BC Trent Jansen Briggs Family Tea Service 2From 18-21 March 2013, Design Days Dubai, in its second year, will offer exceptional rare design creations from 29 galleries, a 30% growth in participation over 2012.  As well as being the only design fair in the Middle East and South Asia, Design Days Dubai is now the world’s most diverse design fair globally. By featuring galleries from all six continents, the fair has further established Dubai as centre of discovery and as an international meeting place for the world’s cultural community.

Design Days Dubai further differentiates itself through unique design installations, an enhanced public programme of workshops, talks, and mentorship sessions supported by the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, the Emirate’s dedicated authority for culture, arts and heritage, in a unique, custom-built location at the base of Burj Khalifa, Emaar Properties’ iconic development and the world’s tallest building, in Downtown Dubai, the city’s thriving lifestyle destination, billed as ‘The Centre of Now.’

“In less than two years, Design Days Dubai has become one of the world’s most diverse international design events, underscoring Dubai’s status as a meeting point for established and emerging collectors, gallery owners and designers,” said Cyril Zammit, Fair Director of Design Days Dubai.  “Design Days Dubai has enabled Dubai to rank among an elite group of cities – London, Paris, Basel, New York and Miami – which host fairs specialising in both art and design.”

As limited-edition design becomes a more popular and safe investment both regionally and internationally, Design Days Dubai will feature never-before-seen contemporary works alongside vintage and classic design pieces from the 20th century.  With a strong return rate from previously participating galleries, Design Days Dubai will welcome leading global galleries including Carpenters Workshop Gallery (London/Paris), R20th Century (New York), and Gallery Seomi (Seoul) as well as newcomers to the international design sector, such as Broached Commissions (Melbourne) and Galeria Mexicana de Diseño (Mexico City).  The fair has also witnessed close to double the number of regional galleries participating, with galleries from Dubai, Kuwait and Beirut taking part.

New for 2013, Design Days Dubai will feature a focus on sustainable works with a design lab, as well as a wider ‘Bespoke Design’ section, in which four design brands will showcase their insight, skills and creations.  Fostering the next generation of designers is the remit of Design Days Dubai’s mentorship programme, which is part of the four-day public programme of talks, presentations and workshops around current design issues.

The 2013 edition has again secured the generous support of sponsors including: the reputed French High Jewellery Maison, Van Cleef & Arpels, that will present a signature creative concept, showcasing many celebrated jewellery pieces that can be metamorphosed to be worn in more than one way; global property developer and provider of premier lifestlyes, Emaar; and leading German car manufacturer Audi; together with strategic partner Dubai Culture & Arts Authority. Design Days Dubai is a key element of Art Week, the Middle East’s largest and most diverse cultural event annually, which is set to welcome thousands of residents and visitors in March 2013.

BC Trent Jansen Briggs Family Tea Service 2دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة،  17ديسمبر 2012:تقام الدورة الثانية من معرض «أيام التصميم – دبي» خلال الفترة بين 21-18 مارس 2013، وستعرض خلال الدورة المرتقبة 29صالة من حول العالم تصاميم وإبداعات فريدة بجودة أخاذة، إذ سيزداد عدد العارضين خلال النسخة الثانية بنسبة 30 بالمئة مقارنة بنسخة عام 2012. وبالإضافة إلى كونه المعرض الوحيد المتخصِّص في عالم التصميم في الشرق الأوسط وجنوب آسيا، يُعدُّ «أيام التصميم – دبي» أحد أكثر معارض التصميم تنوعاً في العالم، إذ يشارك به حشدٌ من كبار المصمِّمين ونخبة من أشهر الصالات الفنية من مختلف أنحاء العالم، الأمر الذي وطَّد مكانة دبي كملتقى سنوي لمشاهير عالم التصميم وكوجهة للباحثين عن أحدث مفاهيم التصميم من حول العالم.

ويتميُّز «أيام التصميم – دبي» من خلال التصاميم التركيبية، والفعاليات العامة المرافقة التي تشمل ورش العمل الإبداعية والتدريبية واللقاءات الحوارية بدعم من «هيئة دبي للثقافة والفنون»، الهيئة المعنية بشؤون الثقافة والفنون والتراث في الإمارة. كما الهيئة الفنية التي تعمل على تعزيز مكانة الإمارة كمدينة عربية عالمية تساهم في رسم ملامح المشهد الثقافي والفني في المنطقة والعالم، كما يتميز هذا الحدث بموقعه الفريد عند قاعدة «برج خليفة»، أعلى ناطحة سحاب في العالم والذي يشكل عماد “وسط مدينة دبي”، المشروع الأبرز لشركة إعمار العقارية والذي يوصف بقلب العالم الحاضر.

