Willy de Sauter | The essence of reality

W&V — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:30:08 +0000

Belgian artist Willy de Sauter creates fascinating work in the artistic tradition to which abstract art is the carrier and tool to represent the essence of reality. His artistic vocabulary can be characterized as a thorough abstraction of shapes and structures which are found back in nature, culture and architecture. He closely observes and analyses architecture or selected photographs and uses the results of these studies as a starting point to translate and transposition the existing form or structure into an abstract representation. In Willy de Sauter his oeuvre, places are reduced to non-places and associations with philosophy, visual art and architecture are fused into one general and open focus on culture.
At this moment Willy de Sauter has a solo exhibition at Phoebus gallery in Rotterdam , the Netherlands. The show will run until march 4, 2012.

David Bailey | We’ll take Manhattan

W&V — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:30:04 +0000

Recently filmmaker John McKay revisited David Bailey’s legendary 1962 trip to New York in the BBC film We’ll take Manhattan. During this trip Bailey had to shoot the photo’s for an editorial which was published in the April 1962 edition of British Vogue. He agreed to do the shoot only if the, at that time still unknown, Jean Shrimpton was his model. Bailey and Shrimpton where instructed to shoot mid-priced British fashions against the elegant landmarks and modern architectonic cityscape of Upper Manhattan. Instead of doing this David Bailey and his model Jean Shrimpton travelled with no hair or makeup artist and just his camera and an old teddy bear as prop through the more unpolished side of Manhattan. The shots he made melted raw and realistic street photography with fashion and high art and resulted in a legendary iconic series which captured the new liberated spirit of the decade.The photo’s of this shoot are later published in David Bailey: NYJSDB62 (Steidl, 2007). The film by John McKay explores the hedonistic love affair between the iconic photographer and the Sixties supermodel during this British Vogue fashion shoot.

Aristotle on art, conceptual layers and inner value

W&V — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:30:16 +0000

Quote about art from Greek philosopher Aristotle which can especially be considered as an early statement about conceptual art and design as it addresses directly the core principle of a conceptual design approach and the resulting physical product and its inner value, meaning and significance.

The Greek philosopher and polymath Aristotle was a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoölogy. Together with Plato and Plato’s teacher Socrates, Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy.

Tobias Rehberger | Sex and Friends

W&V — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:30:10 +0000

The work of Tobias his recent exhibition at the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Belgium has now moved on and is on show at the Pilar Corrias Gallery in London. The show carries the title: Sex and Friends

Tobias his conceptual art installation set up at Pilar Corrias Gallery explores again the conflict between functionalism and aesthetics and again questions and plays with the notion of art and its various strategies. The main key element of this specific installation is transformation. This key element is not only linked to the change of the space itself but also to the transformation during a specific time frame and especially the transformation of the viewer, his/her behaviour and thoughts.

The series of sculptures in this installation seem abstract and find their “ghost-image” counterpart in the amorphous shadows they project on the walls. The art works transmit words and patterns onto the surfaces around them. The sculptures and their shadows are dynamic in a reversed way. They encourage the viewer to move and look at them from various perspectives. By doing that they shift and transform themselves. During brief moments of the day the shadows come together and form a “hidden” message. The visual message itself becomes less important as the event is basically already known and announced to the viewer who visits the gallery space, however what is important in this conceptual installation is that the upfront announced “hidden” feature/message does right away influence and transform the viewers behaviour and thoughts.

Sex and Friends is running until February 17, 2012 at Pilar Corrias Gallery, London.

Diary 201211 | Christmas and New Year

W&V — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:10:55 +0000

Warmenhoven & Venderbos will celebrate Christmas and New Year again by supporting a cause that is dear to them.
The Warmenhoven & Venderbos budget, which has been reserved for Christmas gifts has this year been donated to The Netherlands Brain Foundation (Hersenstichting Nederland). Our brain makes us who we are and determines how we function. Out of first hand experience the designers know how devastating the effect of a brain disorder caused by for example a stroke can be for a person and his/her close relatives.
With the funds collected The Netherlands Brain Foundation wants to prevent brain disorders, heal them, and ensure that brain patients can lead as full a life as possible. This is important because one in four Dutch people will be affected by a brain disorder. Find more information on the The Netherlands Brain Foundation (Hersenstichting Nederland) website.

We wish you a merry Christmas and an inspiring New Year.

Prettige kerstdagen en een gelukkig Nieuwjaar

Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo

Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année

He created the installation called The Snow as part of the exhibition Sensing Nature at the Tokyo Mori Art museum last year.

Tokujin Yoshioka explores the potential future of design and how it will incorporate natural principles, effects and by integrating natural science technologies. His installation is similar to looking at or walking through a snowstorm. It is an expanded version of the original ‘snow’ which was exhibited in 1997.
