At international stone exhibition Marmomac 2017, Chinese firm OPEN Architecture has created a transient installation titled “The Eternal & The Ephemeral” that allows visitors to transform a cube of stone tiles into new, unplanned forms. The project responds directly to the theme of the event, “Soul of City,” which asked designers from across the globe to collaborate with Italian stone manufacturers to create pieces built entirely from stone. OPEN’s concept focused on the relationship between transience and heaviness in the material, prompting the installation to gradually “disappear” over the 4-day event

Her “I Who Have Arrived In Heaven” installation features infinity rooms that let visitors take a step into an enchanting and endless space.” - Bored Panda

Giordano Rizzardi | on Tumblr (Italy)
Giordano Rizzardi is an artist from Veneto, Italy. While studying the classical art, he also pursued a graduate degree in the virtual environments and the new technologies. After this dual training, he continues his research in the field of view, from the photography, the video art, to the installation. Rizzardi develops the theme of the human being, which remains at the center of his work. Seeing connections in disconnected elements, he also creates ties which seem forced or unnatural. Rizzardi has participated in many group exhibitions in Italy.

Li Hongbo Shadow of Knives
at Contemporary by Angela Li -19 Nov 2014 - 19 Dec 2014
Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present Li Hongbo’s solo exhibition – Shadow of Knives, a brand new series of metal sculpture and installation works by the hot Beijing-based artist.
The initial concept of this metal series came to Li back in 2007, the same time as he developed his extremely successful expandable paper sculptures series, during his studies at Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts. ”Shadow of Knives” is a warning he gives the society – human beings will eventually destroy themselves because of their gluttony and their abuse of animals.
In this series, the metal sculptures are in the shapes of knives with carved out parts. This shape is unique to China and a few Asian countries – those living in these parts of Asia will instantly recognize it as a food chopping knife more widely used by the older generation. Food forms a very special part in Chinese culture - gathering for meals is a way to bond with families and friends, especially during festivals and special occasions. The Chinese are also known for “eating almost everything that moves”. Li carved patterns out of his blades. The carved out parts – the shadows - mirror the hollow parts of the knives. They can be manipulated into different shapes and to different directions, echoing his previous expandable paper sculpture series. The cold, hard metal along with the simple, clean lines form a stark contrast to the stories behind and the messages that Li is trying to convey.
