OBJCTIVE


addressing the intersection between art + design,

where theory meets spontaneous combustion, 

where nature and human intervention collide


Objects  (or Artifacts as R. Buckminster Fuller would call them) are the  ultimate expression of human ideas, ideals, and cultural preoccupations.   Studies have shown that we touch an 

average of 500 designed objects a  day.  This does not even include the 

objects we respond to visually or  aurally.


Addressing  the boundaries between disciplines or ideas is a way of blurring them,  and then documenting the process in a way that offers an academic  perspective or cultural 

commentary is what OBJCT will endeavor to  achieve.  


Giving  a unique view into the inspirations and processes by which artists and  designers create their worlds, we will be educated and enlightened in  the physical world that surrounds us.


Art  and design walk a fine line between medium and message, craft and  technology, 

commerce and culture.. please join us on this journey.

MOBILE LIVING | May 2006 NYC

The Future Has Arrived Mobile Living is at the forefront of design. Mobile homes, prefab homes, and temporary homes all address the need for new and innovative designs for housing. Our ever-increasing need to be in touch, stay in touch, work from wherever we are has inspired new technology, now computers and phones have become the tools that drive the new economy and support our new nomadic way of life. Automobiles, airplanes, and hotel rooms have become our home away from home and many of us spend more hours there than in our official residences. Mobile Living was conceived and curated by David Shearer and co-curated by Miguel Calvo with special thanks to the Buckminster Fuller Institute, House Home Project and University of the Arts. 

NORMA TANEGA | Supernova

I was honored to curate a retrospective of Norma's artwork entitled  SUPERNOVA April 2019 at the Ginger Elliott Center at Garner House.  Norma passed away a few months later.


The title of the show came from one of Norma's paintings. Supernova is  an astronomical term for a star that explodes like crazy, an entirely  appropriate description of Norma, although her humbleness would often  keep her from acknowledging her brilliance and contributions to the  cultural landscape. 


Check out a short video of the exhibition.  Tanega's artistic contributions have made an indelible imprint across  decades and continents, her ability to communicate in multiple genres  and media is astounding.
