Sculptor Max Lamb's exhibition of pieces cut from Chinese Granite as the London Design Festival are perfection. I love the raw simplicity of each piece. The artist was able to travel to China to individually select pieces of granite from quarry's that were then cut to his specifications. The outcomes are beautiful.
One of my favourite galleries in New York's Tribeca - Espasso is currently exhibiting a collection of works by 82 year old Brazilian architect Sergio Rodrigues. Espasso's commitment to South American design makes it the perfect place to showcase the historical work of the great architect.
Tom Sachs is a sculptor and probably best known for his elaborate recreations of modern icons. He famously recreated Knoll office furniture out of phone books and duct tape and later recreated Le Corbusier's 1952 Unité d'Habitation using only foamcore and a glue gun. His exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is now offering a snapshot of his work that focuses solely on his recreations of cameras. The work spans his lifetime, the earliest piece, a clay replica of a Nikon SLR that Sachs made when he was only eight years old as a gift for his father.
To see more of his work go here.
