Ettore Sottsass: Un Piccolo Omaggio a Mondrian
November 4 - December 18, 2010
Friedman Benda, New York
"Sottsass has used color to determine shapes within
a composition and the relationship of exterior surface to interior function. "
Ettore Sottsass
"This series of architectural cabinets conceived by iconic 20th century architect Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) in the last years of his life is dedicated to the de Stijl master, Piet Mondrian. Never before exhibited, Piccolo Omaggio a Mondrian, translates architectural ideas into sculptural cabinetry of stunning color and form.
This remarkable body of work stands at the end of an unaparalleled career spanning six decades, in which Sottsass challenged the conventions of modernism and continuously helped reinvent the course of contemporary design."

1. Samuel Hart Room, 1680
2. The Wentworth Room 1695
3. The Hewlett Room
The intense blue of the woodwork and the orange red inside the shell cupboard were both popular color choices at the time, and—after microscopic analysis of color chip samples—the Museum has replicated the exact hues of the original paint. The paints were specially made for the room, with natural pigments suspended in linseed oil.
The Dutch tiles around the fireplace opening, which depict biblical scenes, are not original to this room, but rather representative of tiles that were imported in the mid-eighteenth century. The room also includes examples of early eighteenth-century decoration on painted furniture, quillwork, needlework, and ceramics.
At the time the Hewlett Room was built, painters were being influenced by materials and decorative techniques from the Far East and India as the result of trade routes that had newly opened in the previous century. Painters imitated lacquer ware with a method called "japanning," in which a dazzling array of animals, flowers, and Far Eastern figures and structures were depicted in gold leaf and paint on polished black backgrounds.

PAUL RUDOLPH
“Paul worked because he needed to. He needed to create.”
"According to the owners, there are more than 1,000 light bulbs in the apartment.
Rudolph used those bulbs to create borders —
almost like dotted lines of light — around the living areas."
Paul has been treated so badly,” says a woman whose Manhattan apartment was designed by Paul Rudolph, the Kentucky-born architect. She is referring to the indifference, and worse, that has greeted much of Rudolph’s architecture in the last three decades. Even before he died, of mesothelioma, in 1997, Rudolph was forced to travel to Asia to find clients. Since his death, several of his works in the United States have been demolished, and others are being threatened with the same fate. But inside this apartment, Rudolph is receiving the kind of treatment most architects can only dream of. The owners have kept the main rooms — completed almost four decades ago — exactly as they have been.
Unlike many of his contemporaries — Modernist architects who preferred their walls white and unadorned — Rudolph threw himself into creating novel surface treatments, many involving tricks of scale and the subversion of expectations. In the living room, Rudolph had mirrors cut into half-inch-wide vertical strips, then applied them like tiles to the curving walls. And instead of hiding the owners’ collection of silver miniatures in a cupboard, he arranged the pieces in front of the mirrors and lit them with hundreds of concealed incandescent bulbs. (And he did so without access to the L.E.D. strips that make such jobs a cinch today.) The result is a tableau in which the tiny collectibles dazzle like diamonds in a Tiffany & Company window.

“Paul worked because he needed to. He needed to create.”
"According to the owners, there are more than 1,000 light bulbs in the apartment.
Rudolph used those bulbs to create borders —
almost like dotted lines of light — around the living areas."
For Rudolph, who was known for molding concrete into shapes so intricate that they sometimes resembled M. C. Escher drawings, this apartment on a single floor of a prewar building must have felt confining. Rudolph’s free-standing buildings can have as many steps as doors or windows; his Art and Architecture Building at Yale University, though only seven stories high, is said to have 37 levels. But in the apartment, Rudolph found ways to work in three dimensions, installing built-in furniture that sweeps around the rooms, creating peninsulas and islands that seem truly topographic. In the husband’s office, a wavy, multilevel platform turns a rectangular space into a kind of cove while functioning as a wraparound library ladder.

