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.

Focus: Jürgen Teller
Friday, December 18th, 2009Jürgen 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.

Architecture: “Neues Museum” in Berlin shines again after a long decade
Monday, December 14th, 2009That, 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:

Susan Beazley ‘ Colour Emotions’
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
A new exhibition opens next week at The Air Gallery- a collection of new paintings titled ‘ Colour Emotions’ by Susan Beazley, North Yorkshire painter and Samaritans volunteer.
Susan’s career started in advertising after university where, among other leading industry companies, she reached board level at Saatchi & Saatchi where she worked for ‘ 10 crazy years!’ At the age of 50 she decided that her hectic lifestyle was unfulfilling and decided on a massive life change. She gave up work and relocated to the Yorkshire Dales. It was there that she allowed herself to discover her creative side. She started studying and making ceramics and realised her true ambition- to paint. ‘ It took me 50 years to allow myself to paint’.
Susan has been painting full-time for over six years and today her paintings reflect her inner landscape and core values: freedom; trust in the magic of everyday; of being conscious of the present as a gift. She is attracted to the essential nature of people and landscapes. She works in oils, loving their rich colour and texture and uses big canvases, big brushes and makes bold marks. Her paintings are full of energy, vibrant and optimistic.
In 2005 Susan became a Samaritans volunteer feeling it was time to give something back to her adopted community. Included in the paintings she has chosen to show are three pieces that have been produced as a result of her work with Samaritans and will be sold with all proceeds going to the charity. The issues covered in these paintings are: self-harm; bereavement and emotional abuse.
The body of work being exhibited in ‘ Colour Emotions’ is in marked contrast to the despair and distress underlying the paintings donated to the Samaritans and to the current economic climate and mood: magical landscapes and vibrant nudes.
The exhibition is open each day from 10 am -6 pm Tuesday 10th until Friday 13th November, and on Saturday 14th November from 10 am – 4pm.
Susan’s work can be seen at www.susanbeazley.com
