SUMMARY:Paul Cocksedge: Performance
DESCRIPTION:Friedman Benda is pleased to present British designer Paul Cocksedge’s fourth solo show with the gallery entitled Performance. The exhibition explores the processes of craft with three bodies of work that capture and express their theatricality in material form: Performance\, Push and Excavation. Examining the relationship between maker and audience\, and the idea of the outsider watching the craftsperson at work\, each series is a vehicle for storytelling\, drawing inspiration from and abstracting the physical process of making. \nThe Performance series follows the centuries-old technique of glassblowing\, one that Cocksedge has been interested in for over a decade. For this series\, Cocksedge synthesized the finished blown glass objects and the tools and materials used in this process to create his final works. Cherry wood molds have been shaped and finished using CNC-cutting\, and molten glass blown into them to create a singular glass object. Rather than discarding the blackened and burnt wood after use\, it has been rotated\, moved\, twisted\, cut up and reassembled like a puzzle\, and transformed into a piece of furniture that sits beneath the suspended glass object. For one table\, Cocksedge sliced metal to create infinite possible variations similar to a digital code\, with the result reminiscent of a canvas filled with lines and forms\, that the viewer is left to decode. \nThe Push series brings giant blocks of concrete together with sheets of metal\, curled up like large paper quills and inserted into the blocks where they unfurl and lock into place. These large-scale sculptural seating works explore the tension between the two materials through the cantilever and the drastic contrast between the two materials. \nThis exhibition also presents Excavation\, the follow-up to Cocksedge’s acclaimed Excavation: Evicted series\, which saw him turn concrete cores mined from beneath his studio into pieces of furniture. For Excavation\, the designer collected cores drilled from around the country by essential workers during lockdown\, which were used to blow glass to create a suspended lighting fixture to accompany the piece.  As such\, the process is a kind of record of the pandemic\, capturing a moment in time. “They’re not just any random block of concrete\, they’re part of a moment in time when the world felt upside down\,” says Cocksedge. \nARTIST STATEMENT \nI’ve spent years watching glassblowers\, and feeling like an observer seeing a performer. I wanted to express the relationship between maker and audience with this body of work\, and close the distance between the two. It’s about capturing the physicality of the making – the heat\, the marks\, the smell and the burning. Usually\, the pristine end product is the focus\, but I wanted to bring the rawness of the actual process to the forefront.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Trayte: MelonMelon Tangerine
DESCRIPTION:Friedman Benda is pleased to present MelonMelonTangerine\, British artist Jonathan Trayte’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. Informed by Trayte’s recent 2000-mile road trip through the Western United States\, MelonMelonTangerine offers an outsider’s perspective on the American landscape. As an avid observer\, Trayte poignantly examines the ways in which we perceive and utilize natural resources through his signature tongue-in-cheek sensibility. \nWith a keen perception and eye for the obscure\, Trayte finds the surreal in our everyday surroundings and within the fabric of daily life. Realized while in isolation amidst the current pandemic\, he recalls hazy visions of sedimentary rock formations\, Joshua trees\, lichens\, silver cholla cacti and prickly pear fruits to inform this new body of work. A visual raconteur\, Trayte reimagines natural forms while appropriating highly stylized motifs from product packaging and advertising ephemera as a nuanced commentary on the universal language of consumerism. Embracing contradictions between the organic and the artificial\, he uses the American archetype of the Wild West to examine the rampant excess and waste inherent in today’s society. \n“Color is so important as a means of persuasion\, persuading people to consume in particular kinds of ways\, or in appealing to specific social groups. I create synthetic painted veneers and compositions of materials that either reflect or distort this language; they’re like skins of paint or textures that create a kind of chameleon appearance\,” says Trayte. \nAs a nod to Pop art\, Trayte subverts the still-life genre\, probing tensions between familiarity and displacement. Aimed to transport the viewer to an otherworldly botanical garden\, the exhibition debuts his most ambitious work to date including a large palm-like swing seat and a fantastical illuminated cantilever bench rendered on a massive scale. Using vivid hues and innovative processes\, the result is an imaginary dreamscape – a surreal collage of color\, materials\, forms and textures.

