five of my internal organs. It’s a miracle I’m still alive. I’m sure you will go on making great exhibitions, but I want you to keep working hard to create a world where art can lead the way to peace. ..." https://lnkd.in/ehHjxV2b

Make sure to reserve the next exhibition @fred&ferry in your diary: '𝐏𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬' with: 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐂𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨 𝐄𝐮𝐧, 𝐋𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐱, 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐤𝐤𝐚 𝐋ö𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐫, 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐣𝐭, 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐲𝐧𝐬, 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐮𝐱, 𝐂é𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐡𝐬𝐞𝐧. 𝟏𝟗 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 - 𝟏𝟔 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟏𝟗 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟒:𝟎𝟎 - 𝟏𝟗:𝟎𝟎 The title of this exhibition, 'Paved Flowers', refers to the very first work Liesbeth Henderickx made for the gallery, then still under the care of Marion De Cannière. This work reinterpreted a street scene; it consisted of a sculptural intervention in which a symbiosis took place between two entities that usually meet in that place. The organically growing between the industrially manufactured. The encounter was shaped with the intimacy characteristic of an interior design. For this group exhibition, Liesbeth Henderickx, in consultation with FRED&FERRY, invited a number of artists and selected specific works that present natural elements or processes guided by the human hand. The selected artists work with a reinterpretation of the natural landscape or elements from it, bringing them to life in a personal way in their work. They create new forms of liveliness, often closely linked to their own desires or body. In some works, beauty comes from bringing lifeless matter to life. Although not all works refer directly to living matter, they still carry qualities of anima, or have emerged from a process of material growth.
