Design: Cardi Black Box - Endless – Ross
Lovegrove. Ross Lovegrove’s Endless exhibition at Cardi Black Box presented the
internationally recognized designer’s search that demonstrates how the
borderline between visual arts and design is becoming diminished even though
the pieces accomplish a specific function, the exhibited projects were charged
with an intense emotional value and a specific oneiric force; the works in
Endless are sculptures suspended in physical but temporal space. Ross Lovegrove shows objects whose sinuous
outlines are the result of a process of anatomical reduction derived from
evolutionary forces beyond design.

Endless –
Ross Lovegrove. Liquid shelving, above, is produced with fresh and polished
aircraft grade aluminum, the material seems to spontaneously mold around the
lines which define their silhouette: the
sinuous and organic forms are typical of Lovegrove’s language and are also
inflected in the Endless exhibition in a series of tables in which aluminum
seems to harmoniously subdue to the author’s dream.
