moore building, miami, usa
http://www.design05miami.com
---
the historic moore building - originally built as a furniture
showroom in 1921 - provides an opportunity to create an
installation that can be viewed at myriad angles from four
different levels.
the gravity-defying sculptural installation of the architect
zaha hadid engaged the building's formal qualities with
graceful tension. the zig-zagging material melted in with the
same-coloured corinthian columns of the building’s atrium.
---
zaha hadid’s installation was in the main venue of
‘design.05 miami’ - a centerpiece in the middle of gallery
spaces where post-war-to-contemporary furniture
galleries brought together the best collectors, connoisseurs,
and designers.
several dozen galleries of contemporary and modern
design set up shows at the participating dealers include:
antik (new york), demisch danant (new york and paris),
casati gallery (chicago), contrasts (shanghai), barry
friedman ltd. (new york), david gill gallery (london), cristina
grajales (new york), philippe jousse (paris), galerie kreo
(paris), galerie francois laffanour (paris), magen h. gallery
(new york), nilufar (milan), galerie Italienne (paris),
R 20th century (new york) and galerie patrick seguin (paris).
