Skeleton of Civilization' Shelves by Cometabolism Studio
About the Item
Based on the research of large industrial equipment and architectural imagery from the 1960s, the rough and rustic forms of the early space age were abstracted to form a monument shaped like a launch pad. The shape of the ball landing on the tip has a funny sense like a clown's hat. The metal clasps and lines respond to the public sculpture's yearning for stars in the space age. When users who interact with the works place their own items, they will also enter a funny and magnificent theater together.In this context, discussion of whether the grand imagination at the top also starts from the bottom and that all the impracticalities of the comic also have a real and valid side, and whether the passing of the grand imagination we have today is gratifying but also a sigh of regret.
About the Artist:
Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components.
The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.
