Fruit of the collaboration among the French designer Sam Baron and Vista Alegre, manufacturing of porcelain of international fame. The project consists in the recovery from the designer of dishes rejected, with fractures or irregular forms not to the height of the qualitative standards, and of the following casual application of decorative elements of the repertoire Vista Alegre. These pieces done to hand purchase so a new value, aesthetical and of use.

Every set of plates is composed from 6 unique pieces, for this motive also the images here represented are to consider only explanatory of the project. Every sets of plates will introduce particularity and different fractures.

These dishes are fragile pieces of art to use only in decorative sense, therefore not to use for foods. Washable hand solo and to hold away from children.

Produced customised on request.

BaliceHertling invites Nilufar

Fiac 2012

Booth 1.K.22

Collaboration is the key of many relevant artistic projects. Artists are often looking at different disciplines to get inspirations and sparks for their own practice. The role of galleries is also to create opportunities for constructive dialogues. Following this ideal, Balice Hertling invites Nilufar gallery from Milan to co-curate an installation of art and design objects at the 2012 edition of Fiac. This partnership is the result of a series of previous collaborations between some of Balice Hertling’s gallery artists and designers represented by Nilufar gallery. The aim is to transform the artfair booth into an active social space while creating a semiprivate and accommodating space, rather unusual in an artfair: BaliceHertling will exhibit a series of new works by Kerstin Brätsch, Oscar Tuazon and Isabelle Cornaro along with Nilufar’s selection of rare design pieces.

Kerstin Brätsch (born 1979, German) is a New York-based artist who creates large-scale oil paintings. Rotation is used often as a motif and attitude within her work, in which the paintings are moved around throughout the duration of an exhibition. For Brätsch, painting is one element in a language that ranges from image production to performance, sculpture to design and distribution. She thinks of her process as an exercise of constant sideway shifts, in which a painting can be transferred into a book, a sculpture or a set for a performance. Her work emphasizes a conceptual-intuitive approach to painting, where the artist becomes a figure and the collective becomes a template.

Isabelle Cornaro(born 1974, France) is a Paris-based artist whose work includes film, installation, drawing and sculpture. Often exploring systems of representation, she is invested in the analysis, decomposition and deconstruction of the history of art and semiotics. Cornaro also questions and reflects upon our relationship to objects and the value we bestow upon them, thus putting into question the value added to a work of art.

Oscar Tuazon(born 1975, USA).
He moved to Paris in 2007 and co-founded the artist and curator run gallery Castillo / Corrales. Inspired by what he calls “outlaw architecture”, his works use raw slabs of concrete, steel and untreated wooden beams, bark-encrusted tree trunks and weighty metals chains. His sculptures, often massive in size, invade and take over the space in which they have been conceived.

Martino Gamper, born and raised in Merano -Italy-, moved to London in 1997 to study at the Royal College of Art under the tutelage of Ron Arad.Martino has an abiding interest in the psycho-social aspects of forniture design, in particular, he has a love of corners and the multiple emotions provoked by the single right angled boundary. Alonside this concern wiht underused spaces, Gamper also nurtures an interest in unwanted objects. Reworking furniture that has been dumped on the streets, he has created a mismatched family of objects.Behind each of Gamper’s pieces, there is a story, one that involves materials, techniques, people and places.From 2001 Gamper’s pieces have been shown in Museums and exhibitons all over the world.

Bethan Laura Wood ( born 1983, United Kingdom) is a UK based Designer who dreams to creates distance through detail .
With her multiply discipline Studio Bethan gets inspiration for the world around her often reflecting on elements of the City.
A strong interest in Materials and Craftmanship leads her process, often working in collaboration with Artisans
to explore in depth the qualities of materials associated with lower value or domestic/industrial use.

Studio BBPR
The group of architects was costituted in 1932 by Gian Luigi Banfi, Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Enrico Peressutti, Ernesto Nathan Rogers. Since they met, from their last years studying at Politecnico di Milano till the end of the Second World War, they focused their collaboration and creative projects on urban design and rationalist rigor. The War affected deeply the activity of the architects and caused an interruption in their creations.  Along with other monuments, they restarted their activity with many projects and created a ‘signature’ of Milan with Torre Velasca (1958), an emblematic building part of the revolution called Neo-Liberty.

The layout of the booth is an introduction of “Squat #1″, another project conceived by BaliceHertling, Nilufar in collaboration with Dimore studio. Opening on the 14th of October, “Squat # 1″ takes place in a private apartment in Avenue Victor Hugo, in the the heart of Paris.

A project by Nilufar Gallery, Balice Hertling and Dimore Studio

“Squat # 1″ is the result of a fortunate encounter between Nilufar Gallery, Balice Hertling and Dimore Studio. During the period of the FIAC (Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain), when the French capital is the center of the art world, a 350-sq-m apartment on the Avenue Victor Hugo, in the heart of Paris, will be the wonderful and exclusive location of the “artistic occupation” created by these three different entities: art, architecture and design meet in an unusual space where the boundaries of these different disciplines will challenge and dialogue with each other.

Known for her brave and fearless approach of mixing contemporary and historical design, Nina Yashar from Nilufar will bring some of her exceptional pieces including creations by Gaetano Pesce, Jacques Adnet, Gio Ponti and Martino Gamper. Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci from Dimore Studio will conceive a new body of work for the exhibition and Daniele Balice of BaliceHertling will present works by Kerstin Braetsch, Oscar Tuazon and Samuel Richardot, along with a selection of historical artworks.

The goal of this ambitious project is their common desire to break the rules of display that currently dominates both the design and art world: the idea of building a fictional private living space will challenge the exhibitor to question the status of the objects in display and push the viewer to read in different ways art and design. Interdisciplinary and voluntarily parachronistic, “Squat # 1″ will be the first step of a series of similar projects which will take place in different cities.

On display for a month from October 16th till Novemnber 10th “Squat #1″ will also be the theater of events proposed by the community around Nilufar, Balice Hertling and Dimore Studio: as an open platform, the exhibition will be animated and will become a social space where hopefully, more encounters will happen.

“Squat # 1″ is a project supported by Jean-Marc Israel and coordinated by Julien Desselle (Desselle & Partners).
