Picture Piranha 1: Nerina photo by Justin Patrick
Southern Guild, of Cape Town, South Africa, is set to be part of the London Design Biennale September 7 to 27, 2016 at Somerset House (Strand,
London). Their participation will be in the form of an installation by designer, artist, philosopher, Porky Hefer (calling him philospopher is my input since his work is much more than what is on the surface).

Hefer contribution here, created by hand at Woodheads leather merchants (also of Cape Town) consists of work depciting five animals: M.Heloise (manta ray), Crocodylus Eugenie (crocodile), Lolita Blackfish (lover whale), Piranha 1: Nerina (piranha) and Panthera leo. The last of these is a Hefer self-portrait.

You can read our interview with Hefer HERE.

The London Design Biennale will feature work from 35 countries and was founded by the people who organize the London Design Festival. It takes place at the same time as that fair. The idea is to bring designers together to debate and discuss design innovation. The theme of the biennale is Utopia by Design.

Southern Guild is a gallery conceived and run by Trevyn and Julian McGowan.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Presents Sarah Oppenheimer's "S-281913" September 30, 2016 To April 30, 2017

8/9/2016

Picture
Pérez Art Museum Miami presents Sarah Oppenheimer's S-281913 September 30, 2016 to April 30, 2017. This new work by the artist is a bridge between art, architecture and engineering. The artist changes space both mixing up and making clear the structures we inhabit. She raises questions and offers a new philosophy with regard to buildings.

Housed on the museum's second floor, S-281913 is made up of two architectural “switches.” These are rotating glass elements that alternate between being reflective and transparent (depending on the light or where you are standing).
These switches work independently and together relaying different lines of sight. Your orientation will fluctuate as the switches move. Something that seemed far away will suddenly be close (and visa versa).

Oppenheimer, from Austin but now living in NYC, holds an MFA from Yale. She has had solo exhibitions at numerous institutions around the world and, in addition to this work at the Pérez, is set have major solo exhibits at Wexner
Center for the Arts (2017) and Mass MoCA (2019).
