Flashback Friday: La vache qui rit

Posted under: Installations + Exhibitions, Things We Like
“La culture est un mouvement qui surprend, interpelle, enchante et dérange parfois. Sa richesse, sa diversité et son impertinence même sont le signe d’une société et d’une démocratie qui vibrent.”
La vache qui rit, is the cow that laughs last… as he looks back at you in anamorphic projection. This is the biennial installation we did in Morroco in 2009, located in a former slaughterhouse as part of a greater effort to reinvent East Casablanca, transforming an abandoned structure into a cultural factory.

OBRA: THE TIMELESS ANACHRONISM OF TYPE
Posted on September 14th, 2016 by Nicole Sakr
Posted under: Things We Like
Neither submerged under the pressure of contemporary fascination with technology, nor the historical reliance on history as the basis for legitimization, their conversation with types is at once generic and practical but also more importantly the site of deformation, mutation and critical re-evaluation –in short, architectural invention.
Nader writes on OBRA’s work, read the full essay HERE.
Exquisite Corpse by OBRA Architects at Architektur Galerie Berlin, on display through October 22.

VAV STUDIO VENICE BIENNALE INSTALLATION
Posted on May 24th, 2016 by Nicole Sakr
Posted under: Things We Like
NADAAA’s Amin Tadj, with his partners at VAV Studio, completed their installation, AND, at the Venice Biennale. The installation, a cylindrical gallery, acts as a narrative of work produced by the generation growing up in the 1979 revolution in Iran. Launching practice in the post-war aftermath, VAV Studio gained recognition through collaboration on successful competitions.
“In a broader view, “AND” stands for the way our generation acknowledges its drastically diverse society, and for our mission of conjunction. It represents the eclectic identities of ourselves. “AND” represents our praise for democracy. It introduces the possibility of resisting and negotiating simultaneously. “AND” represents our openness to collaboration, the belief that no one holds the ultimate answer, but rather that the answer can be found collectively. “AND” means that we are just a link in a chain.”
See more instagram photos of the installation here.
