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.

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.

SUMMER IN ITALY BY CAROLYN MEYER

Carolyn Meyer's thick impasto conveys the tales the Tuscan land has to tell. A departure from paintings that capture the energy drawn from traffic and the streets of San Francisco,Summer in Italy expresses the warmth and richness of a region that is generous in her gifts. It is Meyer's bold style that is a reflection of the unabashed thrust of Tuscan nature in the summertime; the paint is a sensuous tool that translates the languid days in the sun.

Artist: Carolyn Meyer

Summer in Italy, an exhibition of new paintings by Carolyn Meyer runs at the Concourse Gallery at 555 California Street, San Francisco through May 7, 2010.

The Tank by Pharrell Williams

A chair designed by American recording artist and producer Pharrell Williams will be on show at Gallerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris next week.

Called The Tank, the piece consists of a leather seat on a plexiglass base that references caterpillar tracks.

Photographs are by Guillaume Ziccarelli, courtesy Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin.

Here's a little text from the gallery and some words by Williams:

---

The Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery presents, on apointment, from 30 March the new design creation of Pharrell Williams, a chair entitled The Tank.

After completing the chair Perspective, conceived as a reflection on love, and the sculpture The Simple Things, a collaboration with the artist Takashi Murakami, Pharrell Williams tackles the theme of war.

How does a young person decide to engage in a battle that does not seem to be hers/his ?

I'm standing in the mirror…
Shadow boxing…
Kicking ass….
And I thought, how laughable the macho version of me…
Ha…
But could I be?
It takes guts and a reason… or is innate?
Is it simply in man's nature to fight and show his colors of heart… the scars of experience?
Things he does not like…
So he…
Fights..
One man once said, »war is not the answer»…
But those of us born to this world, ambitious with the taste of change may not always
Understand the social methods of the same.
Instead, we seek and cure our curiosities with sharing our views by any means of a vessel; expression.
We believe Art is the alteration of existence and that which provokes thought.
So, in reference to Marvin Gaye's brilliant question, I asked myself, «what was the question?»…
When my thought was met with a silence that was so thick it could be cut, it made me ask myself this…..
»Then what must it be like to be young and serve?»…»What if you couldn't pay your tuition?»…
»What if it is simply family tradition?»..»What if you thought it was the right thing to do?»…
Wow, to sit in the seats of our youth (as well as others)… fighting for a series of reasons most of
Which can be argued and debated but being young and having your own reason?…
Whoa.
To wake up and make up your mind that you've found a reason to stand amongst the brave
Where loss at least on some levels are inevitable, even if it's just time..
The only answer is that which is square.
«Intention» divided by «behavior» which is then divided by «reality» should equal to one's truth.
Yes, our government, too, should exercise this regularly…
If we would spend «love» and «time» like we do «money», we'd never go broke…
But then again who am I trying to fool or what am I trying to fix?
I'm just a guy in the mirror trying to imagine what it must feel like to be young… headed into war…
I'm sorry, how rude of me…
I've left you standing…
I'm sorry, please do…
Have a seat.
