'Spaces In Between' curated by Aldo Bakker for Libby Sellers

15 October- 14 December '13

London

Gallery Libby Sellers is showing Spaces In Between - a group show curated by the award-winning designer Aldo Bakker.

Contemplation and communication are at the heart of Bakker’s practice; his works in wood, metal, glass and ceramic are rigorously considered and purposely provoke reaction from the end user. By way of highlighting this, and to initiate a dialogue with the gallery, Bakker was invited to select objects from both the gallery’s existing works and his own extensive repertoire in order to create interesting conversations, connections and juxtapositions between the two.

Having had free access to the gallery's entire inventory, Bakker's choices confirm his position as an arbiter of materials, detail and form. His final selection comprises works by Formafantasma, Max Lamb, Julia Lohmann, Peter Marigold, Jonathan Muecke and Lex Pott – and each is presented as counterpoints with specific designs from Bakker's own works. While Bakker introduces these interchanges between objects, it is left to the visitor to bring their own interpretations and translations to the conversations.
