Picture Room
117 Atlantic Avenue

where David Reinfurt will present research from a six month fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. 

In 1965, Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari released the Tetracono with an event and exhibition at the Danese Milano showroom, inviting spectators to ". . . meet the Tetracono" as if it was a person. Instead Tetracono is a product, an austere 15-cm black steel cube housing four aluminum cones, each painted half-red and half-green, designed to spin at four distinct speeds on an 18-minute cycle. Its function is to “show forms while they are in the process of becoming.” Taking the form of a carousel of travel slides, David will informally present his work over the last six months at the American Academy in Rome reanimating this strange product-artwork and will address the fertile grey areas between art and design including how this territory has shifted in the meantime.

A new Dexter Sinister industrial-artisan silkscreen print (“Stampa Programmata”) will also be launched. This work was commissioned and produced by COLLI Independent in Rome where it also formed the center of an exhibition. 

The slideshow will last about 30 minutes. Kids are quite welcome.
