Eames Bird y El Cadaver Exquisito

Un cadaver exquisito

La técnica del cadaver exquisito, utilizada por los surrealistas, consiste en la creación de una obra colectiva a partir del ensamblaje de un conjunto de aportaciones. En este caso, la clásica silueta de un cadàver dibujada con tiza en el suelo es el punto de partida para las creaciones de diseñadores gráficos, ilustradores, fotógrafos y un escritor. 26 artistas, 26 historias y otras tantas obras de arte para una exposición curiosa y fascinante.

Eames lazy bird


The conceptual weight of a design and the consumption of American culture are the focus of "XLounge" by Mark Wentzel. Wentzel explores the masterful design of the Eames Lounge Chair and it's significance today. His interest in the design revolves around the gap between the public's endearment for old products and it's commitment to increasingly transitory "cutting edge" products. Wentzel believes this gap to be fertile ground for creative expression. XLounge takes on the responsibilities of it's time of creation, as Wentzel states all works should, by relying on the ingeniousness of the sleek Eames Lounge Chair design while displaying the disproportionate consumption of Americans.

Lounge can be seen at the Project 4 Gallery as part of the "Useless" exhibit.