وبهذه المناسبة، قال سيريل زاميت، مدير معرض «أيام التصميم – دبي»: “في أقل من عامين، بات «أيام التصميم – دبي» أحد أكثر معارض التصميم تنوعاً في العالم، ليساهم بذلك في ترسيخ مكانة دبي كملتقى دولي للمقتنين والمصمِّمين والقيِّمين والقائمين على الصالات الفنية، المخضرمين والصاعدين على السواء. وبفضل «أيام التصميم – دبي» وجدت دبي مكانها المستحق بين نخبة من مُدن العالم التي دأبت على استضافة معارض متخصِّصة تجمع بين الفن والتصميم في آنٍ معاً، مثل لندن وباريس وبازل ونيويورك وميامي”.

وبعد أن باتت التصاميم محدودة الإصدار تعتبر من الاستثمارات الآمنة والواعدة على المستوى الإقليمي والدولي، تتضمن النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» أعمالاً عصرية لم تُر من قبل، جنباً إلى جنب مع أعمال كلاسيكية من القرن العشرين. ومن أشهر الصالات العالمية التي شاركت بالنسخة الأولى من «أيام التصميم – دبي» وتعود مجدداً للمشاركة في الدورة الثانية يذكر كل من:Carpenters Workshop Gallery (لندن/باريس)، وR20th Century (نيويورك)، وGallery Seomi (سول)، ومن الصالات التي تستعد لمشاركتها الأولى بالدورة المرتقبة Broached Commissions (ملبورن) وGaleriaMexicana de Diseño(مكسيكو سيتي). كما تضاعفت المشاركة الإقليمية في النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» وسط تنافس الصالات الإقليمية على المشاركة، لاسيما من دبي،والكويت، وبيروت.

ومن أهمّ ما تتسم به الدورة المرتقبة التركيز على التصاميم المستدامة، وكذلك توسُّع نطاق قسم «تصاميم حسب الطلب» حيث من المتوقع أن تعرض أربع دُور متخصِّصة رؤيتها وإبداعاتها. ولصقل اللمسة الإبداعية للجيل القادم من مشاهير التصميم تشمل النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» برنامجاً لإثراء قدراتهم الإبداعية ضمن البرنامج العام الذي يستمر لأربعة أيام ويشمل لقاءات حوارية وورش عمل تنصبّ على قضايا التصميم الراهنة.

وحظيت النسخة الثانية المرتقبة من «أيام التصميم – دبي» بدعم نخبة من أشهر الأسماء العالمية والإقليمية، منها دار المجوهرات الفخمة «فان كليف آند آربلز» التي ستعرض مفهوماً إبداعياً مميزاً سيسلط الضوء على مجموعة مرموقة من المجوهرات الأخاذة التي يمكن تعديل أفكارها بحيث يمكن ارتدائها بأكثر من أسلوب. بالإضافة إلى  شركة التطوير العقاري العالمية “إعمار”، وشركة صناعة السيارات الألمانية «أودي»، جنباً إلى جنب مع «هيئة دبي للثقافة والفنون» التي ستكون شريكاً استراتيجياً للحدث. يُذكر أن «أيام التصميم – دبي» ينضوي تحت مِظلة «أسبوع الفن»، التظاهرة الثقافية الإبداعية الأكبر من نوعها في الشرق الأوسط، حيث من المتوقع أن تستقطب في شهر مارس 2013الألاف من الزوار من الدولة والعالم.

AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT BROOKE SHIELDS’S MANHATTAN HOME

Text by Judith Thurman |Photography by William Waldron

Brooke Shields has packed more professional accomplishment into her 40-some-odd years than many people twice her age, though it helps that she started modeling as an infant, acting at nine (she was 11 when she played the title role in Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby), and that, at 14, she became the youngest cover girl in Vogue’s history. But just as her beauty seems to deepen without dimming, Shields keeps reinventing herself, as an author, a producer, a product spokeswoman, and a mental-health advocate. Her latest venture is designing jewelry.

