Tarik Currimbhoy, Twist, Stainless Steel, 6 feet, Edition 2 of 4

Tarik Currimbhoy, Large Eye, Stainless Steel, 2 feet, Edition of 7

Classically trained in the arts, industrial design, and architecture, Tarik Currimbhoy is a trifecta of artistic prowess. Having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture from the Pratt Institute, as well as a Master of Arts from Cornell University, Tarik later went on to teach at both institutions (Drawing at Cornell and Design at Pratt).

 

In both architecture and sculpture, Tarik searches for tranquility, simplicity, and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Tarik uses handcrafting and ancient casting techniques to create distilled forms driven by these forces of nature. His sculptures are “stories of structure and gravity,” held together under compression in stone and metal.


Tarik has mastered the juxtaposition of the old and the new creating sculptures that are modern and minimal in form. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces, and corporate and private collections.


The essential issues that are explored in Tarik’s sculptures are those of gravity, balance, movement, stasis and all addressed with formal beauty and fineness that belays the underlying exactitude of the mathematical calculations.


The scientific is presented with the magical imagination that compels us to probe into the world of rules laws not always associated with the subjective expressiveness of art. We partake in this feast of unexpected connections to learn about the endless possibilities of artists vision to shatter the accustomed understanding of creativity and perception of beauty.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tarik Currimbhoy was born in Mumbai, India and currently lives and works in New York City. Tarik’s father was a playwright who would visit America where his plays were staged on Broadway and bring back toys for Tarik that had to be constructed. This is when Currimbhoy learned to love to build and design things. Currimbhoy came to New York to attend the Pratt Institute to be a painter but he found that sculpture appealed to him more. He studied and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt with a major in Industrial Design. He then attended Cornell and received a degree in Architecture where one of his inspirations was Luis Barragán, the Mexican Architect/Sculptor. He later went on to teach at both of his alma maters (Drawing at Cornell and Design at Pratt). Classically trained in the arts, industrial design, and architecture, Currimbhoy is a trifecta of artistic prowess.


In both architecture and sculpture, Currimbhoy searches for tranquility, simplicity and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Tarik's sculptures began as "stories of structure and gravity", held together under compression in stone. These became the genesis for studies in metal, which could express these concepts in dynamic fashion and sensual form.

Currmbhoy is an architect by profession with offices in New York and Mumbai. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces as well as corporate and private collections. Currimbhoy has created and co-designed some monumental sculptures and buildings – including the headquarters for McKinsey & Co. in Gurgaon, India; The Ellipse at the Omi Sculpture Park in upstate New York; The Raincatcher, an observatory installed in a private estate in New York; a 30,000 square foot Italian Renaissance style Mansion in Jaipur, India; and the Aura Skyscraper in New York.

Lights, Camera, Action: Cinema in Piazza returns for its 5th year

A weekend of films and community in Magazzino's central courtyard

This weekend, June 17-19, 2022, Magazzino Italian Art presents Cinema in Piazza, partnering once again with the Cold Spring Film Society and Artecinema for our annual film series. We are excited to welcome guests back to the museum’s central courtyard to enjoy light refreshments, engaging panel discussions, and a selection of film screenings, as outlined below.

Melissa McGill: Red Regatta
June 17, 2022 | Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are sold out for this event. 

This film by Venetian filmmaker Giovanni Pellegrini follows artist Melissa McGill’s independent public art project, Red Regatta, which was presented in collaboration with Associazione Vela al Terzo Venezia and co-organized by Magazzino Italian Art, curated by Chiara Spangaro with project manager Marcella Ferrari and support from Mazzoleni. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist Melissa McGill and Magazzino’s Curatorial and Programming Assistant, Chiara Mannarino.

In conjunction with the film screening, there will be a book launch of the 200-page volume, Red Regatta. Published by Marsilio and designed by Beatriz Cifuentes of New York studio Waterhouse Cifuentes Design, the book features McGill’s personal reflections, as well as essays by Chiara Spangaro tracing the artist’s body of work and Silvio Testa, who reveals the secrets and history of the vela al terzo tradition in the lagoon. 

Design is One: Lella & Massimo Vignelli
June 18, 2022 | Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets available here.

Italian-born Lella and Massimo Vignelli are among the world’s most influential designers. Their work covers such a broad spectrum that one could say they are known by everybody, even those who don’t know their names. Through the scope and integrity of their work, they have influenced the world of design for over 40 years. The film brings us into the work and everyday moments of the Vignellis’ world, capturing their intelligence and creativity, as well as their humanity, warmth, and humor. 

Prior to the screening, director Kathy Brew will be in conversation with designer Beatriz Cifuentes, a longtime associate of the Vignellis, who is featured in the film. They will discuss what it was like to work with the Vignellis and how their design philosophy, discipline, and practice carries on in Cifuentes’ own design practice with Waterhouse Cifuentes Design and as a design consultant for Magazzino Italian Art. 

Swept Away
June 19, 2022 | Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets available here.

In celebration of the career and legacy of Lina WertmĂĽller, we will screen her noteworthy film Swept Away. There will be an introduction by Dr. Elizabeth Alsop in which she will share information about the production, contemporary reception, and legacy of Swept Away, and situate the film within the broader context of Lina WertmĂĽller’s career. Dr. Alsop will also offer comments on some of the film’s most salient and controversial themes, drawing on the work of leading critics and film scholars.
