The Aram Gallery is delighted to open the fourth in the ongoing series Prototypes and Experiments with a new batch of exhibits sourced from the studios of emerging and established designers. This time there are a significant number of objects exploring ideas in metal.
Prototypes and experiments are critical elements in the development process of any new design. The prototype is the manifestation of the design idea on its way to production; experiments are more like steps on the way. The prototype, being part of a process, makes more real an idea that will lead to a final piece, and is not made with the intention of being sold or shown outside the designer’s studio. Experiments are also unique artefacts but are even less refined and sometimes constitute a partial sketch on the way to the prototype.
These objects however, can hold a rare charm; there’s an increased closeness to the designer’s imagination, and a directness to the making that often changes when manufacturing and marketing forces are fully integrated. The objects might be characterised by a technical or material discrepancy, compared to the final product, due to a lack of access of the designer to technology at the process stage. It’s a stark contrast to the current wave of limited editions – which has made for the unique to be diluted by multiples and for the production piece to be restrained in order to increase the value of singular pieces.
The Aram Gallery is interested in the way designers think and work. We have chosen to present these unique artefacts as part of an ongoing search for insight into the design process. Prototypes and Experiments will include selected drawings alongside the pieces taken from the designers’ physical or digital sketchbooks.

Jürgen Teller is one of the big names when it comes to fashion photography.
In return, he doesn’t think so. He rather likes shooting his models naked, without any make-up, special lighting or a lot of photoshopping…
He tries to find the natural beauty in each woman he is photographing. With this attitude he revolutionized the scene; and made Kate Moss to his muse.

JENNY HOLZER. Beyeler Museum, Riehen/Basel – Switzerland
It is the first time that the prominent LED installations by American artist Jenny Holzer are beeing exhibited on European ground.
The great venue of the Beyeler Museum in Riehen near Basel will show new works of her until 24th January next year.
The main focus of her work is the use of words and ideas in public space. Originally utilizing street posters, LED signs became her most visible medium.
That, as a world cultural heritage defined, ‘Neues Museum’ in Berlin has opened it’s doors again since over 50 years of absence. The british Star architect, David Chipperfield has been asked 1997 to restore the building under strict preservation orders to give back the charm it used to have before World War II. It has been attacked heavily by bombs between 1943-45, and has been run down during DDR times.
The result however is stunning. He produced a symbiosis of great light incidence methods in modern architecture in relation to the late classicism of the museum and whatever has been rescued from this old ruin.
Lately, the whole cultural scene in Berlin is talking about it. A german architecture critic, Dieter Bartetzko, summarized:
“The first time on, it is not the contrast between a faultless facade and completely damaged ancient relics that soaks the crowd in, additionally. It rather is the fact, mentally and physically, that this Museum must pay tribute to destroyed times such as the antiques it carries.”
To understand his meaning better I recommend the virtual tour on their homepage:
