Perusing pages of materiality in Brian Thoreen's ‘Paragraphic in Four Stacks’
ibit.ly/44lVX
Can a stack of paper make a statement?
American designer and artist Brian Thoreen reimagines manila paper stacks as innovative furniture. Through gluing wrinkled sheets of paper in select areas, he creates striking chairs that challenge conventional notions of everyday materials. These pieces celebrate the industrial paper’s inherent properties, blending structured geometries with playful imperfections, offering a distinctive look that is both sturdy and fragile.

'Gianni Pettena: Anarchitecture' presents a radical view of the discipline
ibit.ly/ieoNj
What other ways of practice are possible apart from building? Can we consider an architecture that concerns itself only with a critique of what surrounds it, or a critique of our relationship with the world? This question, central to the Radical Movement in Italy, is explored in the exhibition ‘Gianni Pettena: Anarchitecture’ at Crac Occitanie, showcasing his immersive installations, videos, and sculptures from 1966 to today.

#Partnership
Artist Harland Miller gives us a glimpse into his studio whilst talking about his involvement in #ArtForYourWorld. Recently he joined a WWF UK led research trip to the Isle of Skye and Oban in Scotland to learn about the seaweed farming industry and its importance to future ocean health and climate mitigation.
He is now working on a piece in response to this that will be sold to support several @wwf_uk projects #ArtForYourWorld is supporting in 2024 centred around seaweed and coral.

The angled Humo House in Chile is 'an exercise on domestic dichotomies'
ibit.ly/sn44M
The austere grey Humo House is situated in a natural clearing in the south of Chile, conceived as "an exercise on domestic dichotomies." Its two faces split in half, plunging its roof and dividing its spaces to accommodate its separately cohabiting owners.
This project was developed by Iván Bravo Arquitectos with Martín Rojas Ortiz (associate architect), who describe the cubic residence as an "articulation of opposing pairs… the subtle point where privacy and intimacy meet with reunion and publicity."

The feature project of Art For Your World in 2024: Art For Your Oceans
#Partnership
Artist Emma Talbot speaks about her response to joining a WWF UK research trip to the Isle of Skye and Oban in Scotland to learn about the seaweed farming industry and its importance to future ocean health and climate mitigation.
She was especially taken with the sustainable ink developed and produced from seaweed by biotechnology company OCEANIUM and has since been experimenting with it in her practice. This unique ink is the world’s first sustainable and fully biodegradable water-based ink that is derived from seaweed instead of traditional solvent based inks and is an example of its potential value as a nature-based tool to fight climate change.

Birdie® emulates the ‘canary in the coal mine’ to monitor indoor air quality
https://ibit.ly/0sPtW
Birdie® Fresh Air Monitor™, developed by Andreas Kofoed Sørensen and Hans Høite Augustenborg, is a visible solution for the invisible problem of poor air quality. Referencing the canary which mine workers carried to the coal mine to detect toxic gases, Birdie®, which comes with a built-in CO2-sensor, drops when the air quality deteriorates, until the user opens their windows and lets some fresh air in to bring it back to life.

The feature project of Art For Your World in 2024: Art For Your Oceans
#partnership
@artwisecurators have been working with WWF UK for over a decade to foster multiple art-led initiatives that aim to galvanise the art world in the fight against climate change.
This year #ArtForYourWorld is focused on supporting WWFs mission to give oceans a healthier future by raising money and awareness for specific projects centred around seaweed and coral. We took a group of artists on a research trip to the Isle of Skye and Oban in Scotland to discover more about the seaweed farming industry and the importance of seaweed to ocean health and climate mitigation. The artists visited local industry leaders where they heard talks from experts around the power of seaweed to provide a sustainable alternative to a multitude of products including plastic, cosmetics and even ink. The artists have been commissioned to create a work in response to this that will be sold to raise funds for the @wwf_uk ocean focused projects #ArtForYourWorld is supporting in 2024.