SUMMARY:Split Personality l Curated by Alice Stori Lichtenstein
DESCRIPTION:Friedman Benda is pleased to present its seventh annual guest-curated exhibition Split Personality. Curated by Alice Stori Liechtenstein\, independent curator and founder of Schloss Hollenegg for Design\, the exhibition explores how functional objects undergo a process of mutation to acquire symbolic value\, and thus develop split personalities that oscillate between their different identities.\n\nThe works on display at Friedman Benda\, ambiguously classifiable as chairs\, tables\, rugs\, are meant as furniture of practical and comfortable nature. And yet\, as the curator Alice Stori Liechtenstein puts it\, “the personality and implicit meaning of these pieces are so assertive that they appear to be at odds with the function.” In the course of history\, objects (and furniture in our specific case) were rarely valued and made purely for their function. They have always carried specific cultural\, subjective or philosophical messages. Objects are used to characterize\, communicate and develop our sense of self and construct our own identity. The idea that objects might have a split personality might help us to recognize the different identities they are capable of embodying\, and acknowledge their power to be alternatively functional furniture or conveyors of meaning.\n\nArtists and designers on view include: Arnaud Eubelen\, Chris Schanck\, Christien Meindertsma\, Commonplace Studio\, Emma Fague\, Fernando Laposse\, Ismael Rifai\, Jonathan Trayte\, Katie Stout\, mischer’traxler\, Nobukho Nqaba\, Rich Aybar\, Soft Baroque\, Brynjar Sigurdarson\, Studio Wieki Somers\, Thomas Ballouhey\, and Toomas Toomepuu.\n\nABOUT ALICE STORI LIECHTENSTEIN\nAlice Stori Liechtenstein (Milan\, 1978) is an independent curator specialised in contemporary design. After studying architecture and design in Milan and Barcelona\, she worked a number of years as exhibition designer. From 2014 to 2017 she wrote a daily design blog\, during which time she started analysing the changes in the disciplines related to design. She is the founder of Schloss Hollenegg for Design\, an international project based in Austria\, to support design culture by offering an exhibition platform and a residency program to young emerging designers. She has curated Operae in Turin in 2017\, Design after Darwin in Venice in 2018\, Alcova Sassetti in Milan in 2019. She is a public speaker and lecturer for the Exhibition Design Master at the FH Joanneum in Graz.

SUMMARY:What Would Have Been
DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, Friedman Benda will open an expansive exhibition called What Would Have Been. On the heels of a tumultuous and unprecedented cycle of global events\, the gallery will share a trove of design from over 30 studios originally destined for exhibition in galleries\, fairs\, and museums across five continents. \nWhat Would Have Been shows us what we have been missing and points forward; it fills in the blank spaces\, offers new direction and represents a coming together of voices. The show tells a story of design that juxtaposes established designers with newcomers without predictability from either\, and prompts a re-examination of assumptions consistent with current events at large. \nThe exhibition makes accessible design that lost its intended platform; works shown briefly before museum doors closed or failed to open at all in Atlanta\, Ghent\, Melbourne\, New York\, Rio de Janeiro\, Tokyo\, Shanghai\, Wiltshire\, and further; works commissioned for festivals and art fairs including the London Biennale\, TEFAF\, The Salon\, Design Miami Basel; and works that were slated for the gallery in Chelsea before the New York art community shutdown. \nWhat Would Have Been provides a platform not only for work that lost its expected audience in 2020 but gives a first opportunity to engage with bodies of work and narratives that have come to brilliant fruition during this same time period.  They emerged because of\, or in spite of\, the seismic shifts in the familiar political\, social\, and economic order.  They are an affirmation of what can be accomplished when society retreats physically but remains hyper-connected digitally.  And they represent the uninterrupted dialogue and partnership with makers\, studios\, museums\, and design audiences across the world that is at the heart of the gallery mission. \nConsistent with the period that inspired it\, What Would Have Been takes place not only in the gallery but also online\, marking the tension and dialogue between these two spaces. \nAll works from both venues will be included in a digital catalogue by Glenn Adamson.

