Oh Shit

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Few weeks ago American artist Dan Colen presented Karma, his first solo show in Italy. The exhibition, held at Massimo De Carlo, features the installation Oh Shit, a 15m long and 5m tall wooden structure that resembles a skateboard ramp and frames the painting Moments Like This Never Last (No. 2) through its large holes.  To develop and build the daring construction Dan Colen asked advise to studiometrico and Atelier LC.

Un autre projet perdu ?

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

A year ago we had the great opportunity to be introduced to a famous painter. He needed help to transform an old industrial space into his new, equipped, atelier. We took the task very seriously: we flew over to visit the building and receive his brief, we set up a deadline and we even started a language course to facilitate the communication with our new ‘potential’ client.
We worked intensively and we presented a consistent design proposal with architectural drawings, diagrams, collages and a 1:50 scale model.
