Atmospherics

Phillips de Pury & Company, New York presents ‘Atmospherics’ a gallery exhibition of ‘Object Architecture’ by Asymptote founder Hani Rashid.
Embodying Asymptote’s radical architecture practice built on hybridity and spatial explorations, the exhibition features work including the Ivo_03, a table crafted from slumped glass placed atop an undulating sheet cut from a single block of Tula steel, and Baldaquin de Pury, a physically impressive ring structure whose elusive function depends on the viewer’s perspective and whimsy.
Because of their large scale, and their purposefully ambiguous function, these inarguably beautiful works hover between sculpture and furniture, object and building.
At a moment when art, design and architecture seem to merge ever closer, the objects within the
Atmospherics gallery exhibition at Phillips de Pury, New York challenge us to reconsider the limits and creative possibilities of each discipline.
