Side Gallery

For the occasion of Carsten in der Elst’s inaugural exhibition at Side Gallery, Sourcing Stone continues to explore the German-born contemporary designer’s attitude towards material, and reflect his design philosophy. Reinterpreting the standardised use of Greywacke sandstone, traditionally used for the manufacturing of pavement stones, Elst has created a new series of twenty-two functional additions to this heavy industrial process.

Side Gallery presents Soft boxing, by the Danish artistic duo Frederik Nystrup-Larsen (b.1992 Copenhagen) & Oliver Sundqvist (b.1991 Copenhagen). The exhibition is the pairs’ first solo show at Side Gallery, and acts as a continuation of their series rendered as a sculptural legacy of Tai Chi’s aesthetic movements. Ten new luminous sculptures composed of stainless steel structures, a relief of acrylic knit, and fluorescent LED pipes, seek to illustrate the immemorial Chinese martial art, translating the flowing movements of the body and mind into material objects.

Side Gallery’s first solo exhibition with the French designer Elissa Lacoste, Infinito Viviente took its title from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and alludes to the vibrant atmosphere of a speculative and immersive underwater landscape that characterised Elissa’s collection. This new body of over 21 functional sculptures for her first solo show unfolds like an expanding never before seen seascape of floating, hovering, and grounded elements in an inviting game of pareidolia.

Side Gallery is delighted to announce the opening it’s annual exhibition at Casavells. Situated in the Idyllic countryside of Empordà – Costa Brava, the magnificent Spanish masia will host the presentation of a curated selection of design and contemporary ceramics.

Side Gallery is delighted to announce “Exposed Material”, featuring works by Virginia Leonard, Faye Hadfield, Adam Knocke and Vince Palacios. The exhibition aims to provide a snapshot of the current state of the ceramic field, bringing together a small group of artists of different generations, introducing an up to date development of ceramics as a sculptural medium from the artist’s perspective. The collection of richly glazed ceramics demonstrates the creative sensibilities of each individual artist, who demonstrate their expertise through the exploration of innovative techniques and radical thought processes.
