Carpenters Workshop画廊于2017年1月26日至3月4日举办了“艺术之光”展览。

继2016年巴黎展取得巨大成功，以及画廊为了庆祝10周年，展出了Atelier Van Lieshout，Sebastian Brajkovic, Nacho Carbonell等16位艺术家的作品。画廊以个展的形式展示每一位艺术家的作品，并突出展示他们最优秀的雕塑照明设计。

Carpenters Workshop Gallery New York is pleased to present ‘Art Light’ from 26 January to 4 March 2017.

After its great success in Paris in 2016 and celebrating the gallery’s 10 year anniversary, the exhibition will feature works from artists Atelier Van Lieshout, Sebastian Brajkovic, Nacho Carbonell, Vincenzo De Cotiis, Ingrid Donat, Johanna Grawunder, Stuart Haygarth, Mathieu Lehanneur, Frederik Molenschot, Random International, Giacomo Ravagli, Studio Drift, Studio Job, Charles Trevelyan, Morgane Tschiember and Erwin Wurm. Each artist’s work will be presented as a solo show highlighting the best of their sculptural lighting designs.

Atelier Van Lieshout

艺术之光画廊展示了Atelier Van Lieshout的代表作品Pappamamma Lamp。这盏灯给人十分抽象的印象，近距离的观察才能看清灯的形状是一个解剖了的男性和女性生殖器官，从婴儿的脐带处伸出灯罩的部分。这件作品诠释了AVL的黑幽默装饰美学。

Cast in bronze and typical of AVL’s dark humour and fixation on distopia, Dutch design studio Atelier Van Lieshout’s ‘Helmet lamp #2’ and ‘Crypto Helmet Lamp #1’ take lamps beyond their aesthetic purpose inspiring deep reflection and sobriety.

Artist Joep van Lieshout founded Atelier Van Lieshout in 1995 for conceptual reasons. His work explores ecology, ideology, philosophy, human existence, life and death. Combining Surrealist and Minimalist forms in his sculpture, Van Lieshout creates controversial thematic bodies of work which might be interpreted as sinister, while also conveying humour. Atelier Van Lieshout’s installations experiment with media, the boundary between art, architecture and human constructions, whilst exploring the position of man in society, autarky, organisational systems and relationships with reproduction and power.

For ‘Art Light’, the gallery will also show the iconic ‘Pappamamma Lamp’ in a finely-crafted polished Bronze. At first seemingly abstract, a closer look reveals the representation of human conception with a dissected female and male reproductive organ, united by a foetus connected to an umbilical cord of light. A work typical of AVL’s dark, deep yet decorative aesthetic.

Sebastian Brajkovic

Lathe Lamp表达了设计师大量探索的运动概念。设计师在数控车床机床上用铝创造的对称、旋转形式，是先进技术和雕塑方法的完美结合。

通过对理论和技术的深入探索，设计师创造了结构、自由以及形式的美学平衡。雕塑在成型之前先用手工雕刻，达到传统的精湛技术与现代数字科技的完美结合！

The ‘Lathe Lamp’ expresses a notion largely explored by the designer: movement. The symmetrical, rotated form turned out of aluminium on a CNC lathe machine is a great combination of advanced technique and sculptural approach.

The ‘Lathe’ series, expanded for his first solo show at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in 2008, returns to his original fascination with rotation and the idea of turned furniture. Through his in depth explorations of the theoretical and the technical, Seabstian Brajkovic creates an aesthetic balance of structure, freedom and form. Sculpted by hand before being moulded, the sculpture is a perfect result of traditional savoir-faire and new digital techniques, harnessing the possibilities of contemporary design aids.

