RECENT PROJECTS
EAST ↔ WEST | CREATIVE CROSSINGS
Following the success of our inaugural exhibition at MOMAY, we conceived East ↔ West | Creative Crossings as part of our year long residency at the hotel and as our first exhibition to shape ‘The Living Square’ the overriding thematic for our cultural programming that brings Hanover Square firmly back as a leading destination for the arts.
MDD | EDIT
A high-tech update of a traditional candle holder this lamp combines a modern aesthetic with innovative technology. The mains-powered lamp houses minimal circuitry that carries the 'flame' — a HD LED display — within a domed glass body resting effortlessly on a beautifully crafted Corian base. The result is an object that captures the essence of everything a flame represents whilst simultaneously functioning as an effective light source.
A connection to the past is profound in Eleanor Lakelin’s work; she is fascinated by wood as a living, breathing substance with its own history of growth and struggle, centuries beyond our own. Her sculptural objects made in Horse Chestnut are created using a traditional woodworking lathe and centuries-old chisels and gouges, alongside modern tools and carving techniques. Her vessels appear like archaeological objects pulled from the ground; classical forms are referenced and smooth surfaces, reminiscent of ossified matter, rhythmically yield to knotted sections of burr.
The “Morana” chair’s motif represents the idea of death and rebirth of nature. The sculptural relief connects the chair’s shape with the visual representation of the skeleton, which rejuvenates and becomes adorned with human and floral details. This transformation is a central element in the piece, where human anatomical details merge with organic botanical elements, blurring the boundaries between a living body and an inanimate object. By working with the cultural/mythic background and applying the knowledge from the practice of contemporary folk rituals, Podracký’s goal was to stretch the understanding of the concept of “living” on the object’s material and conceptual level.
The “Morana” chair belongs to the “Bloom of Bones” family of objects.
