A Two-Tiered Straw Marquetry Table   We recently completed a table in straw marquetry, made for Peter Pennoyer Architects, featuring an unusual and interesting design. It is constructed with two tiers at reverse angles, creating a dynamic, functional shape. The straw was dyed to a custom color, lending to the subtle radiating pattern on the top and the shelf of the piece.   Read the full post on the Atelier Viollet blog.

A New Shipment of Gypsum   A new shipment of gypsum arrived at our workshop recently. A very difficult material to process, it will be used in a new prototype for which fabrication will begin shortly. Here at Atelier Viollet, we pride ourselves in being on the front lines of exploration when it comes to innovative applications of our favorite materials, including gypsum.

Fabricating A Table With An Inlay Top   We are in the process of fabricating a beautiful extending dining table for Mary Delaney Interior Design. One of the more complicated parts about this particular table is the top inlay design pattern. The pictured inlay table top requires a great amount of concentration and attention to detail.  Read the full post on the Atelier Viollet blog. #Fineartmagazine

Marking the Zurich gallery’s final exhibition, the Japanese sculptor Akiko Sato has dedicated the last twenty years to an in-depth exploration of the manifold notions and concepts of time. Her sculptures in marble, granite, alabaster or onyx give tangible forms to these abstract concepts. Viewing the sculptures from all sides and exploring their forms and surfaces by touch triggers forgotten memories and experiences. In her works a linear understanding of time is replaced by a completely open approach to past, present and future where apparent symmetries are broken by juxtapositions and intervals of time and space. The metamorphosis from sand to stone and eventually back to dust is a constant reminder of the ephemerality of time.

In Black Moon, we see Sahmarani’s renewed focus on the medium of oil paint itself. "I've been working with oil for twenty years," says Sahmarani, "and it is only in the last two years that I feel I have really had a breakthrough." From simple compositions of defined lines and graphic figures, Sahmarani’s paintings have transformed. A looser brush stroke dissolves into a symphony of colour not unlike those found in his new home by the Mediterranean. Over the years, defined figures and human shapes have dissipated to make way for freer forms and a bolder application of colour. The smooth, flat surface on his canvas has given way to swathes of thick impasto, the texture of his painting taking physical form as a tangible being, with abstract patterns and heavy brush strokes revealing the images lying within.

Marking the first show in the gallery’s new Project Space, Behind the Dunes draws its inspiration from a 10-year project on which artist Lisa Ross worked in and around the Taklamakan Desert of China’s far northwest. Here Ross reveals a little known religious tradition in Xinjiang China with its desert shrines to Sufi saints and Muslim pilgrimage sites. Ross discovered wind-battered markers, personal prayers and devotional shrines composed of branches, ladders, cloth and amulets. Her photographs are unassuming and quiet; people are never present and the objects she captures – stone on sand, cloth on stone, the skeleton of a dried animal – have an incandescent glow, as if lit by another sun. Unveiled in Ross’s photographic works is the meditative and spiritual power of landscape, as well as a sense of the sacred with which it is imbued.

The Project Space will feature a selection of Ross’s photographs. Copies of her new book, Living Shrines of Uyghur China, will be available for signing by the artist on the weekend at Arthur Probsthain Bookstore, 41 Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3PE.

Call for Artists: BorderBody - Mixing Identities, Italy / SpainInternational video-art, photography, installation and performing art festival 1st Deadline: January 08, 2014 2nd Deadline: January 20, 2014   International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting photo works, video/short films, installations and performing art works to include in the next 2014 exhibitions:   "BorderBody - Mixing Identities" international art festival of photography, video art, installation and performing art which will be held in Almeria (Spain), at MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico, during the 7 and the 21 of February 2014 (video screening only), and in prestigious Palazzo Barone Ferrara in Bari (Italy), from the 13 to the 21 of February 2014.   “BorderBody” exhibitions cycle is conceived as a diffused and nomadic festival in different places of the world. “Mixing Identities”, the second chapter of this 3-event cycle, is focused on the hybridization of social identities. In contemporary societies boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, that makes each person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid and multiple. Cultural, religious, ethnic borders become changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities, creating new possible crossings, new blends. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.   The event is open to photography, video art, installation and performing art. Exhibition at MECA (Spain) is open to video art only.   Palazzo Barone Ferrara is a magnificent historic building of XIX century, symbol of importance and progress of the city. Located in the centre of Bari, is the headquarters and exhibition space of Banca Apulia bank.   MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico, is one of the contemporary art galleries more active and consolidated in Spain.   The 1st deadline session for applications is January 08, 2014   To take part in the selection, send your artworks’ submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (for video-art), pictures of your artworks via email to lucacurci@lucacurci.com or via mail to:   International ArtExpoCorso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33 70122 Bari, Italy   The number of works you can submit is unlimited. The participation in the International Art Festival requires an entry fee (different for each deadline session) only for selected artworks. Participation open to: artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.   International ArtExpo is a not for profit organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries. We depend on the support of you. ArtExpo is grateful to all of the institutions, corporations, and individuals who support our efforts. We work with a number of national and international galleries as well as publishers, museums, curators and writers from all over the world.
