Best of #February

Architecture, art, design and science intersect themeselves in the projects published in February: from New York to Towada via Milan and Tel Aviv, we spoke about artists’ studio, inflatable sculptures and self-produced shoes.

Among the architectures published on Domus Web on February there are two artists’ studio: the writing studio for two poets referencing Gianni Pettena’s installation Ice House from 1972, completed by Para-project; and the versatile 20 square-meter room in an artist’s apartment designed in Tel Aviv by Raanan Stern.

Architecture occupies art’s space in SANAA’s exhibition Towada Art Center: an exhibition that does little to present a process or method, leaving the questions of ‘how’ and ‘why’ to diagrams and notes that pace the long corridor wall of the museum, reviewed by Stuart Munro.

At the boundaries between art, architecture and design there is String Prototype, the prototype of a self supporting inhabitable sculpture based on production system of large geometric inflated objects tested by Austrian collective Numen / For Use.

In the Design section Eugenia Morpurgo and Juan Montero’s project Don’t Run – Beta is an experimental system focused on illustrating the possibility of a transparent, open and collaborative production line for shoe making and design, whilst Nendo’s Paper-Brick allows to create a pseudo-3D object by stacking tricolor blocks that seem three-dimensional.

Among the exhibitions there is “Pinned Up” at the Stedelijk museum in Amsterdam, the first large solo exhibition by Marcel Wanders visited by Alice Mela; “Tough Love”, the exhibition by Sebastian Errazuriz at Storefront for Art and Architecture featuring 15 objects that address socio-political issues and question public perception of art and design; and Micol Assaël’s exhibition ILIOKATAKINIOMUMASTILOPSARODIMAKOPIOTITA, curated by Andrea Lissoni at HangarBicocca in Milan and viewed for Domus Web by Ilaria Bombelli.
