On my last visit to this home, <a href="http://youhavebeenheresometime.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-conversaton-with-duncan-nicholson.html">I spent hours inside the James Turrell skypsace,</a> watching the colors drip from the warm enveloping LA sky as if I was in a melting hologram. (Thank you Duncan!)  </i><br /><br /><i>But tonight, we were here for Xavier Veilhan.</i><br /><br /><i>Two of Veilhan's works are based on photographs that were taken during construction of the home.  He has brought memories of the home to life in a bronze table work (complete with a dog) and a green-painted aluminum sculpture that casually rests, staring into the vastness of a mesmerizing and confusing city that many of us call home, Los Angeles. Many of the works are based on the form of the triangle, an ode to Lautner.</i><br /><br /><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A City of the Future:</b></span> Though Veilhan's works appear to gaze into history's eyes and its famous dweller, James Goldstein,  they also appear to be presenting a gift to the home, and to us onlookers.  Over the pool, white cords are carefully stretching, creating a new triangular form, a further nod to Lautner.  As I left the installation, driving down into manic Beverly Hills, I thought to myself about the positive energy this home has created over the years, drawing "light" visionaries, fueled poets, rocking musicians, and even supermodels to visit and celebrate.</i><br /><br /><i>Veilhan's work are unexpectedly sentimental when you are in their presence, and when you take the time to stand next to them on the edge with the doors opens, the air still, gazing into the grey night speckled with city lights.  You can almost feel John Lautner over your shoulder, whispering about the city below, all that is to become.  </i><br /><br /><i>And you believe. And you feel. And you even know. <span style="color: #999999;">- David John </span></i><br /><br /><i>"Don't be light.</i><br /><i>Fabricating a new abandon </i><br /><i>We don't see the master' hand </i><br /><i>We bang on gold tamourines " </i><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4c3O55fl5kqaA8zOEXDyIb-x3AqLwvlhOUlgHo6bPnCoN2jUJlzUXfhI4LZ1e3-_7Me2rML5K9DajwWRYnNzlEcrSR7zLjjzjJJi-ELpRxvCtRACalo96pwgpO03dZQKuv8wR6wJIhPV/s1600/643+pixels+Xavier+Veilhan+Sheats+Goldstein+Lautner+Architectones+Architecture+Los+Angeles+James+Goldstein+5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

His interest in an even brighter color palette was probably the result of the influence of Swedish folk art, but it was also undoubtedly a reaction to the dark Swedish winters. <b>Frank hoped a lighter look would help counteract the bleak winter days.</b> His work also became more eclectic, a result of working with Estrid Ericson, the owner of Svenskt Tenn, who pushed him to explore new design possibilities.

Run- Skip-Hop!  A couple weeks ago I attended the opening of Zachary's latest works in clay: hand-built forms, awkward textural complexities.  His recent Dr. Seussian sculptural pursuits are taking pride in their ability to grow and activate the space & air.  Bold color-seeking modern California forms feeling nostalgic of utopian 60's craft and "of the sun."  Some call it noodling, others call it doodling.  Tif's Desk is in the back of Thomas Solomon Gallery, and it is actually the desk of Tif.  Ask her for a tour, and some conversation.

His furniture was comfortable—he typically used soft, upholstered seating, rounded edges, and pieces that allowed their users to relax. He rejected the then common practice of employing tubular steel, which Frank thought was cold to the touch and unyielding. But his designs also sought to respond to our need for the familiar. He did not reject older, historical forms. Like Loos, <b>he believed that many things and ideas from the past still had validity. And he often relied on color and pattern to make his rooms and individual pieces appealing.</b>"<a href="http://www.meublepeint.com/josef_frank_english_version.htm"> (taken from here) </a></i><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>----------------- </i></div><br />

The result is an impressive collection of surprising, whimsical, and innovative modern structures by architectural greats such as Steven Ehrlich, Frederick Fisher, Frank Gehry, Frank Israel, and many others.

The show will consist of a site-specific installation, sculptures, models and a soundtrack.  <i><b>Xavier Veilhan recalls, “when I first visited the house three years ago, the spectacular and modern beauty of the architecture struck me instantly. Like a modern version of a cave, the house interacts perfectly with the surrounding nature, anticipating the dialogue that contemporary architecture established later with environmental issues.”  </b></i><br /><br />A site-specific installation of one of the artist’s “Rays” structures — compositions created by stretching cords in space — will be created around the swimming pool. The rays descend from the air into the water as a metaphor for the continuity between indoor and outdoor proposed by modern architecture. A sculpture of the architect of the house, John Lautner, will be placed in the dramatic overhang in the bedroom echoing a famous shot taken during the construction of the house. Other sculptures and models will refer to the house and its specific structure, such as its triangular roof beams, as well as to the new owner, James Goldstein, who has been living in the house for more than forty years. <b>A new musical piece "Lautner's theme" has been composed especially for the house and Veilhan’s Architectones series by Nicolas Godin of the band AIR, perpetuating the relationship between music and architecture.  </b><br /><br />Veilhan’s Architectones project in Los Angeles, curated by local architect <i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Francois Perrin</b></span></i>, is organized by Xavier Veilhan studio and Galerie Perrotin at Sheats-Goldstein Residence. Perrin notes, “this project participates in the long tradition of the interaction of artists with architecture and writes another chapter in this ongoing dialogue, as well as reactivating an important building in Los Angeles architectural history through the eye of a contemporary artist.” <br /><br /><i>Visitor Information</i><br /><i>Private visits : Thursday 25th of April - 12pm, 2pm or 4pm </i><br /><i>Friday 26th of April - 11am, 2pm or 4pm</i><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">--------------</div>

Since the beginning of his pioneering practice in the 1970s, Bonetti, known for his limited edition works and unique commissions, has approached the distinction between art and design not as a barrier, but as a wellspring of creative dialogue. Inspired by the dynamic between indoors and out, these works swing both conceptually and formally between the organic and the geometric, playing in the space between the natural and the crafted. Blurring these familiar boundaries, the majority of the works have been designed to thrive both inside and outside.<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Bonetti’s forms also consciously reinvigorate classical and timeless silhouettes, suggesting cultural influences as diverse as Ancient Greece and imperial India.</b></span> From the patterns of woven reeds translated in bronze, to shaped travertine filled with colored resin, to illuminated Madagascar rock crystal, to cast aluminum that bears the raised grain of hand-milled elm—these works tantalizingly combine and reimagine the world of design into a realm of dueling materials, forms, and evocations."</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.paulkasmingallery.com/exhibitions/2013-04-10_mattia-bonetti"><i>more here... </i></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">--------------</div>

We both love traveling to new areas, and exploring the craft and design tradition of that area. We'd love to create a hotel where people travel to rest, relax, eat, and be surrounded in beauty. We are drawn to materials that feel good to touch and to look at, and also have a sense of history or story behind them.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.californiahomedesign.com/gallery/designer-crush-qa-krista-schrock-david-john-dick-disc-interiors#1"><i>more here....</i></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">--------------- </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
