For over 40 years now Piet Stockmans (born 1940) has cherished the medium of porcelain in all its facets: he designs industrially produced dishware, he manufactures artisanal objects and he creates artistic installations.
3 july > 24 oktober 2010Super Normal: Sensations of the ordinary
An exhibition of known and less known objects from everywhere selected by the designers Naoto Fukasawa and Jasper Morrison. Super Normal is more than a curatorial strategy. It’s a project denoting a positive
feeling of esteem for objects who, according to the exhibition curators, radiate something good. It is rooted in the designers’ shared belief that the objects we most enjoy using and looking at often seem, at first sight, quietly unremarkable because there is nothing conventionally spectacular about them.
Super Normal is about sensations of the ordinary, whose characteristics can be put into words but are best revealed through the objects themselves.
For Sterckshof Silver Museum, Nilton Cunha produced the work Good Luck in silver and Corian. In this work, three rounded triangles, reminiscent of cloverleaves, intuitively formed a whole and were placed on a large, irregularly-shaped sheet of white Corian. For Nilton Cunha Good Luck is the emanation of two cultures, which have gradually become complicit and complementary. This symbiosis is the culmination of his joy and happiness.
