FUTURE FOSSILS

+ 2022. May 15 - 17, Javits Center, NYC

Future Fossils is a collection of new works by Simon Johns, using mimicry in materials, loosely referencing the sedimentary striations in million years old stone. This collection explores positives and negatives of both extrusions and voids, in both gypsum cement and slip-cast stoneware. The traces of natural looking elements are preserved into mold-like volumes, structured into aluminum grids and more free-form geometries. The pieces are really furniture, but also seem like documents, celebrating the traces of something lost.

When Gabrielle Ammann, owner of ammann//gallery (Cologne) and founder of ammann//projects (London), discovered the work of Nucleo twelve years ago, she was immediately attracted by the sculptural aspect of its production, its architectonics forms, the tactile quality of the employed materials but also its capacity to create transdisciplinary scenarios and narratives that contextualize each piece within a precise temporality frame and aesthetics. Throughout all these years, the constant dialogue and some constructive frictions have allowed them to trustfully develop a solid partnership, capable of progressing both on the conceptual and technical aspects of the creative process.

Ammann discovered in the approach of Studio Nucleo's Primitive collection a certain similarity with her "radical" Italian friends of the design collective Alchimia, with whom she collaborated in the late '80 and '90. Like Alchimia, Nucleo has the capacity to imagine and organize, in these pivotal years of transition, an autonomous laboratory capable of developing a sustainable, singular and free research of thought and languages. Like the philosopher Umberto Galimberti2 asserts, but before him, of course, John Ruskin and William Morris, "art knows the bending of the inflexible, the prayer of the artist, who asks the solidity of the earth to bend to the instrument. It was in this way that art governed craftsmanship, and it was in this way that, in ages not yet besieged by the technique, the craftsmanship became with the alchemists, a place of knowledge, a transformation of the vile into the precious, where the elements that reached the opus were transformed as much as the soul of the operator, not when he contemplates his work, but when he generates it".

Il celebre resoconto dei viaggi di Marco Polo, intitolato Il Milione, racconta l’incontro di Venezia con l’Oriente, le cui influenze culturali hanno avuto la massima espressione nell’architettura, nelle arti applicate e nella manifattura. A Venezia, cerniera fra due civiltà, comparvero tessuti, tappeti, ricami di sapore esotico: un nobile intrico di trama e ordito, rievocato da una collezione di contenitori essenziali, ingentiliti da ante composte da listelli di legno alternate a dettagli in ottone.

Gramme Agency , Papierre collection & William Ventura Architecture Liege Collection, overview, 2021.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The PAPIERRE collection, by Gramme agency, defies all forms of gravity thanks to the attraction of stone and the lightness of paper. The impression of carved rocks matches the tenderness of the material.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The LIÈGE collection, by architect William Ventura, combines the spontaneity of art and the durability of architecture. The collection mixes temporalities: the sensual presence of the material is articulated with the projection of a design that resists the air of time and adapts to needs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Materials: (Papierre) Paper Factor micro paper and wood.
