Summer of space

Ordering to have the store room and the kitchen removed from the Witte de With exhibtion space (in these pictures the show is still under construction) New Zealand artist Billy Apple created this spacy hallway. The newly epoxied floor and early Dutch summer days create some stunning effects too!

Schöner Wohnen

The Aarnio chair I wishfully talked about here, is featured this year in the Danish pavilion at the Venice Biennale, curated by Elmgeen & Dragset. The artist duo turned the pavilion into the home of a fictional homosexual art collector, who collects Wolfgang Tillmans and Tom of Finland among others. Not that I would want to live there (the pool is the setting for a sinister Sunset Boulevard re-enactment). I am more fond of the horror vacui of the interior that Fiona Tan filmed for her contribution to the Dutch pavilion. (You can watch a two-minutes excerpt of the video Disorient here). It looks like an oriental museum stock room that could have been the home of a 19th century orientalist dandy like Des Essientes (that other fictional homosexual art collector) from the novel by J. K. Huysmans. Now in who's house would you rather live? I don't know which of these two houses is more scary.
