CIAM and Laila Gohar/Gohar World:
by CIAM / Laila Gohar
"The spaces of the old kitchens in the nuns' house were an inspiration to create a dialogue between Ciam's existing and technological furnishings. The new furnishings connected to a system of walls made of steel mirrored stainless steel redesign a new path and space within the two rooms. The steel reflects all the existing space and furnishings, generating a strong visual fragmentation, but at the same time same time it triggers a logic of dialogue producing endless visual multiplications and unexpected virtual glimpses. The new installation becomes almost immaterial and returns a very dynamic space where the boundaries between the real and the perceived are minimal, they merge."
Fabrizio Milesi - Art Director of Ciam and curator of the set up of the C8 and C9 spaces of the sisters' house. The Ciam showcases that make up the exhibition are:
- Two Kalera Show Boxes, greenhouses specially made at the request of a client (Kalera).
- A refrigerated and neutral base from Ciam's new Compact line.
The art installation is curated by Laila Gohar/Gohar World: six architectural elements, six columns composed of basic foods preserved in resin, joined by some of the most typical and representative of Laila Gohar's playful and evocative world, counterpointing the future technology imagined by Ciam amplifying the message of a time and space open to the fluidity. Laila Gohar's resin sculptures were created in collaboration with artist Robert Anthony O'Halloran.