When you wear that many hats, you need a big place to hang them. Last July—shortly after Shields joined the Broadway cast of The Addams Family, as Morticia—she moved into a discreetly luxurious four-story Greenwich Village townhouse, where she gets to play the role closest to her heart: passionate homebody.

There are a few things we could be talking about today.

The Avengers. Sarkozy. How in the world Mad Mencould afford a Beatles song.

But instead, we’re talking about camping. And how you can win at it.

Up first: get a butler…

And meet Shelter Co., a fleet of wilderness-savvy hosts setting up luxury campsites all over California, taking reservations now.

Sure, roughing it has its rewards: fresh air, peace and quiet, the rare opportunity to commune with woodchucks. This is who you’ll call when you want all of that—without having to forego your morning shower.

It’ll go like this. Step one: pick where you’ll be camping (think intimate rendezvous for two or something group-oriented on the Playa). Step two: call these guys. Step three: pick your amenities (fire pits, outdoor movie theater, private restrooms—seriously). Step four: show up to your fully furnished, carpeted, European-style canvas tent and enjoy responsibly. Step five: they’ll come in and break it down for you. Boom. You did it.

Oh, and about that butler thing: you can get a camping butler, who’ll unobtrusively tend the fire, mix cocktails, roast marshmallows and provide turndown service.

You’re on your own for fending off bears.

ANDREA BRANZI / TREES / PARIS

10 MARCH – 16 MAY 2012 / PARIS

“When birch tree forests are pruned or agricultural cultivations of fruit trees are picked, they are dispersed or burned. I have always been fascinated by these parts of nature, that continue to give off a grand expressive force, more powerful when they are combined with modern, perfect and industrial materials. They become mysterious, always diverse, unique, unrepeatable and somewhat sacred presences.
Trees, trunks and branches are part of our ancient culture but also of actual culture, because in the age of globalization, design searches to trace recognizable ‘anthropologoical’ platforms. The collection, ‘Trees’ consists to place simple, everyday objects, books, and images next to the strange presence of branches and trunks, like in the reality of the world.”

Andrea Branzi
In a short time, Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris has already treated us to a regular and rich demonstration of Design Art: in March, Andrea Branzi will be given space to express himself as a free and committed thinker with this new collection « Trees ».
In a space that was once the Galerie de France, a place where contemporary art flourished, Catherine Thieck will come back to pose a few objects from her own collection on the shelves of Andrea Branzi. Works by Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Méret Oppenheim and Rebecca Horn will fill the shelves
of an artist whose personality and preoccupations have remained consistently at the avant-garde of the architecture and design world.
The Italian architect and designer Andrea Branzi, born in 1938, was ahead of his time in Florence in 1966 when he set up Archizoom associati, the first, internationally renowned avant-garde group. In order to define this remarkable character, one must use the vocabulary of projects: theoretical research, new
design, experimental laboratory, leeway, mass creativity, new organisation… He also knows how to share his battles, he coordinates and curates exhibitions, he regularly exhibits his personal work, publishes manifestos, teaches generations of students and participates in conferences all over the world. In fact, multiple spaces would be needed to cover all angles of the man: a screening room, an auditorium, a museum and more than a few metres of shelf space.
Andrea Branzi is passionate about the morphology of urban space; he breaks down the accepted codes and vigorously shakes the foundations of the ever-present conventions. Today more than ever, this insatiable troublemaker continues to disrupt the status quo and places humans and nature at the centre of his thinking.
« Trees » represents a continuation of his thinking on architecture. He creates a minimalist space of shelves, veritable pieces of micro-architecture made from aluminium that spread out in neo-plastic bursts like a Mondrian. However, through the splits in the frame, Andrea Branzi introduces trunks and twigs gathered in the wild. This strange encounter that began in the eighties with « Animali domestici », questions the duality of the nature-culture relationship.
With « Trees », he adds a dimension, an extra slice of soul, as nature becomes art, a contemporary icon, an emotional window linked to the knowledge of the vital importance of this precious, common heritage.
Pieces on show:
Seven shelves, in different shapes and formats, in aluminium and birch wood.
Trees 1-2-3-4, Trees 5, Trees 8-9