Nacho Carbonell

Nacho Carbonell的作品Cocoon使用钢铁和混凝土等材料，这个作品能够让观赏者关注于作品所唤起的自然形态，从而忘却它的工业起源。艺术家说他看到物体是“活的生物进入生活，并用它的行为让你震惊。”Cocoon系列似乎在他们的闲置状态中呼吸和摇摆。

Using materials such as steel and concrete, the industrial origins of Nacho Carbonell’s ‘Cocoon’ works are forgotten when we see the natural forms they evoke. The artists says he sees objects as “living organisms that come to life and surprise you with their behavior.” The ‘Cocoon’ series appear to breath and sway in their idle state.

A designer whose self-stated aim is to, “appeal to the imagination” he has certainly achieved this. Nacho Carbonell was nominated for “Design of the Year” by the London Design Museum in 2009 for his work “Evolution.” A year later he was named “Designer of the Future” at Design Miami. It was at this fair that he first exhibited his trademark organic shapes made of congealed natural fibers and textures that are ready to take life. This recognition made his name as a designer to watch.

Vincenzo De Cotiis

‘DC 1609’ lamp 是‘Progetto Domestico’系列中的一件作品。当代制造技术与实验程序相结合，有助于利用再生部件形成加工材料。这个持续的内部项目提供了理解和见证日常物品在一个聚光灯下，超越其原有的目的的可能性的视角。灯的部件的特点是随时间而磨损、变形的材料，以意想不到的形状再次出现，这些作品唤起了对的工业化的回忆。

Vincenzo de Cotiis likes to describe his work as a ‘perfect imperfection’. Mixing: ‘old’ with ‘new’, ‘precious’ with ‘industrial’ as well as combining ‘rough’ and ‘raw’ textures with ‘smooth’ and ‘polished’ surfaces, the designer blends both past and present to create transformative and organic pieces.

The ‘DC 1609’ lamp, is part of the ‘Progetto Domestico’ collection. Contemporary techniques of manufacturing combine with experimental procedures that help shape processed materials with recycled parts. This ongoing interiors project offers the possibility of understanding and witnessing everyday objects in a spotlight that outshines its original purpose. Characterized by materials worn and deformed by time that come to life again in unexpected shapes, the pieces evoke luxurious industrialisation.

Ingrid Donat

Ingrid Donat掌握各种材料，包括丰富的自然资源，如青铜和皮革。她还将稀有材料如羊皮纸等加入她的设计作品中，这可以在本次展览中展示的“Floor Lamp”的灯罩上看到。设计师作品中的一些常用的元素：循环，正方形，圆圈，环，订书钉，线，交织等，如释放的词汇一般占据作品的表面。

After a major retrospective at the New York gallery at the end of 2016, Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents the designer’s ‘Floor Lamp’ showing clear sign of the designer’s inspiration taken from tribal art.

Ingrid Donat masters a variety of materials that include rich, natural resources such as bronze and leather. She also incorporates rarer materials into her work such as parchment one can see on the lampshade of the ‘Floor Lamp’ revealed in this exhibition. The designer also deals with her repertoire of signs: loops, squares, circles, rings, staples, lines, interlacing… repeated and obsessive patterns that take possession of the surface, such as a released litany.

Johanna Grawunder

Johanna Grawunder的概念灯通过优雅的复杂形式探索技术的极限。小而素，她的雕塑灯具看起来像漂浮在空中，创造出视觉上的错觉。

Johanna Grawunder began her career as an architect before turning into lighting design. Her conceptual lights explore the possibilities of technology through elegant sophisticated forms. Minimal and sober, her lighting sculptures seem like vanishing installations floating in the air, creating optical illusions.

Playing with the material reflections, transparencies and opacities, light trajectories and deviations, the designer perfectly handles the physicial properties and sensitivities of the materials and surfaces she combines to design magical illuminated objects.

Stuart Haygarth

英国艺术家Stuart Haygarth的“Raft Cats”是由数百个陶瓷猫雕像组成的灯。一件讽刺和幽默的作品，概念来自于和家庭环境息息相关的和被忽略的日常生活的对象。

‘Raft Cats’ by British artist Stuart Haygarth is a light made up of hundreds of ceramic cat figurines. A sarcastic and humoristic object interrogating the notion of collection and the everyday life objects surrounding our domestic environments and collective unconscious.

