ANTHONY AMES: OBJECT-TYPE LANDSCAPES Casa Curutchet, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina
September 5-25, 2015
Anthony Ames: Object-Type
Landscapes exhibition
is curated by Curatorial
Project in collaboration with Anthony Ames Architect of Atlanta, Georgia. The
exhibition focuses on Ames’s unique work, which is deeply inspired by modern
vocabulary of Le Corbusier. Ames’s work is a continuation and adaptation of Le
Corbusier’s visual and spatial discoveries, and design strategies. In addition
to primarily residential projects the architect experiments with reductive poetic
paintings, three-dimensional sculptural compositions, rugs, as well as
furniture and porcelains, exploring infinite possibilities in the
aesthetics of modern domestic architecture. In his work, Ames focuses on such
important issues as continuity, traditions, and creating a sense of balance and
comfort by operating within the familiar. The exhibition gathers
his paintings, sculptural compositions, and porcelain pieces within the entire setting
of Le Corbusier-designed Casa Curutchet (La Plata, Buenos Aires, 1948-53), a
house conceived as an exploded purist painting. The exhibition coincides with
the XV Buenos Aires Architecture Bienal.
