Hans Stofer’s Design Wilderness – A Place Where Art Meets Design

Hans Stofer's work is witty and engaging, his jewelry brings a fresh air to 
personal adornment with its openness to the gender of who might wear the 
work. But, there is also a sting in the tail with most of his pieces as the 
artist questions our traditional cultural values - thinking that is not 
dissimilar to that of the DADA movement (interestingly, this irrational spirit in 
arts was also born in Zurich).

Professor Hans Stofer teaches at the Royal College of Art, London. 
Following the booth talk, Stofer will sign copies of Design Wilderness.

Saturday, April 16, 12:30
Booth Talk: Aaron Faber Gallery, booth 203
Michael Good: Non-Definitive Form in Sculpture

Michael Good shares his vision of sculpture in metal using a technique 
called anticlastic raising. Good defines the process as putting non-definitive 
curves directly into sheet metal, meaning the form can go from the center 
out, like the big bang. At a certain level, the form buckles, goes into a state 
of chaos, and then re-buckles into a more sophisticated state. That's what 
happened to the universe, this same movement. It is the greatest innovation 
in metalsmithing in 2000 years.