The artist has a room in his East London studio dedicated to the sorting and classification of found objects that he re-uses for his sculptures.

Mathieu Lehanneur

第一件作品是从罕见的玫瑰石英与手工吹制玻璃结合的S.M.O.K.E系列。 Mathieu Lehanneur 展示了他的标志性的枝形吊灯“Les Cordes”，而且此次将首次展示与“Les Cordes”相同的玻璃成型技术的新系列小型台灯。

Mathieu Lehanneur will exhibit a solo show during ‘Art Light’ with three works representing the different threads of his sculptural research.

The first work is from the S.M.O.K.E series which combines rare quality rose-quartz with hand-blown glass. It will be accompanied by his iconic chandelier piece ‘Les Cordes’ which evolved from an original commission for the Château Borély – home to Marseille’s Decorative Arts Museum. Finally, a new series of smaller table lights that use the same glass-forming techniques as ‘Les Cordes’ will be exhibited for the first time.

Frederik Molenschot

Frederik Molenschot 令人印象深刻的青铜吊灯作品“CL Manhattan”在本次展览中展出。这件作品的灵感来自未来的夜间城市风景，它展示了设计师对人们周围的公共空间的内的人造元素和自然元素的极大兴趣。

Born in the Netherlands in 1981 and a graduate of the renowned Design Academy in Eindhoven, Frederik Molenschot is part of the internationally acclaimed Dutch Design movement. Molenschot founded Studio Molen in 2005 and has been working with a group of talented professionals in the eld of art and design ever since.

An impressive bronze chandelier, ‘CL Manhattan’, will be shown in this exhibition. Inspired by futuristic nocturnal cityscapes, this work reveals the designer’s deep interest in the artificial and natural elements of our surroundings in public spaces.

The gallery will also celebrate the designer’s ‘Cosmos’ series of smaller works focused on the delicacy of the light shades used in his larger chandeliers. An exercise in skilful bronze patination, the darker shade encasing contrasts dramatically against the brilliance of the polished gold surface inside, lit by a poignant LED inside.

Random International

Random International的“Swarm Study”系列作品是一个从工作室成立以来持续探索的项目。装置通过运动和光线三维模拟群体行为。照明装置的“swarm”如同生物一般，感应其附近的人的存在。

Random International’s ‘Swarm Study’ series is an ongoing exploration of collective behaviour — a sustained interest of the studio since its inception. The installations simulate swarming behaviour three dimensionally, through movement and light. The illuminated ‘swarm’ responds to the presence of those within its vicinity, inhabiting the spatial sphere autonomously, as though it were a living thing.

Giacomo Ravagli & Barometro

Giacomo Ravagli的“Barometro”系列将温暖色调和强劲锯齿形式融合，采用了来自专业供应商供应的高品质的大理石。精湛的铜焊接技术创造了一个具有剧性照明效果的装置。

With a juxtaposion of warm tones and strong jagged forms, Giacomo Ravagli’s ‘Barometro’ series uses high grade marble sourced from a close network of expert merchants that the artist has built up over his career. Skilfully welded brass completes the work creating a dramatic effect on the position of the illumination.

The hexagonal forms create architectural pieces that are both contemporary and classic, harmonizing function and design. Giacomo Ravagli’s latest work in the series, standing at around 7 foot-high, was created with the team at the gallery’s research and development center in Roissy, in the outskirts of Paris and is one of the most ambitious projects Carpenters Workshop Gallery has collaborated on.

Studio Drift & Fragile Future Chandelier New York

Carpenters Workshop画廊有幸展出Studio Drift的令人惊叹的“Fragile Future Chandelier New York”作品。以阿姆斯特丹为本部的设计工作室的作品是一个站点特定的照明装置，它可以直接与其周围环境进行互动。

光模仿了一群鸟在飞行中的行为，象征着群体的安全和个人的自由之间的人类的冲突。它由精细的玻璃管组成，可以响应外部刺激以不可预测的方式点亮。

Carpenters Workshop Gallery is pleased to present Studio Drift’s stunning worl ‘Fragile Future Chandelier New York’. The Amsterdam-based design studio’s work is a site-specific light installation that directly interacts with its surroundings.

