UNPLUGGED ITALY, curated by Prof. Gennaro Postiglione and edited by LetteraVentidue is now available! The book originates from the exhibition and the lectures organized at the AHO last year and features 3 projects by studiometrico. You can browse a preview or buy the entire book here.

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. See few images of the installation after the break.

Berlin_los Angeles. A Tale Of Two (other) Cities has opened on the 12 of November at the Massimo De Carlo Gallery in Milan. The collective exhibition explores new trends in contemporary art through the work of young artists like Klara Liden, Josef Strau, Klaus Weber, Dan Rees, Kirstine Roepstorff, Maximilian Zentz Zlomowitz, Simon Fujiwara, Scott Olson, Frank Benson, Elad Lassry and Kaari Upson. studiometrico has designed a platform with two reading tables that allow visitors to browse through catalogs, books and magazine about the two cities.

The Project

The 4×5 m wooden platform divides the main exhibition space in two parts and features two reading tables (one for each city) and 8 small benches. The structure has been realized in MDF fibreboard panels that were pre-cutted according to given dimensions and quickly assembled on site.

The Construction

Once assembled, the platform, the reading tables  and the benches have been covered with a fibre glass wall covering to level and make uniform the surfaces. The material – called Gavatex – is produced by the Italian company Gavazzi and has been glued on the MDF panels and then painted with a warm grey color that matches the one of the concrete floor of the exhibition space.

AHO – Oslo Architecture school – hosted the exhibition edited by Gennaro Postiglione as well as the second set of lectures that featured AION (Siracusa), 2A+P/A (Roma) and studiometrico. We publish here some pictures from Oslo and a digital version of the booklet – featuring 3 of our projects – that we produced for the occasion.
