Damaged Goods by Barnaby Barford



It is the classic tale of boy meets girl, two star-crossed lovers whose peaceful courtship is prevented by an older gentleman with a pair of ferocious porcelain poodles. But the friendly circus folk try to lend a hand and the tragedy eventually has a happy ending. Barnaby Barford's brilliant animated film has a cast of ceramic characters who come back to star in sculptural works that are three-dimensional scenes from the film -- a must-see.

Artist: Barnaby Barford

Lace in Translation



Lace is the inspiration for an exhibition at The Design Center at Philadelphia University featuring the work of Tord Boontje, Demakersvan and Cal Lane. Lace in Translation features intricate installations that are contemporary updates on an ancient craft. Demakersvan creates a lacy chain link fence, shown above; Lane welds an oil tank into a display of filigree and urns a lacy scroll into a lawn; Boontje makes a sofa out of a spider web. We are reminded that lace doesn't have to be related to textiles anymore.

Artists: Demakersvan, Cal Lane & Tord Boontje

Lace in Translation runs through April 3, 2010 at The Design Center at Philadelphia University.
