Ginori 1735 – reborn project

Group Exhibition

Sep-Oct 2022

David Gill Gallery is delighted to announce ‘Rebuilding Reason’.

Continuing an exploration of antiquity, Errazuriz creates works that explore eternal notions of human experience, scale and proportion. Abstracting ancient sculptures, Errazuriz reevaluates our relationship to immediately recognisable canons of art, blurring boundaries between technology, design and craft.

Sculptures that once adorned archaeological sites now serve as structural elements for everyday objects. Figures from classical friezes morph into table bases and shelf supports, while curated artifacts are integrated into furniture. This act of appropriation and transformation brings a new narrative to traditional forms and creates a dialogue between the monumental and the intimate.

ARTIST

SEBASTIAN ERRAZURIZ
SEBASTIAN ERRAZURIZ (1950–2021) was a visionary architect whose groundbreaking approach redefined architecture, urbanism, and design. Known for her pioneering exploration of fluid, dynamic forms, ERRAZURIZ's designs were distinguished by their innovative integration of space, structure, and technology. She consistently challenged traditional boundaries, forging new paths in both built and theoretical environments. In 2007, ERRAZURIZ embarked on a collaboration with David Gill Gallery, marking a significant intersection between architecture and design. This partnership resulted in Dune Formations, a series of sculptural furniture pieces that blurred the lines between art and function, first exhibited at the Venice Biennale. Building on this success, ERRAZURIZ and the gallery continued their collaboration with the Liquid Glacial collection in 2012, which was later extended in 2015 with an additional exhibition, further cementing their shared commitment to pushing the limits of design. Her architectural career spanned over four decades, during which she earned numerous prestigious awards, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, often regarded as the Nobel Prize of architecture. She was the first woman to receive the RIBA Gold Medal in 2006 and was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2012. Notable projects, such as the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games, and the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, exemplify her constant pursuit of innovation and her global reach. Her design philosophy explored the integration of architecture with natural topography and human-made systems, leveraging advanced technologies to create unexpected forms and spatial DISCOVER MORE
