Gaetano Pesce (8 November 1939 – 3 April 2024) 

Pescetrullo, Carovigno, Italy,

Italian artist Gaetano Pesce was commissioned to interpret a hectare of olive trees in Carovigno countryside, in Puglia, Italy by creating a series of playful holiday homes.

Commissioned by Caterina Tognon of Caterina Tognon Arte Contemporaneo, the two mini houses are the portrait of the gallerist and her husband with faces full of expression – pink for her and blue for him.

Together with architects Gabriele Pimpini and Cosimo Cardone of Studio Talent, Gaetano Pesce created a playful example of contemporary architecture in a context saturated in history, effortlessly straddling the worlds of visual art and contemporary design.

The houses are clad in tinted polyurethane, a versatile material readily used for insulation purposes. Pesce’s work has often concentrated on the research of new materials, having experimented with polyurethane since the 1970s.

‘Pescetrullo’ has become one of the most innovative examples of polyurethane used in a permanent architectural setting, which affords the houses with passive thermal properties. As a result, they require virtually little heating during winter and conversely, cooling in summer.

Rest in Power !

"Bamboo Park," Rattan Bamboo Staircase,

Rattan bamboo staircase with a total length of more than 100 meters and a width of 15 meters. The main body of the stairs uses steel structure, rattan and bamboo.

The rattan and bamboo staircase adopts the ancient Sichuan manual tradition to make and polish, focusing on the application of natural materials and exquisite craftsmanship. 

Rattan and bamboo stairs are usually made with sustainability in mind. Bamboo grows quickly and is renewable, so the use of this stair material helps reduce reliance on limited resources.

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

Outfit of the Day! | 30.09.24

Little bit of a whole week in review, sorry! We’ve been busy researching and getting the ‘Body Sculpture’ brief on the move. Also my hair is purple now, even if the photo is terrible at showing it.

Metadata:

-1/2 upcycled

So what exactly is the focus of this brief? ‘Issues that concern you’ was given as a prompt to stimulate our focus.

On Monday, I made the decision to focus on an objective I call ‘suffocation’. In a more detailed explanation, it’s the idea surrounding the restriction of your own effort. The pressure and expectation to preform to the best of your ability and the hazards that poses to the self when you’re almost pouring out your soul.

Visual stimuli includes smoke, steam, vapour, exhalation, etc.

I was inspired by the meticulous work Robert Treece (a painter and not necessarily an entirely relevant reference for 3D sculpture) to use acrylic paint to at least draw out the desired spiral shapes in paint from my steam references. This eventually lead to a break through in use of material as I am now considering painting onto transparent material.

So here’s how i make the “goo” to form my pieces of my costumes:

Firstly, what do you need: •find a good bowl you could cover up and set aside; •some liquid glue; •scrap paper ( You can get scrap paper from old school notes, magazines, newspapers, anything that’s made from paper, and i just cut or rip them into small pieces. )

Then you put all of the scrap papers in the bowl and add water to cover them. Then you add some liquid glue. The wet papers itself stick alright, but can potentially break down once dried, so the glue makes it last longer and be more durable, so add as much as you want, i for example use one glass of water with one table spoon of liquid glue.

Then you mix it up. And you cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic bag, etc. and put it aside for at least an hour to soak up the scrap papers in the liquids.

And you can use the mass to sculpt from there or you can mash it into smaller pieces to make a “puree” to sculpt more smoothly, which takes more time to make, best option would be to blend it, but i do it manually by squeezing and ripping the goo for a while until im satisfied!

And there you go! Here’s how i make my own sculpting “goo” 😆

( update: i found out how this technique is called: “papier mache”, Its name originates from France, which is translated as “chewed up paper” )

bear sculpture(?)/project i did for my sustained investigation on religion and how the aesthetic of it rivals the actual intentions + truth behind it !!

( you can’t really tell because of the stupid amount of fake blood i sprayed on but the center is a hollowed stomach with a heart in the center, a crucifix at the top, and a bible in his little hand )

…aaand i put a little picture of copia in his stomach somewhere in the stuffing like a build a bear heart. so he’s hiding in there !!
