Proliferazioni e Vasebook by Francesco Ardini. Francesco Ardini cranks out 2 new series of vases: "Proliferazioni", a proliferation of bacteria that is free to evolve and mutate, and "Vasebook", inspired by the social network and with which to update and share your mood.
Francesco Ardini’s vision of reality plays with precariousness, in a process that fragments whatever surrounds him. Non-homogeneity, dissolution, breakage; in his work everything results in a naturalism in which nothing is absolute but everything is relative and unstable. In his latest series, part of the "Proliferazioni" family, we see vases infiltrating, growing and hatching in every angle of home. Proliferazioni e Vasebook by Francesco Ardini. Pinterest. Surgically Altered Ceramics by Beccy Ridsdel. UK-based artist Beccy Ridsdel creates fun yet strangely macabre interventions where ceramics have been surgically altered to reveal additional layers of detail.
Where the metaphor of surgery might normally evoke blood and guts, Ridsdel instead reveals further floral patterns inside bone china plates and cups. The pieces are part of an ongoing examination regarding the perception of ceramics as craft or art. GREY. Magical contamination by antoine bridier-nahmias Grey is found everywhere: rocks, clouds, elephants, fishes, asphalt...
As we have said before, it can reflect both softness and depression, and sometimes, as a natural phenomenon, it can be dreaded as it appears in little spots over a loaf of bread or on some innocent-looking raspberries. In his tumblr Magical Contamination, Antoine Bridier-Nahmias turns his attention to this particularly occurrence – suddenly, under his attentive eye, those unwelcome microscopic mushrooms reveal their beauty and become strangely fascinating. The greyness of the organic matter, sometimes disrupted by dashes of colour, creates organically grown compositions. The grey of blending and cross-fertilization (motifs that we have already come across in this section) is strongly present the petri dishes: it urges you to give in to the things you are not in control of, to accept nature and see how inherently magical it is.
EARTH MATTERS. For Berlin based artist Lukas Wegwerth, crystals serve as a glue that gives a glamourous second life to broken ceramic objects.
In some ways, Wegwerth is like a modern day alchemist. When looking for a solution to fix a favorite broken teapot, he became intrigued by the Japanese method of applying gold dust in the glue to purposely reveal the fissures in a broken vessel, and as such, elevating the object to a new status. After lengthy research and experimentation, he developed a process of applying a special salt-based solution along the unglazed edge of the ceramic. Overtime the crystals flourish and expand in unimaginable ways, as if transforming, Terminator style, right before our eyes. WATER. ”Not only is the swimsuit the single piece of clothing in which a woman reveals herself almost bare in public.
It’s also a garment charged with emotions and expectations. The swimsuit brings to life dear memories of childhood and long dreamy days at sea, of sand on sun-kissed skin and the bliss of an endless summer. It also carries the greatest hopes for the perfect holiday.Yet as every woman knows, the swimsuit also evokes a range of issues concerning the body. For me as a designer, it is the ultimate privilege to create swimwear that honors the strength of a confident woman, empowering her with stylish cuts and quality fabrics to truly make her comfortable” Paula Malm Berner.
Paula is a Stockholm-based fashion designer and entrepreneur, educated at the Parsons School of Design in New York. MILAN THE SALONE. Whenever designers are asked to “do” a concept car, the implicit idea is to choose a colour, design a new textile and invent a few trims to co-brand the vehicle in order to create sales traffic; a purely marketing-driven strategy which so far has never proven to generate more income.
Most of the time, luxury houses and fashion designers are requested to envelop the car body with a corporate ribbon or to change the interior into a mobile vanity case for driving females. Therefore it is rather remarkable that when Adrian van Hooydonk, head of design at BMW, approached the designers Scholten & Baijings to formulate a new vision of the hugely successful Mini, he gave them carte blanche to do whatever they wanted; a statement about their relationship with the car, a product that somehow reflected the car, an installation around the car… everything was possible, it was an open invitation.
Van Hooydonk knew little of what was going to happen, he clearly underestimated what he was doing. Johannes nagel. COLLAGES. Lidewij recently had a very interesting interview with Donatien Grau from AnOther Magazine.

In her work she bridges matter, people and space and through her project ‘Regen’ she came up with a new and innovative way for producing water-proof garments without sewing or cutting patterns. Can you tell us a bit about your graduation collection ‘Regen’? ‘Regen’ (‘rain’ in Dutch) was born two years ago when I was experimenting with rope and latex. I found out that the latex could get stuck into the cotton fibers and therefore « glue » them together. Before coming to Eindhoven, I studied metal craftsmanship at Ecole Boulle. I am working hands-on most of the time, materializing the ideas I have in my mind. TALENTS. TALENTS. TALENTS. Résultats Google Recherche d'images correspondant à. Tara Donovan. TARA DONOVAN.