SUMMARY:Faye Toogood l Assemblage 6: Unlearning
DESCRIPTION:Friedman Benda is pleased to present British artist Faye Toogood’s second solo exhibition at the gallery\, Assemblage 6: Unlearning\, opening September 10\, 2020. \nAssemblage 6 marks a dramatic rupture in Faye Toogood’s creative trajectory\, in which she has set out to ‘unlearn’ the process of design\, and build it up again from scratch. This has led her to a conflation of furniture and sculpture\, which draws upon the shifting perspectives encountered in childhood fables. The playful qualities of rough-hewn maquettes\, broken up by the corrugations of crumpled paper and masking tape\, are recast at functional scale – daybeds\, chairs and consoles\, manufactured in cast bronze\, wrought iron and rough canvas. Taken as a whole\, the collection suggests how deceptive first appearances can be. Trompe-l’oeil effects imitate the twisted wires and taped cardboard of the original models\, preserving the creative steps that led to their own genesis even as the true materials of their construction are disguised. The designs suggest the aleatory qualities of folk art or found objects – yet every crinkle and crease has been carefully considered and recreated. And though they still evoke a moment of unforced naïveté\, in which a shape is first roughed out\, their imposing physicality betrays the involvement of numerous skilled hands. Glenn Adamson\, Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art\, comments\, “Faye Toogood’s new Assemblage is a tour de force of thinking and making\, which hides in plain sight. Through an ingenious set of imitative processes\, she and her team have devised a way to do justice to that first\, instinctive moment that a form comes into being. There is tremendous energy in this moment\, and each work in the Assemblage is in effect a monument to that quality of instantaneous creativity.” \nABOUT FAYE TOOGOOD \nFaye Toogood was born in the UK in 1977 and graduated with a BA in the History of Art in 1998 from Bristol University. She founded “Studio Toogood” in 2008 and “Faye Toogood” in 2010\, both in London. Recent international exhibitions of Toogood’s include The Design Museum\, Ghent (2020)\, Harewood House (2019)\, National Gallery of Victoria (2018-2019)\, Dallas Museum of Art (2018-2019)\, and the Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art (2018-2019). Her works have been acquired for the permanent collections of institutions worldwide\, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Dallas Museum of Art\, High Museum of Art\, The Corning Museum of Glass\, Denver Museum of Art and The National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.

SUMMARY:OrtaMiklos: 6 Acts of Confinement
DESCRIPTION:Friedman Benda is pleased to present OrtaMiklos: 6 acts of confinement\, the first US solo exhibition of the French and Danish creative duo. In 6 acts of confinement\, OrtaMiklos debuts a new body of work divided into six discrete scenes with each act representing a different emotional response to this current moment in time. \n“It’s during a moment of lockdown that the mind wants to escape. Perhaps it escapes into forms that appear to be unknown\, the same as where we feel our future is going\,” says OrtaMiklos. \nThe show will feature collaborations and a curated selection of works with artists including Bráulio Amado\, Coady Brown\, Salomé Chatriot\, Sarah Faux\, Jānis Melderis and Reginald Sylvester II creating a multidisciplinary experience. Since many of OrtaMiklos’ ideas begin in guerrilla performances\, the additional objects are conceived as props for an intuitive theater of making\, utilizing ad hoc sculpting and coloring processes. Through explosively energetic and imaginative objects\, OrtaMiklos draw from a wide variety of references\, such as body movements and contortion\, graffiti\, and animation. \nAs a digital extension of the exhibition\, OrtaMiklos have collaborated with digital artist Janis Melderis\, composer Amédée De Murcia\, and writer Richard Johnston Jones to realize a virtual occupation of the Temple of Dendur\, the ancient monument that now sits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Taking this currently unvisitable site as a stage of imaginative operation\, OrtaMiklos and their team have created an arresting video\, combining animation and performance\, which confronts the alienating experience of the current pandemic. Ricocheting through the disturbing psychological terrain of the present\, they also riff on the past – Pop Art and radical design practice – while giving some indication of their own future travel. \nABOUT ORTAMIKLOS \nLeo Orta (b. 1993\, Paris) and Victor Miklos Andersen (b. 1992\, Kalundborg) formed OrtaMiklos in 2015 while studying at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Generally informed by natural habitats and processes\, the creative duo’s experimental approach activates their design works from the existing norms. Their works have been exhibited in international museums\, such as Icebergs In Progress at Museo Marino Marini in Florence (2018)\, in From Dusk to Dawn at K11 Art Foundation – Guangzhou (2019)\, in Foncteur d’oubli\, at Le Plateau Frac Ile-de-France and Kleureyck: Van Eyck’s Colors in Design at Design Museum in Ghent (2020) and will be on view at Le Tripostal in Lille. OrtaMiklos currently operates the studio across two locations in Eindhoven\, The Netherlands\, and Les Moulins\, France.
