The magic goblet of Saint Alcoholica is a new sculpture by Mimi Berlin. Have a look see; it’s too cute, don’t you think? Even if you are an alcoholic person you’ll have to admit that…..
The magic goblet of Saint alcoholica. Assemblage made with plastic, rubber, marble and glass.
This sculpture is a ‘Random story” by Mimi Berlin. Random stories a series of mini installations , which all tell a different tale, are allnmade with discarded objects gathered by Mimi Berlin. Who else?!
Patterns as Time is the name of the presentation of two Japanese design-studios; AtMa and Noiz, they both collaborated with DNP (Dai Nippon Printing) Innovative Design Center for Milan Design Week 2019. The presentation is clearly divided into 2 spaces: on the left, in full color, the installation ‘Time Printing’ by AtMa and ‘Patterns of Nature’ on the right in black, white and grey. The installations have in common that they are made in transparent layers and change colors in a subtle way. Walking through this installation is a fairytale-like experience, or maybe, if we get more poetic; a high-tech artificial fairytale forest where light, sound and color come to life. And, let’s not forget, this all is designed for your home. (or maybe for your store) It’s interior decoration.
We, at Mimi Berlin, feel that i’ts always interesting to see ‘creatives’ and ‘techs’ working together because both disciplines can serve eachother to reach the next-level. Collaborations like this also can simply save time, so there’s more left to create new things. Why invent the weel if it’s already there, or why come up with ideas that already have been produced? What do you think? Let’s make some conversation below!
Click this link to read more about this presentation on the DNP site. If you are really interested the rest of their site is interesting because they are one of the largest printing companies worldwide. (it’s a very ‘dry’ website so you really need to dig hard.
Maarten Baas presented his newest work, the video installation ‘I Think Therefore I was‘ for the fiirst time at Ventura Centrale this year; 2019, at Milan Design Week.
We waited until MDW19 was over with our post, so we couldn’t spoil the surprise effect this installation could have. If you didn’t have the tme to visit; here’s your chance!
The ‘Muro delle Bambole’ is a protest, or a way to highlight violence towards/killing of women: that’s femicide in one word. The Wall of Dolls Milan can be found outside, in the Via De Amicis 2. It’s a very grim and gloomy installation of a collection, with maybe hunderds of dolls: tattered, dirty and grey (because they’ve been outside since 2015) they hang from a metal rack.
Amongst the dolls are posters which explain what you’re looking at, images of women who died and also some dried out flowers. So we guess it became a monument as well to remember the female victims of (domestic) violence.
The initator of these walls, which are scattered througout Italy, is Italian TV host Jo Squillo, she works with the organization ‘WeWorld’ in Italy. Continue reading
One Two Three Swing! Work by the Superflex trio is on show at the Tate Modern in London. Mimi Berlin Blogger Team’s Mr and Mrs J. went to this exhibition and took these images for us. We aren’t quite sure if they were impressed. We need to call them and check it out. In the meantime we suggest you visit here to learn more about this exhibition.

Town and Concrete is architect Cyril Lancelin who started this creative studio in 2016. Mr Lancelin practices *Parametric design. (in layman’s terms: He creates his designs with geometrical shapes on which he sets a bunch of calculations, or algorithms, loose) Lancelin creates projects; he imagines art Installations and private houses. We feel that on one hand they look friendly, almost childlike or made for children, and on the other hand they seem brutalist 1970s monsters. The “Green Chapel”, for instance, is an inflatable one, just as House “hemi” it is ‘situated’ in Normandy, France. The installation ‘chain’ is travelling from place to place (we guess it’s inflatable as well). The House ‘hill’; an outdoor shaded patio with parametric walls as limits, is imagined in Los Angeles, USA.

We aren’t quite sure how many of these creations are actually made, because we only could find renderings made by ‘Town and Concrete’, (that answers our question probably) although the latest work “knot” seems to be: see that on designboom.com
