Moving into the summer season, four new shows open at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London this May. Vas Florum: Resina Botanica is an exhibition by Marcin Rusak, known for using flowers and other organic matter to explore themes of decomposition and preservation. Reflections is a display by Paul Cocksedge, whose unique designs question assumptions with an unrelenting attention to detail. Also on display are three new works by Maarten Baas, whose practice integrates conceptual art, installation and performance, and a collection of jewellery and vessels by Sylvain Rieu-Piquet.
Marcin Rusak | Vas Florum: Resina Botanica
Vas Florum: Resina Botanica is a new exhibition of work by Marcin Rusak, the multidisciplinary artist and designer known for using flowers and other organic matter to explore themes related to decomposition, preservation and the passage of time. Featuring new pieces that continue Rusak’s explorations of coffee tables, and vases as functional contemporary artworks, the exhibition is a tribute to the evocative power of plants to encapsulate memories of people and places.
Paul Cocksedge | Reflections
A show of work by the acclaimed British designer Paul Cocksedge. Illustrating the evolution of his imaginative and unorthodox practice, the exhibited pieces range from Cocksedge’s earlier work to his most recent, including new additions to the Slump series, all embodying his skill and precision with reflection, mass, materiality and light. Coinciding with the release of a new monograph, published by Phadion, dedicated to the designer, this display showcases key moments in Cocksedge’s career as it has unfolded in London over the past 12 years.
Marten Baas | Reconstructing Time
Until 16th June
An exhibition of three new works from the Real Time series by Dutch designer Maarten Baas, whose practice integrates conceptual art, installation and performance. Building on his research into beauty and imperfection, the artist produces thought-provoking functional sculptures that explore subjects related to childhood, nature, freedom and the passing of time.
