deconstructing and utilizing the structural components of their temporary central bar seen previously at this year’s 100% design london, UK-based design team melissa appleton and matthew butcher of post works have created ‘just the flip side of the wall’ inside the architecture foundation’s project space. a series of theatrical props and typically architectural elements, including rigging, curtains,
lighting and screens are used to explore the effect of these objects on the surrounding space. the overall installation is made to look like an exploded architectural drawing.
the environment is meant to be flexible, showcasing not only the original pieces but their growth throughout the exhibit. as guest artists and designers visit the space, they will add to the collection, modifying the content through sculptural work, prints and drawings, sometimes directly on the exhibit itself. throughout scheduled events, such as lectures, film screenings and performances, the components will continuously be altered to effect the relationship between the original gallery space and the visitors.
