Out on newsstands today T Magazine: More than 60 years into the architect and artist Gaetano Pesce's career, his doughy-looking, gelatinous furniture is held up as a rebuttal to the uniformity of minimalist design: a modular sofa resembling a city skyline at dusk; a jewel-tone resin cabinet in the shape of a man on all fours; a biomorphic, womblike red armchair tethered to a spherical ottoman - a comment on female subjugation and, he says, "better than Brancusi." In 2020, when New York gallery Salon 94 Design, approached the Aspen Art Museum about mounting an exhibition of his objects in the institution's four-story space, designed by Shigeru Ban and covered on two sides with a severe woven-wood grid, the 82-year-old recalls having said, "I won't do it in a prison." As a workaround, Pesce proposed "My Dear Mountains," a site-specific installation comprising LEDs and 3-D inflatable volumes that would temporarily obscure the building's facade with the image of a sun setting behind a mountain range on a starry night. "For some reason, they enjoyed the idea," Pesce explains from his colorful, cluttered studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as he examines some sierra-shaped resin vases, which will go on sale in an edition of 25 when the show opens on May 25.
