a little death
Despite the broader reference to the traditional pictorial genre of “still life”, disseminated from the Dutch and Spanish painters of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, ‘Still life’ from 2001 and ‘A little death’ from 2002 refer especially to the painting of transient elements of the French Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1699-1779) to discuss the distortion and inexorability of time, the finitude of life or, above all, the interdependence between life and death. The title makes a direct reference to the expression with which the French philosopher Georges Bataille defined the orgasm: ‘une petite mort‘.

ТОНИ МАТЕЛЛИ
Tony Matelli je tak trochu podivín. Odráža sa to na jeho tvorbe. Diela, ktorými sa preslávil sú hyper-realistické sochy či už ľudí, zvierat ale vecí, no zakaždým však v netradičných polohách. Obrazne, ale aj doslova […] Tieto energiou nabité sochy slúžia ako metafory pre naše vlastné sociálne nepokoje a poukazuje na náš každodenný boj o prežitie. Parafrázujú vnútorné stavy zúfalstva, paniku a rozpoltenosť.. teda časté stavy spojené so snahou nájsť sám seba v našom vlastnom sociálnom svete.

На проходившей с мая по сентябрь 2003 года в лондонском Музее дизайна выставке «Peter Saville Show» были выставлены все созданные им обложки, а также объекты, сослужившие свою последнюю службу: опавшие листья, цинковая пластина и прочее, — всё то, что пригодилось в процессе оформления. Одновременно с открытием выставки вышла первая антология Сэвилла, включающая разнообразные работы графика и эссе, написанные ведущими британскими эстетами в мире музыки и дизайна («Designed by Peter Saville»).

Remnants
Remnants is an installation, comprised of two individual sculptures, Anatomy and Lacuna, which explores this evolving symbiosis between the mechanical and the biological become. Anatomy and Lacuna are constructed of aluminium, both containing areas of uncertain space. Anatomy contains a plane of black viscous matter and Lacuna, a black void, creating a tension between the two sculptures. The work draws on diagrammatic anatomical and architectural models, distorting scale and hijacking visual languages, creating an undetermined terrain where the purpose of our made objects is undefined.

Violet Dennison
MUMBO JUMBO
En utilisant des matériaux de son environnement urbain, y compris du béton et des tasses à café, Violet Dennison crée des sculptures qui répondent aux conditions de travail modernes. Alors que ses sculptures abordent les conditions de travail terne avec esprit et parfois avec un ton moqueur, elle rejette des termes comme la satire comme trop restrictifs, déclarant qu’elle veut «que l’art soit plus ouvert que cela». Ses dernières séries d’œuvres évocatrices proviennent de chaises de bureau trouvées, qu’elle a démontées et re-combinées avec des arrangements fantaisistes composés de matériaux industriels quotidiens tels que les barres d’armature.

FILE FESTIVAL
A processing sketch is used to generate virtual objects being projected on white timecode-vinyl. These objects can either be placed randomly or by the user via the computer keyboard or an external midi controller. If the record starts to turn, the virtual objects will move with the speed of the record. If a virtual object touches the turntables needle, it will trigger an animation and the playback of a sound. This is possible because the vinyl’s timecode provides information about the record’s playback speed and the position of the needle, thus enabling to synchronize the movement of the turntable with the movement of the projection and to calculate collisions of virtual objects with the turntable’s needle. In vinyl+, an analog medium at the same time acts as a carrier and an interface for virtual audio- and video-objects.

Architectural Constellation
To intensify the experience of visitors with the particular surrounding, X-Architects imagined “a constellation of architecture strategically placed on the vast terrain”. In fact, using the existing topography, the project puts in place dune shaped units, offering views of sabkhas. Moreover, other elements placed on the highest point of the site, grow vertically like the desert flower Cistanche Tubulosa and propose views towards the stars.
