the sea pt 1.
"the sea is a long, long way from me
I'd go there if I had the time
but lying here will do just fine" - low


VIJA CELMINS: "Well, I found the work of the photorealists a bit dead, but I got interested in the photograph. I used the photograph as a guide, so I would not have to worry about the image. They are images within an image within an image -drawings of two-dimensional images. I was trying to bring the images back to life by putting them in a real space that you confront. I don't think anyone else was making work like this at the time, not clippings of disastrous events. Now they look a bit ridiculous to me.

They look almost too contrived. Of course, I didn't really think like that at the time. I remember thinking that the making of the image was reason enough to do it. It was about finding a touch; a way that the image could sit on the surface. The whole point for me was that even though art has been through a million things, I wanted to get in touch with something more primitive than my wandering and skipping brain." (here)


Mike Wallace: When you go out into a big forest with towering pines and [experience] almost a feeling of awe that frequently you do get in the presence of nature...do you not feel insignificant? Do you not feel small?

Frank Llyod Wright: On the contrary, I feel large. I feel enlarged and encouraged. Intensified. More powerful.

Manfred Kielnhofer’s Tube Chairs Made from Recycled Newspapers These environmentally friendly chairs by Manfred Kielnhofer are made from recycled newspapers and are surprisingly stylish.

"So every chair should be practical."

-Adolf Loos

"So every chair should be practical. '
If manufacturers made only practical chairs,
then people would be able to furnish their rooms perfectly without
the assistance of the interior designer.

Perfect furniture produces perfect rooms."

Adolf Loos, Architect
1870 - 1933,
excerpt from "Ornament and Crime"

Good taste really bothers us a lot.












We are not at war against any aesthetic movement. We act for ourselves without any will to prophesize. Our hope is to give people the feeling of freedom in the choice of forms.

Good taste really bothers us a lot. What we care about is implanting doubt. We don't have any rules. What interests us is a personal and artisanal putting together of things.
