Phantom Limb: Diana Al-Hadid’s first solo show in the Middle East

Phantom Limb

Informed by the past, yet jarringly present: Diana Al-Hadid’s first solo show in the Middle East

Known for her tower-like sculptures and drippy gypsum panels, Diana Al-Hadid has made a name for herself as a Renaissance-inspired sculpture artist. Her work reads like hypertext, linking various cultural histories and geography. Despite having been raised in the American Midwest, she was born in her family’s native Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Her work recalls ancient civilisations, as if lamenting their extinction. That is not, however, to assume that Al-Hadid’s work is planted in her Syrian heritage; on the contrary, she rejects the postmodern tradition of operation on, as Nicholas Bourriaud explains, ‘a logic of membership’, whereby artists are classified according to their ethnicity and/or culture. She is as much an American artist as she is a Syrian one.

Educated between her home state of Ohio and the East Coast, Al-Hadid now lives and works in New York City. Judging by the scale and materials she uses, one can imagine her Brooklyn studio being immensely large and busy. Phantom Limb, her first solo exhibition in the Middle East, currently on display at New York University in Abu Dhabi, is small, yet unmistakably poignant. The artist has used polymer gypsum, plaster, and fibreglass, amongst other materials, to make relic-like sculptures and panels. Because each piece is composed of such free-flowing shapes, it is clear that Al-Hadid works instinctively, blurring the line between ornate and austere by bringing ancient ruins and old masterpieces back to life. In a city erupting with modernity, Phantom Limb is overwhelming in its ability to resonate and evoke a sense of nostalgia

Design Museum Holon: nendo: the space in between 7.6.16 – 29.10.16

Design Museum Holon announces a major site-specific commission by nendo to be presented as part of the Japanese studio's first retrospective

May 2016: Design Museum Holon is pleased to announce 'in the shade', a newly commissioned piece by leading Japanese design studio nendo, as part of the upcoming Museum's retrospective nendo: the space in between. The piece will stay at the Museum as part of the permanent collection. 

‘in the shade’ is a series of 5 free-standing screens constructed using sheets of glass coloured by Glas Italia supported by Caesarstone pedestals. Each pedestal has been positioned to look as though it penetrates the glass' surface, appearing as if shade is falling onto the pedestal. Looking at the piece from one side, it evokes the feeling of being "outdoors" while what lies behind the screen appears to be "indoors". The overall effect of "the space in between" is achieved by separating the inside and outside through the overlapping boundaries between mass and air, light and shade.

"When we observed the landscape of Israel we noticed the powerful shaft of "sunlight" and the "shadow" that it creates, together they generate several overlapping boundary surfaces." – Oki Sato, nendo

The exhibition will address the challenges and the related solutions that nendo has encountered while interacting with the different typologies of objects and their unexplored areas.

nendo: the space in between will stretch from the interior to the exterior of the Design Museum Holon’s grounds, to provide an overall thought-provoking and immersive experience.

To be presented in the external entrance to the Museum will be 'stone garden', a collaboration between nendo and Caesarstone that was previously exhibited at Toronto's Interior Design Show and Milan Design Week in 2013. 'stone garden' consists of 155 table-like elements made out of ten different stone-shaped Caesarstone colours, each supported by a simple metal rod and secured by an overlapping design. The elements are clustered together to form a seemingly floating landscape.

Art Mumbia Grows, Art Night Thursday | Extended gallery hours till 9:30pm | Exhibition continues till 23rd April, 2016

Art Night Thursday | Extended gallery hours till 9:30pm | Exhibition continues till 23rd April, 2016   The team at TARQ is pleased to present ‘Feedback Loop’ curated by Kanchi Mehta, with works on display by Starlyn D'Souza, Madhavi Gore, P.S Jalaja, Nirmal Kulkarni, Violeta Lisboa, Romain Loustau, Lavanya Mani and Atish Saha. Each of the eight artists’ multi-disciplinary practices bring a unique perspective to the central premise of the exhibition Feedback Loop. According to curator Kanchi Mehta, a 'feedback loop' refers to a channel or a pathway formed by an ‘effect’, returning to its ‘cause’, and generating either more or less of the same effect. Featuring works that include photography, painting, sculpture and performance, 'Feedback Loop' constructs various circuits of cause and effect, tracking the cyclical nature of a variety of forms. #fineartmagazine

Leading quartz manufacturer Caesarstone, in collaboration with British designer Tom Dixon, unveil new images from 'The RESTAURANT by Caesarstone & Tom Dixon, a multi-sensory creation consisting of four conceptual kitchens and dining halls inspired by the elements – Earth, Fire, Water and Air. Created using Caesarstone surfaces and designed by Tom Dixon, these are taking over the Milan Children’s Museum (MUBA) in the historical Rotonda della Besana during the 2016 design festival in Milan.

