campana brothers at moss new york design week 2010


'fossils'


'fossils' designed by fernando and humberto campana and manufactured by corsi are new
additions to the nativo campana collection, produced in resin in combination with other materials.
created especially for moss, this series features vessels with various snakes, assorted insects
and other creatures embedded in the amber-like resin.





amongst the work of many other designers, 'fossils' is being presented as part of
'poetic license: deliberate deviations from normally applicable rules and practices',
an exhibition hosted by moss during new york design week 2010. the list of designers
includes michele de lucchi, mathias bengtsson, michael anastassiades, R&Sie(n)/francois roche,
oskar zieta, patrick jouin, finn magee, flos and works by mark alexander, josh smith
and philippe parreno from the collection of thea westreich and ethan wagner. through new
inventions, each of the designers featured seeks to overcome the boundaries of their previous
work with experimentations in a variety of media. the show will open may 16 and run
until june 26, 2010.

Monica,
I disagree.
Iridescent vases with applied snakes were hot during Art Nouveau. Symbolism of the duality of nature and the differences between temptation and sin was an integral aspect. This is a contemporary re-interpretation of it.
"Kitsch and decadent", maybe, the Campana Brothers however express a similar apocalyptic sense of end of a phase of civilization, in a playful manner.
Rebecca   05.02.10
parodies of pre-modern kitsch. Art nouveau was similar.
Monica   05.02.10
The more I look at this, the more I like it.. strange :)
