Fasted by Studio Dessuant Bone

November 11, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Design, Portfolios, Sculpture, France, 2016

Studio Dessuant Bone is a multi-disciplinary design consultancy based in Paris, with our specialities in direction, design, product and interiors. Their conceptual series of tableware objects "Fasted" was presented last year at Salone Del Mobile 2015

“We have created a set of non functional tableware and focused on their representation, producing a drawing in volume made of blue metal wire. This dinner scene is framed by a brushed brass circle. ‘Fasted’ questions the links between objects surrounding us and their representation.”

Reality 2.0 by Dmitry Aske

October 18, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Russia, Portfolios, Art, 2016

Dmitri Aske had his first solo show in September — October, 2016 in Vladey Space Gallery, Moscow, Russia. The exhibition called Reality 2.0 included eight new artworks made in the artist's unique technique of a multilayer plywood relief especially for the show. All the works are dedicated to the digital era we are living in, now that the Internet takes up more and more of our time and attention becoming for many people the second reality. The addiction some people have might be even compared to a mother-child relationship. At the same time, as Marshall McLuhan wrote as far back as 1960s, people don't actually notice how new media entering our lives are gradually changing us.      

A person born before the 1990s sees video calls, a 'computer-in-your-pocket' phone, and a broadband Internet connection available almost everywhere as materialisation of the future. Meanwhile, the new generation takes all that for granted as a beginning of a new era. In his new body of work, Dmitri Aske reflects our time suggesting that the viewers should contemplate how much all of us are absorbed by Reality 2.0.

"Fixed It" Portraits series by Henrietta Harris

October 17, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, New Zealand, Portfolios, 2016

Talented artist we discovered few years ago Henrietta Harris has created lots of new artworks since than. Her paintings often involved portraiture with a departure into the surreal with faces skilfully obscured and misplaced by the clean sweep of a brushstroke.

Pink Project by Portia Munson

October 10, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, United Kingdom, Portfolios, 2016

Recently exhibited at Frieze Art London "Pink Project" of Portia Munson is a bold setup of feminst artists represented by NY Gallery P.P.O.W.

P.P.O.W.’s booth at Frieze London, 2016. Photo by Benjamin Westoby for Artsy

"The highlight of P.P.O.W.’s booth is certainly Portia Munson’s 1994/2016 Pink Project: Table, in which the artist collected hundreds of pink, plastic items—dolls, My Little Ponies, makeup receptacles, hair accessories, and mirrors among them—marketed at young girls and women. The table is not just a feast for the eyes, but also a trip down memory lane and a potent reminder of consumerism’s influence on children." Artsy

““Pink Project,” first exhibited in the New Museum’s Bad Girls exhibition in 1994, consists of thousands of discarded pink objects carefully arranged on a large table. It is a visual overload of products that were created to appeal specifically to women and girls, including hair clips, pacifiers, fake fingernails, combs, dildos, cleaning products, toys, tampon applicators, kitchen gadgets and hundreds of other items, all representing mass seduction and consumption. The “Pink Project” has taken various forms: as sculpture, presented in glass vitrines, as a room-sized mound, a bedroom (exhibited at Mass MOCA in 2010), and a glass coffin.

Each iteration of the work has revealed the marketing of femininity and the infantilization of the female gender while also exploring the culturally loaded color pink and its continued societal projection onto girls and women.”

Our Colour by Liz West

September 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, United Kingdom, Portfolios, TOP 2016, Digital Art, 2016

"Liz West creates a multi-coloured rainbow space for Bristol Biennial. Known for her vibrant light installations, the artist filled an empty office block with gel-filtered, fluorescent shades, from radiant red to nostalgic violet. West wanted to build a sensory experience that will put human perception in focus. ‘Our Colour’ site-specific project let her find that the eye travelling through an entire palette will most likely return to the colour it finds most comfortable and pause to enjoy it."
