Ron Arad

Ron Arad

Ron Arad: Restless explores three decades of Arad’s work from his early post-punk approach to his highly polished sculptural furnishings, via his architectural designs and mass produced pieces. The show also features a dramatic installation made from cutting edge LED technology which really needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.

I consider this show a real 'must see', I was slightly dubious about whether it would impress but had no need to worry. The work is diverse and truly stunning and the wealth of support information and the planning of the exhibition is exemplary.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Barbican Art Centre for inviting me :)

Ronzo's labour of love - Crunchy The Credit Crunch Monster is up!

I've been watching him slowly come together over the last couple of months, so it's wonderful to finally see he's found a home watching over East London.

Wow! Truly inspiring sculptures - they remind me a little of some of my abstract work (except that they're real and not digital!).

Folds In Space

Using plain white, metallic coated or colored paper, beautifully lit and photographed then mirrored until they become aesthetically interesting. Created by Rein Nomm.

So simple in concept - many of these images have a classical or mathematical elegance.

Want to turn that 3D model into a real object? Look no further than Shapeways 3D printing - seems to be fairly cost effective too...

Pablo Valbuena

Pablo Valbuena

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.

Incredible paper sculpture, often from a single piece of paper - it's been around a while, but there's a lot of new work on show.
