*** THE BAKERY OF BLOK ***

Single channel video/audio. Wood, glue, acrylic paint. Digital colour print on photographic paper.

An Exhibition of works by Zin Taylor.

Monsieur Zin Taylor lives in Brussels where he developed the works for this exhibition using common forms and found materials to construct an imagined narrative. Monsieur Taylor has assembled his related group of works in different media to suggest the culturally rich metaphor
of bread making – a process involving basic elements, activating agents, chemistry and time.
In a narrative of transformation generated from eight abandoned blocks of wood from a closed bakery, Monsieur Taylor explores the development of sculptural form as a densely layered
process that resembles organic growth.

"GLOBAL LAUNCH"

- What has Architecture Done for You Lately? -

Architecture is connected to virtually everything we do, every part of society, and every human interaction, but do we know how to design in today’s world? Are we aware of the immense interconnectedness of architecture to every facet of our lives? By exploring architecture through the lens of economics, equality, emotion, health, and the environment, we can discover the potential and the power of mobilizing global citizens to become the architects of the future built environment.

The Design Exchange is excited to host the global launch of What Has Architecture Done For You Lately?, an exhibit creating a new vernacular around architecture as a critical social and global issue challenging our world today. It highlights architecture as it intersects with every aspect of our lives. The exhibition – which uses conceptual art to generate dialogue – explores how best to transcend the stereotypes surrounding architecture, so as to make it dynamic, accessible, and generate awareness that every global citizen is actively involved in this discipline – whether consciously or subconsciously.

"a care which is soft, gentle and extremely affectionate"

An Exhibition of recent paintings by Tooran Zandieh.

Tooran Zandieh measures things with all the care of the world, a care which is soft, gentle and extremely affectionate. Because each piece is going to come and stand by the next piece and the next pieces, and together they are going to make other wholes which had not existed before. And the last stage of things is a blinding caressing of the eyes by the colours and shapes that have gathered together on the space of femininity..

"Empty Lots"
An Exhibition of work by Chad gerth.

Installed at Art Chicago, Chad Gerth's photo series Empty Lots represents
Chicago's urban cityscape though imagery of vacant lots from above.
The resulting planes of shape and colour portray the city not through its
distinctive skyline, but through the flatness of its natural terrain
.

The modernist construction of the urban area is exemplified by the rigidly
defined boundaries of both the city's grid and the tightly cropped and
carefully composed photographs
.

Till May 4 2009, Au 4 Mai 2009.

"The Unusual Space"

An Exhibition of an installation by Matthew Nye.

Installation artist and interior architect, Matthew Nye applies contemporary architectural
form to the design of an eighties office interior. With a tongue in cheek nod to that dated
but ubiquitous setting; an anomalous protrusion renders the space unusable, suggesting
an instantaneous occurrence or a mistake. The combinations of architectural language create
both a visual awe and a discomfort which address the highly subjective manner in which
we appreciate the built environment
.
