The Russian painter, graphic artist and art theorist. Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was one of the great masters of modernart, as well as the outstanding representative of pure abstract painting (using only colors and forms) that dominated the first half of the twentieth century. Soon after his return to Germany at the end of 1921, Kandinsky received an invitation to become a teacher at the Bauhaus in Weimar.

OfHouses guest curated by Pedro Dionísio (Elara Fritzenwalden): HYPERMINIMAL #04 Involuntary sculpture

«Objects lose their value, whatever physical value they may have, or the values that motivated their manufacture, in favour of new meanings derived from their situation or their position. Individual pieces keep their essential unity. But there is a new sense for the whole, which does not cancel out that of the parts.

Conglomeration. Placing side by side. Piling up. Objects rubbing against each other transfer their meanings. Soft composition strategies. The order of the whole is subordinated to the integrity of the parts. Addition vs. subtraction. The design process as a continuous aggregation of materials gradually merging in a tactile way. Accumulation. Substitution.

(In the Argo, the vessel where the Argonauts travelled in search of the Golden Fleece, the pieces were gradually replaced, one by one, and in the end they had a different, new boat although with the same name and shape).»

Tree-ness House by Akihisa Hirata

Japanese architect Akihisa Hirata has completed a multi-storey project in Tokyo’s Otsuka district, which expands upon his affinity with nature-inspired architecture. although it is primarily a residential building, ‘tree-ness house’ also contains spaces for commercial tenants at its lower levels. located on a deep but narrow site, the slender design employs an organic layering system to generate a series of three-dimensional spaces that relate to the building’s surroundings.

OfHouses guest curated by Pedro Dionísio (Elara Fritzenwalden): HYPERMINIMAL #33 The table arrangement

«We work with arrangements, with the temporary array of elements.

Our tables are an example of this arranged order. In the classical table layout, etiquette meant a rigorous and precise organization of plates, cutlery and glasses. The correct sequence of the courses of the meal, the tableware required for each type of food, the order for drinks… made up the rules of arrangement. Parties and banquets were the venues for freedom and improvisation in the center of the table.

Nowadays, we do not follow these rules. Garnishes, salads, communal plates, assorted drinks all sharing the table, and at times, all of the food is on the table at once; we even help ourselves directly from the platters. But the initial setting of our tables is unaltered. Only providing its adaptability right at the end.

There are open arrangements that ascertain this flexibility: some can be specific for each moment and type of food; or ambiguous; or formal like abstract sculptures; or arrangements where the tableware is displayed waiting for the diner to establish its definitive position, or disorganized; or arranged in a line; or simultaneous. Perhaps it is necessary to make a project for the table.»

Do Ho Suh: Almost Home

Images by rcruzniemiec aka archatlas

Do Ho Suh: Almost Home is the first major exhibition of the artist’s work on the East Coast. It will feature large-scale installations of the artist’s brightly hued “Hub” sculptures—intricately detailed, hand-sewn fabric recreations of homes where Suh has lived from around the world—along with several drawings and a series of semi-transparent replicas of household objects called “Specimens.” The Hubs comprise a series of conjoined rooms and passageways that visitors can enter and experience from the inside, including a new work depicting the artist’s childhood home in Seoul that will debut in the exhibition.

The Hampstead House, which belongs to a young doctor and his family, is located in the affluent Hampstead neighbourhood in Montreal. The project entailed the renovation of a home that had been occupied by the former owner for more than 40 years. The clients wanted to modernise the house, which featured outdated finishes and a “compartmentalised living experience”.