1. Grocery store porch in Cashiers, North Carolina.
Picnic tables, colored stripes.
2. Somehow the antler chandeliers don't feel so outdated out here in bear country! This restaurant was "all porch." Huge vaulted ceilings, that overlooked the dense forest, and thunderstorm clouds flying high and dark. Only in the south, could a hot, humid, summer lunch be so perfect.
3. The lake. Upon boarding the boat, I spotted an outdoor carport / patio that overlooked the lake. Right on!
4. The lake house. I was impressed with the geometric design on the deck of this lake house. Many amazing houses on the lake, that appeared to have the same builder / architect. This house stood high above with its deck that even Louise Bourgeois might have loved!

the white mountains and sea.
"Snow and ice are normally white due to the diffusing structure of transparent water ice crystals. The same is true for many types of clouds where droplets of water diffuse the white light from the Sun.
Many mountains with winter or year-round snow cover are named accordingly: Mauna Kea means white mountain in Hawaiian, Mont Blanc means white mountain in French. Changbai Mountains literally meaning 'Perpetually White' Mountains, marks the border between China and Korea and Mount Kilimanjaro's name could originate from Swahili meaning little white hill. The White Sea, an inlet of the Barents Sea on the northwest coast of Russia is undoubtedly named so due to the icy environment."

"One day I read an interview with the Algerian film director, Abdel Kechiche. He stated that his cinema was the reflection of his life, his personal story. My father died when I was three and I experienced very strong emotions and a great deal of suffering. I don’t like to interpret these emotions, but I sometimes think that they gave rise to my sense of revolt in relation to bourgeois false appearances and social injustice. If I am interested in the world of poor people, it is because I enjoy being with people who have difficult lives, and who have stories to tell. My life involves thinking about my photography work every day; it is about interpreting other people’s thoughts, expressing my ideas, having experiences and understanding how to do things. I can not imagine myself separately from my work.
What is important?
What makes me get out of bed every morning?
What attaches me to this place?
How can I continue to evolve?
These are the questions I ask in this work and for me the answer lies in the feelings one has for others, in the love for one’s family.
These are the basic, essential things."

George Morrison has the distinction of being the only Native American artist that has been recognized as an American artist. He abstract style was nurtured at the Student Art League in New York City, where he was a participant during the 1940s. Although he has chosen to work in an abstract style, he has drawn from his childhood memories of growing up on the northern banks of Lake Superior. Often his work references the horizon line, a powerful connection to the land, the water and the sky.
The horizon line as a recurring theme provides structure and identity to his work and has become his signature.

the New Decor
Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre
19 June - 5 September 2010
19 June - 5 September 2010
This summer the Hayward Gallery presents The New Décor; an international survey of over 30 contemporary artists, including some of the leading sculptors of our time, who explore interior design as a means of engaging with changes in contemporary culture. By reconfiguring and reinventing the familiar objects of our domestic life, these artists look beyond design and function to create provocative sculptures and installations. Along with a solo exhibition of Ernesto Neto which runs concurrently in the upper galleries, The New Décor is a highlight of Festival Brazil, a major summer festival celebrating the dynamic culture of today’s Brazil, sponsored by HSBC.
The exhibition features work by 30 artists including: Martin Boyce (Britain), Los Carpinteros (Cuba), Jimmie Durham (USA), Elmgreen & Dragset (Scandinavia), Gelitin (Austria), Mona Hatoum (Lebanon), Jim Lambie (Britain), Sarah Lucas (Britain), Ernesto Neto (Brazil), Ugo Rondinone (Switzerland), Doris Salcedo (Columbia), Rosemary Trockel (Germany), Tatiana Trouve (Italian), Franz West (Austrian).
Like the Hayward’s previous summer exhibitions, Psycho Buildings and Walking in My Mind, and Ernesto Neto’s exhibition, the artists in The New Décor are concerned with the evolution of our interior and exterior environments. They shed light on their experiences and ask the viewer to consider their own relationship to the spaces they inhabit and look again at objects they may take for granted.
Curated by Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery, the exhibition draws on artists from around the world, but what unites them is their ability to transform objects we associate with the everyday – a bed, a shelf, a lamp – into something uncanny and compelling.
In French the word décor refers to stage sets as well as interior design, and in a similar spirit the works in this exhibition explore an arena between practicality and imagination, theatre and everyday life.
