Donald Judd Furniture at Sebastian+Barquet from November 12th


Finply chairs #84-85 suite of five
“The configuration and the scale of art cannot be transposed into furniture and architecture. The intent of art is different from that of the latter, which must be functional. If a chair or a building is not functional, if it appears to be only art, it is ridiculous.”
Donald Judd, 1993

In association with Judd Foundation, Sebastian + Barquet is pleased to present Donald Judd: Furniture, an exhibition of Donald Judd’s resolved furniture designs. Brought together here for the first time at Sebastian + Barquet and shown alongside Judd’s original drawings, the exhibition will include important early examples of his furniture in a variety of woods, colored-plywood, enameled aluminum and copper.

Museum of Modern Art 82-Story Tower Approved by NYC Council


The Museum of Modern Art’s proposal for a new 82-story tower has cleared its final hurdle.
The New York City Council voted Wednesday to approve the plan for a 1000-foot mixed-use tower on West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues. It was the final hurdle for the plan’s approval process.
The museum already has its main exhibition space on that block.
The MoMA Web site says the museum will gain approximately 40,000 square feet of new gallery space — a 30 percent increase.
The building plan also calls for 150 residential apartments and 100 hotel rooms.
Architect Jean Nouvel designed the tower, which tapers as it rises to a spire.

Type as Object at The Type Directors Club New York Through to 20th November


A new exhibition of prints, patterns, products, installations and sculptures based on House Industries’ 16-year love affair with alphabetical forms.

Pixels, points and curves are indispensable conveniences to the modern type designer, but House Industries artists discovered the resulting digital vapor did not deliver a satisfying tactile experience. Consequently, House has spent much of the past 16 years freeing letterforms from their rigid typographic confines and introducing them to the three-dimensional world. From the ridiculously impractical to the infinitely functional, Type as Object is an exhibition of these items and the products they have become.
