‘Broken Things’ by Livia Marin, an exhibition at House of Propellers, London is a group of 25 Porcelain and ceramic objects with resin plaster, lacquer, transfer-print, varnish.
Beginning with forms such as a humble porcelain cup, bowl or jug, Marin turns familiar pieces into precious handcrafted art objects through distortion; essentially emphasising through imperfection their uniqueness and beauty.
Smooth melted rounds meet awkward corners, and pattern meets sheen and gloss in a collection unified by material and a swerve from the expected.’

Glaskasten in Marl by Wingardh Arkitektkontor is an addition to the sculpture museum Marl town hall in Germany designed by Bakema and van den Broek in 1958-62.

‘Long and narrow like a tube, but solid and unmovable like a block of concrete.

In between these two extremes stands the extension to the Marl town hall, designed by Bakema and van den Broek in 1958-62. 

Their ponderous brutalism resounds through the massive walls of the ex-tension, where the trees on the site have been made to leave their imprint. A relief art work signed by artist Lars Bergström.
