Indoor | Outdoor "Mattia Bonetti, known for his limited edition works and unique commissions, has approached the distinction between art and design not as a barrier, but as a wellspring of creative dialogue." Mattia Bonetti, Indoor | Outdoor10 April – 4 May, 2013293 Tenth Avenue, New YorkPaul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to present Indoor | Outdoor, an exhibition of new functional sculptures by Mattia Bonetti, on view from 10 April – 4 May, 2013 at 293 Tenth Avenue in New York. "The series epitomizes Bonetti’s unique vision, including an exciting debut of new outdoor furniture, a career first for the artist. Since the beginning of his pioneering practice in the 1970s, Bonetti, known for his limited edition works and unique commissions, has approached the distinction between art and design not as a barrier, but as a wellspring of creative dialogue. Inspired by the dynamic between indoors and out, these works swing both conceptually and formally between the organic and the geometric, playing in the space between the natural and the crafted. Blurring these familiar boundaries, the majority of the works have been designed to thrive both inside and outside. Bonetti’s forms also consciously reinvigorate classical and timeless silhouettes, suggesting cultural influences as diverse as Ancient Greece and imperial India. From the patterns of woven reeds translated in bronze, to shaped travertine filled with colored resin, to illuminated Madagascar rock crystal, to cast aluminum that bears the raised grain of hand-milled elm—these works tantalizingly combine and reimagine the world of design into a realm of dueling materials, forms, and evocations."more here... -------------- Indoor | Outdoor "Mattia Bonetti, known for his limited edition works and unique commissions, has approached the distinction between ...

Louise Nevelson:The 70s March 22 - May 11, 2013 "I love to put things together. My whole life is one big collage. Every time I put on clothes, I am creating a picture, a living picture, for myself... I like clothes that are upholstered. I like that you build up your clothes…You can do it two-dimensionally, and every time I do it, when I go back to my work, I use that again.” - Louise NevelsonL&M Arts is pleased to present Louise Nevelson: The 70s, an in depth look at a diverse and defining decade of work by the woman deemed the “Grande Dame of Contemporary Sculpture.” This extensive exhibition will include over thirty works described by the artist at the time of their making to be about the now, which have since matured over the past three decades to take on new and evolved relevancy. The first exhibition to focus solely on works from this era examines a culminating crest of her investigations into the relationship between elements, sculpture, and architecture to achieve her distinct material alchemy.

DISC Interiors featured on CA Home + Design"DISC Interiors believes homes should be, "filled with personality, warmth, and simply feel good." We couldn't have said it better ourselves and were thrilled to hear Krista and David's answers to our Designer Crush Q&A!" We are thrilled that DISC Interiors was included in Designer Crush series. CA Home + Design Magazine is "a powerful voice, declaring what California design is today. Like the most celebrated interior designers, artists and architects, we have our own distinct creative vision that inspires, informs and influences. We believe that design is personal. Without the story of intention and the emotion of expression, design means nothing to us. To us, the people are what give the products meaning." Read the entire interview on CA Home + Design blog. Designer Crush Q& A: DISC Interiors was established in 2011, and is a full service interior and commercial design firm run by Krista Schrock and David John. Although their company is young by industry standards, Krista and David's understanding of the careful balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary materials is inspiring, as is their focus on texture. DISC works closely with artisans and furniture and textile designers to create these lush looks, and we think it really shows.What's your dream design project? Who would it be for (dead or alive)? DISC Interiors: Our dream project would be to design a boutique hotel in Northern California, or the countryside in Japan, where we could invite our friends when it was completed. We both love traveling to new areas, and exploring the craft and design tradition of that area. We'd love to create a hotel where people travel to rest, relax, eat, and be surrounded in beauty. We are drawn to materials that feel good to touch and to look at, and also have a sense of history or story behind them.more here....--------------- DISC Interiors featured on CA Home + Design "DISC Interiors believes homes should be, "filled with personality, warmth, and sim...
