Ali Rahim is sex appeal

Residential Tower in Dubai, spaces sold “volumetrically” rather than “planmetrically”, just what the doctor ordered.

I’m seein’ some gothic in those curves . . . .

 

Petah Coyne, part II

So, doing a little research, I might see a connection. Highlights from a gallery review:

The figures always seem to be tied to the earth.

The weight of these things is stunning—hundreds of pounds, requiring special moving cases to support the structures in transport. Coyne is showing us the beauty of the world and its burdens.

The works of Petah Coyne are utterly about being female. (aka “girly” in Spuybroek terms)

The figures, dissected by walls, certainly suggest the dichotomy of two worlds, and we can play with what these worlds are—private and public, protected and exposed, individual and stereotypical, sacred and secular. (structure vs facade perhaps?)

Reality vs. Perception. The real woman is in the strength; the perception is in how she is adorned.

By Saturday, I should have our latest gothic iterations up.

 

Petah Coyne

. . . . I think he wants us to hang stuff???