Set within the ideal backdrop of a 17^th century Cloister and a deconsecrated church, the installation provides a unique interpretation of how food and surfaces can interact in an exercise of distinctive tastes, smells and visuals within each kitchen. Reflecting the individual element through colour and texture, Caesarstone's surfaces become the ultimate plateau for a creative dining experience that engages all the senses.

For this installation, a food concept curated by Italian food design studio Arabeschi explores the power of nature’s elements in a menu that combines traditional ingredients with modern techniques.  Cooking in the kitchens, the chefs are creating a multi-sensory dining experience where food is prepared and served on Tom-Dixon designed Caesarstone surfaces, combining rare, element-inspired cooking techniques with fresh and unique ingredients.
 

No pre-booking policy. There will be plenty of space to accommodate large groups at any time of the day.
Dining rates:
-       1 dish (you can choose from any kitchen) = 10 Euros
-       4 dishes (the whole experience) = 25 Euros
-       Visitors can pay with cash or card

Opening times: La Rotonda della Besana 
Via Enrico Besana, 12, 20122 Milano, Italy
Tuesday April 12^th open 12.00 to 19.00
Wednesday April 13^th - Saturday April 16^th open 10.00 to 19.00
Sunday 17th April open 10.00 to 16.00

The Anglet contemporary art international biennial unveils its program

The Anglet contemporary art international biennial unveils its program

Teaser La littorale #6 - Anglet contemporary art international biennial The sixth Anglet-Bask Coast contemporary art international biennial has been named La Littorale, a name chosen to anchor this cultural event geographically. This time the event’s artistic direction has been entrusted to writer and art historian, Paul Ardenne. With La Littorale #6 the new curator wants “selected artists to question the tensions and contradictions to which shores are now subject. This are in fact places that are sought after for the gentle lifestyle they offer as much as for being physical frontiers, limits, political spaces, bringing together stakeholders often with very different interests.” Anglet adds to these aspects the idea of an “ecological Eden, in grandiose natural surroundings”. The biennial thus restates its character as an open air exhibition, with wide open spaces for expression, where priority goes to themes linked to the complexity of the coastline: A leisure time seaside resort, a frontier contact area, a fragile rapidly evolving ecological space. From 26th August to 2nd November 2016, La Littorale #6 offers a journey through monumental works created by artists of several different nationalities installed in emblematic locations: La Barre, the Izadia ecological park, the seafront and its green spaces as well as La Chambre d’Amour.  Organization Ville d'Anglet - Direction de la Culture et de l’Ouverture internationale Villa Beatrix Enea, 2 rue Albert-le-Barillier, 64600 Anglet.

"BIG ANNIVERSARY - SMALL ARTWORKS" 50 years Galerie Thomas at Art Cologne April 14 - 17, 2016

"BIG ANNIVERSARY - SMALL ARTWORKS"

50 years Galerie Thomas at Art Cologne

April 14 - 17, 2016

This year, Art Cologne has been in existence for 50 years. From the start, Galerie Thomas was a presence at the Kölner Kunstmarkt and Art Cologne, which it developed into; indeed, Raimund Thomas was one of the art fair's founders. Thus it is a special pleasure that, this year, the Art Cologne Prize is being awarded to Raimund Thomas.

Plenty of good reasons for a very special art fair presentation: the idea is to celebrate this year’s major anniversary with small artworks. Galerie Thomas wants to provide a comprehensive overview of the artists that it has exhibited and dealt in over a period of 50 years. If it is not to grow out of proportion, of course, this can only be done with small works. The attraction lies not only in their abundance and variety, but mainly in the concentration and precision that the small format demands of artists.

The anniversary booth of Galerie Thomas at Art Cologne 2016 with works, amongst others, by Klee, Balkenhol, Belling, Heckel, Chagall, Barlach, Marc, Bühl, Berrocal, Nolde, Christian, Valdés, Zimmer, Warhol, Antes, Isenrath, Vostell and Salomé.

  

Especially for this occasion, we have created a miniature catalogue, in which we present a selection of the exhibited works.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the fair! You find GALERIE THOMAS in Hall 11.1 at booth A10.
 

With best regards

Silke Thomas & Raimund Thomas
