SHINOBU [perseverance] Art Show and Benefit
core.form-ula is curating Miya Ando’s first large-scale works show entitled Shinobu [perseverance] to open October 7 at the de Castallane gallery. Her show will be comprised of large scale steel wall works and her series of special edition hot-rolled steel skateboards created for Element. The Steel skateboards are an exact size/thickness replica of a traditional wood skateboard, hand finished with fire, acid, patina and automotive lacquer. Ando will also be showing a hot-rolled steel 36″ x 48″ x 72″ skateboard ramp/sculpture collaborative piece (created with Shelter Serra) which will be etched by muriatic acid-coated skateboard wheels ridden on the ramp. Finally, she will be creating and showing monotypes created as an interactive performance piece on the skate ramp. read more
Our friends at SOFTlab are producing an installation at the bridgegallery in the lower east side of Manhattan. For a month, starting August 26th, CHROMAtex.me will fill a small part of the world with one of their favorite things:COLOR! Please help them fill the installation with your support. They would love to see a name on every panel and have started a kickstarter page to try and help fund the project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/SOFTlab/chromatexme-a-site-specific-installation
Everyone who pledges will get there name laser etched onto a panel and we will send it to them when the installation comes down.
I wanted to feature Ernesto Neto a few years ago when I visited his exhibition at the Hayward Gallery because it touched on many ideas critical to design. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to see some of his installations…I hope this feature post brings you a little closer to the spaces he creates. Enjoy>
