Japanese designer and artist Yukihiro Kaneuchi has created a tiny landscape in a coffee cup . This cup was created using the concept that as we grow and age and relationships are formed over time through interactions with others. Thus, as you drink your coffee over time, a tiny landscape appears from the coffee stain, evoking the same idea that a relationship develops and emerges over time with this object.

Initiated by N°111 with François Bauchet and Eric Jourdan , the Quatrième Mur was a satellite exhibition during the St Etienne Design Biennial 2010. Located in a former cinema, three ex-Saint Etienne students invited two of their ex-lecturers for a collective exhibition of everyday objects. The arrangement of these objects in a scenic, stage-like way invited the viewers to think differently about the relationships between these objects and themselves. From N°111: The fourth wall evokes an intellectual wall separating the actor on the stage and the spectator in the room. The installation of the objects on a stage puts distance between them and the spectator

Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eijk present new work at VIVID Gallery in Rotterdam now through January 5, 2011. The works of Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eik in this exhibition reinforce each other in a positive way through juxtaposition — the tough strength of Joost’s heavy steel plates against the fragility of Kiki’s airy and less systematic structures give an additional tension to both artifacts. For this exhibition Van Bleiswijk worked only with thick steel plates and a blowtorch to create the “no screw no glue rough” edition. He made sculptures that could be art pieces but also used as tables or cupboards.