The light mimics the behaviour of a flock of birds in flight, symbolizing the conflict between humans, the safety of a group and the freedom of the individual. It is made up of delicate glass tubes that light up in an unpredictable way, partially responsive to external stimuli.

Studio Job

来自荷兰/比利时的Studio Job工作室的代表作品在本次展览中展出，如“香蕉灯”系列，“黑猫”或“埃菲尔铁塔”。这些作品巧妙地将色情图像传统装饰结合。这些作品还在2016年纽约MAD（艺术和设计博物馆）举办的回顾展中展出。

Emblematic pieces by the Dutch/Belgian duo Studio Job’will be shown in this exhibition such as the ‘Banana Lamp’ series, ‘Black cat’ or the ‘Tour Eiffel Lamp’. These works subtly play with erotic imagery combined with decorative tradition. The works have recently been included as part of a retrospective dedicated to them at the MAD (Museum of Art and Design) in New York in 2016.

Despite the humour in their work, Studio Job take craftsmanship very seriously. There are no fewer than 25 artisans found in their studio combining traditional crafts with contemporary techniques like 3D printing to create their repertoire. Studio Job has pieces in 40 museums globally, and they have exhibited in countless shows in the world’s best galleries.

Charles Trevelyan

Charles Trevelyan展示了他的作品“Circumspect I”和 “Askance”。这些大型的金属落地雕塑灯展示了自然与超自然雕塑形式的结合。

The works ‘Circumspect I’ and ‘Askance’ will be presented by Australian artist Charles Trevelyan. These works are large standing lighting sculptures in metal which demonstrate a meeting of natural and supernatural sculpted forms.

His desire for creativity leaded him to study sculpture, art history and philosophy. While playing in a band, he also took on sculptural commissions and graphic design work for the band’s album covers. At the end of 2000, he moved to the UK where he continued working as a graphic designer, but with a closer interest in furniture and product design.

Morgane Tschiember & Open Space

Morgane Tschiember的“Open Space”系列作品在展览中被展出。这些作品使用荧光灯和混凝土来创造发光的形状。作品强调参与性，作品给人的印象将随着欣赏者欣赏作品的视角和位置而变化。

After recently joining the gallery Morgane Tschiember’s works from the ‘Open Space’ series will also be shown. The works use fluorescent lighting and concrete to create luminescent shapes. Engaging works, the perspective of the pieces changes depending on how and where they are viewed.

It recalls the artist’s fondness for creating three-dimensional structures that are juxtaposed against their surroundings. Morgane Tschiember often uses bright color in her sculptures to engage the viewer in a cerebral experience forcing them to contemplate on the work’s reality.

Erwin Wurm & Director’s Girfriend

Erwin Wurm的作品扭曲了观众的现实，他的“Director’s Girfriend”同样是这样，这些作品总是让观赏者忍不住再洗欣赏。超现实的雕塑制造出了漂浮的幻觉，灯的光线巧妙地分散，作品名字引人深思。

Always in demand of a second look, Erwin Wurm’s works distort the viewers reality, his ‘Director’s Girfriend’ on show as part of ‘Artlight’ is no different. The surreal sculpture which appears almost as a hallucination, features a floating mass on which the light cleverly disperses, the works title leaving us lost and pensive.

In his ability to manipulate reality, Erwin Wurm claims to use “humor to seduce people”. This approach has garnered him international attention with his work exhibited in public locations around the world.

The Austrian artist is well known for his “One Minute Sculptures,” and his work can be seen in the permanent collections of celebrated museums such as the Guggenheim and the Centre Pompidou.
