“My intention is to consider only the nature of the object: its use. Without necessarily exposing a signature, craftsmanship, the beauty of a material or a pattern. The object appears in its strict form. By stretching to the limit materials and their application, the act of drawing self destructs. Resulting in an aesthetic dimension out of any will.”
_
Martin Szekely
, Paris 2011

The Galerie kreo is proud to present “UNITS” by Martin Szekely. This exhibition is dedicated to the famous French collector Marcel Brient.

The collection “UNITS” is composed of a series of shelves “UNIT SHELVES” and towers of drawers “UNIT TOWERS”.

The “UNIT SHELVES” can be accumulated and stacked at will—without dimensional limits: from one meter sixty to infinity. This typical unit form allows a large flexibility: a well-ordered construction or an irregular composition as well as a multiplicity of forms. Its scale can be related to either furniture and architecture.

Each module is the result of a cast of liquid plaster in its mold. The matte finish white plaster used is highly technical and of incomparable density.

The weight of each module has been precisely calculated to ensure the stability of the
stacking process, without having to use a mechanical process.

Transparent and opaque doors can be added to slide between the modules. “UNIT TOWERS” are round towers of drawers, which allow a 360° use.

In parallel with this exhibition the Galerie kreo is proud to announce the upcoming personal exhibition of Martin Szekely « Ne Plus Dessiner » at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, from October 12th 2011 until January 2nd 2012.
