Odd Matter

The launch of Far, a brand-new offshoot of Nilufar dedicated to experimental contemporary work, got a bit buried amid the fanfare around the gallery’s aforementioned Lina Bo Bardi exhibition. But one of Far’s two pilot projects — Guise, by the Amsterdam duo Odd Matter — rewarded those who were paying attention. It features two benches and a console made from carved foam that’s been coated in a gradient of iridescent car lacquer, plus a fourth piece meticulously painted to imitate marble.
