Arik Levy
註釋An engaging look at more than a decade of ?design focused? work by the Paris-based Israeli multidisciplinarian and worldwide creative. Following on from Arik Levy: Art, Arik Levy: Design continues the discussion on Levy's work in relation to the core concern of the dichotomy within his practice and the deconstruction of wider barriers that persist between the fields of art and design. Conceptual strategist, innovator, artist, technician, photographer, designer and video artist, Arik Levy's skills are truly multi-disciplinary. According to Levy himself, ?creation is an uncontrolled muscle?, a definition that sums up his design style. His interests cover a range of areas, from graphic design to high-tech clothing, from limited edition series ? in materials such as stainless steel, wood and glass used in innovative ways? to large-scale outdoor sculptures and from silver jewels and accessories to mixed media installations. Ever since the establishment of his practice in Paris in 1992, his range of activities has grown to include industrial design, prospective studies, packaging, image design and graphics, contemporary jewellery, interior architecture, exhibitions and stage design for contemporary dance. Projects include: visual identity, product and packaging design for Hennessy cognac; Wireflow lighting collection for Vibia; a kitchen-top water bar for Sodax; crystalware and lighting collections for Baccarat; collaborations with furniture makers such as Molteni & C., Ligne Roset, Viccarbe; objects for Gaia & Gino, Verreum, ENO and many more; office system designs for Vitra, the interior design of the Cartier headquarters in Paris, where he designed everything from technical walls to tables, storage system to specific lightings; Water=Life a stone shaped bottle opener that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing for Omabia, a social benefit association. Arik Levy has exhibited at Santa Monica Museum of Art; Hedge Gallery, San Francisco; Eighth Veil Gallery, Los Angeles; Design Miami; Wright20, Chicago; Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston; as well as the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Victoria and Albert, London; and many others worldwide.
