THE ARCHITECT WAS INSPIRED TO CONSTRUCT A LOCATION WHERE A GEOMETRICAL DEVISE CREATES A LINK BETWEEN HYDE PARK AND THE VISITOR. WHERE LANDSCAPE AND HUMANITY ARE ENGAGED.

THE PAVILION IS CONSTRUCTED FROM A BASIC REPEATED CUBE SHAPED TO THE HUMAN BODY. THE PLAYS BETWEEN SUBSTANCE AND EMPTINESS, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, ARE INTENDED TO CONFUSE OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THOSE BOUNDARIES.

ALTHOUGH MINIMAL AND CONCEPTUAL, THE GENERAL EFFECT IS ONE OF SOFTNESS AND AMBIGUITY. WHAT WE ARE PRESENTED WITH IS A SURPRISINGLY ELEGANT AND SUBTLE STRUCTURE, INVITING AND EASILY EXPLORED.

SAATCHI GALLERY 

LONDON

21 - 27 MAY 2013

                         

THE HERMES TRAVELLING ATELIER SHOWCASE, STARTED IN 2011,  ARRIVES IN LONDON  WITH A PRESENTATION DESIGNED BY PAOLA NAVONE. HERMES WISHES TO OPEN ITS PROCESSES TO A WIDER PUBLIC AND ESPECIALLY TO A YOUNGER AUDIENCE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN THIS WITH VISITORS OF MIXED AGES AND BACKGROUNDS.

THE AUDIENCE INTERACTED WITH CRAFTSPEOPLE FROM A SELECTION OF ATELIERS AND COULD WATCH CLOSELY AND ASK QUESTIONS, THROUGH AVAILABLE TRANSLATORS, ON THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES.

THE SILK PRINTING PROCESS WAS ESPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE TO VISITORS WITH MANY EVEN PRODUCING THEIR OWN SCARVES IN ORDER TO ASK THE EXPERTS QUESTIONS ON THEIR PRODUCTION AND VALUE AS COLLECTIBLE ITEMS.
