Eames, the Eames, and Herman Miller

We recently had the privilege of hanging out with Eames Demetrious, grandson of legendary designers Charles and Ray Eames. For those who don’t know, The Eames’s changed the world through their designs. It’s almost guaranteed that everyone in the modern world has encountered an Eames design at some point in his or her life.

Eames Demetrious, head of Eames Office and an artist in his own right, was stopping through Jakarta in conjunction with the launch of the new book 100 Quotes by Charles Eames and an exhibit of his grandfather’s photographs. Herman Miller, producer of the Eames furniture, organized the exhibition at O House Gallery. We were very excited to see the selection of photographs in person, and be able to talk with Eames about his personal connection with them. One image that we particularly liked was a self-portrait of Charles and Ray’s reflection in the window of their case study house.

Eames ended his visit with a lecture at Aksara bookstore in Kemang. A small but dedicated crowd turned out to meet him and learn first hand about the history behind the family and business. He told great stories about visiting his grandparent’s house as a child, his first camera (given to him by Charles), and Charles’s friendship with designer, Eero Saarinen. Even though Eames was there as an ambassador of the Eames Office and Herman Miller, we had a chance to speak with him privately about his own work as an artist and film maker. You can check out more about his various projects here and his parallel universe here.

C+C Projects: Nike Sportswear Launch Jakarta

In August we worked along side Future 10 Productions to launch the new Nike Sportswear line in Jakarta. This was part of a global launch to coincide with the Beijing Olympics, in which countries all over the world held locally organized events. Aside from collaborating with Future 10 on the creative concept, we curated a video art exhibition, worked with designer, Leo Theosabrata on the exhibition space and developed a limited edition set of flip books. The video exhibition featured 8 Indonesian artists/ art groups who created new works inspired Nike's 8 icon products. Each of the videos stood out with the artist's unique style, and were an amazing contribution to the show.

Thanks to the guys at WhatNot for all their help, and a special thanks to all of the artists: Ademus & M. Akbar, Adel Pasha, Anton Ismael, Darbotz, The Secret Agents, Irwan Ahmett, Ate (Open Labs), and The Slyndicates.

Check out pics of the space and event. Also, keep an eye out for another posting about the flip books.

Mapping Invisible Cities at Goethe Haus, Jakarta

This was another show that I thought was worth mentioning. Mapping Invisible Cities included works from several photographers throughout south and southeast Asia.

Davy Linggar show at Ark Galeri

I know this is really old news to some, but I came across some pics of Davy Linggar's show at Ark Galerie and thought I should post them.
