ROLU 4 OMMU is four pieces of furniture, two large modular adaptable chairs, Chair 1 and Chair 2, as well as A Desk and A Desk Chair, that are part of a new design ROLU made for OMMU‘s store in Athens. Also produced in this project was a bookshelf that is based on a work by the artist Seth Price and a ladder.Price’s essay Décor Holes came to be an important part of our thinking as these pieces started to emerge. The writing discusses, in part, the “sample” as it exists in modern music and questions it raises about ownership. We started to ask ourselves “When does something… become something else?” We wanted the work we produced for this project to have a theoretical basis that pointed towards language. We also wanted to think about motion. We like to use the term “sitting as seeing” to describe a philosophical ghost we are chasing. The forms of these pieces are, in a sense, like “visual samples.” They are based on shapes found in drawings the choreographer Trisha Brown made in the early seventies. These drawings contain a sense of motion and it’s easy to see their visual connection to dance but, they also look like typography… like a written language we don’t quite recognize. And so we ask ourselves: When does a dance become a drawing? When does a drawing become a chair? Can a chair act as a kind of choreographer? Maybe we’ll never know but we love how they turned out and hope you do too!

Resonate is more than just a festival, expert seminar or exhibition of visual arts. It is broad enough to encompass areas ranging from software engineering to visual arts theory, but also to create a bridge between culturally separated segments of the artistic and intellectual scene through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.

1:1:1 #03 by Metahaven, Richard Niessen and Esther de Vries and Drukkerij Mart.Spruijt 1:1:1 is a series of publications in which printing matter converges with the subject matter, the image with the text, the reproduction with the original and the designer and the printer with the client. An artist, designer or musician is the point of departure for each of the numbers in this series, and the subject of conversation is the basis for investigating graphic design and printing as a form of expression.
