Disney Rejection Letter, 1938

Description originale

This letter originally belonged to my grandmother. After she passed away we discovered it and were surprised at how well it was preserved for being nearly 70 years old.

The letter speaks for itself and it remarkable to note how times have changed since then.

Curiosity Object

Description originale

Both pieces of furniture and display windows, these lights act as small curiosity cabinets highlighting the beauty and strangeness of their subjects.
When turned off, the bulb and socket disappear beneath an opaque black tinted glass. When lit, the bulb gradually reveals itself behind a soft veil, never dazzling. The base is made of blackened oak and the bell of blown glass.
This series sets different scenes of an exhibition, inciting one to observe and reflect. These lights question what is to be looked at: the object or its content? Where are we supposed to be focusing our attention in this day and age?

For its first presentation, we have chosen to present construction debris.
Under these luminous bells, they become specimens of a strange preciousness. From the displayed object, the glance shifts to the exhibiting object.

Au croisement du mobilier et de la vitrine, ces luminaires fonctionnent comme de petits cabinets de curiosité qui mettent en lumière l’étrangeté des choses de ce monde. Lorsque la lampe est éteinte, l’ampoule et la douille disparaissent sous l’opacité du verre teinté au noir. Lorsqu’elle est allumée, l’ampoule se dessine progressivement derrière un voile noir dégradé, sans éblouir. Les pieds sont en chêne noirci et les cloches sont en verre soufflé.

La série compose différentes scènes d’une exposition qui invite à l’observation, à la réflexion.
Ces luminaires questionnent sur ce qu’il faut regarder ; l’objet ou ce qu’il contient ?
Sur quoi sommes-nous supposés porter notre attention aujourd’hui ?

Pour l’installation à la Galerie Cat Berro, nous avons choisi de présenter des déchets issus de la construction. Sous cette cloche lumineuse, ils deviennent des matériaux d’une étrange préciosité.

USB TYPEWRITER

Description originale

A New Lease on Type

Think back, do you remember the last time you used a typewriter? Do you recall the resonant click clack of the keys as you plugged in every letter, eventually forming words, sentences, paragraphs, even whole manuscripts? What about the delight you felt sliding the carriage back into place with a zip and ring whenever it was time to start a new line of copy? Even a tech fanatic can admit that there was something uniquely exciting about using a typewriter that you just can’t replicate typing into a smartphone, an iPad or a computer.

The thrill of using a typewriter may be passing from memory, but Jack Zylkin’s groundbreaking innovation brings this mechanical marvel out of retirement and offers a nod to its influence on the development of modern automation. For ardent admirers of the look, feel, and robust quality of an old-fashioned manual typewriter, the USB Typewriter^TM allows you to use this once obsolete tool as a keyboard that plugs into any USB-capable device, such as your PC, Mac, or even your iPad! Plus, this new-and-improved gadget features all the advanced functions of a modern keyboard, such as ctrl, alt, esc, and arrow keys, so your typewriter is ready to keep up with your twenty-first century demands. Made in Philadelphia.
