Opis zbirateljskega predmeta

Bauhaus defined the aesthetics of the machine age. The ambition was to reshape society and provide comfort and health to the many with the help of industrial tools. Technology has evolved over the last 100 years, beyond what could have been foreseen at the time, and along with the realization of the limitation and environmental impact of modern lifestyles. Design is a product of its time and place, a new century of design calls for technological progress but also social and environmental responsibility. In an age where synthetic biology is becoming reality, Design is facing a new an unprecedented ethical dilemma. Not only are we to define the aesthetics of the bioengineered age, pushing progress and challenging the status quo; but also, often in radical opposition, question the longterm social and environmental impact of our work. “To make or not to make” is the burning question. 100 years on the optimistic and humanistic vision of the Bauhaus is blurring, as we are reminded every day of our uncertain future. As we question the past, we must be grateful for the progress that modernity has brought upon us, but also come to realize that the complexity of human behaviour and the natural world upon which we rely won’t ever be coerced and controlled. Engineered Nature is a conceptual project that questions the necessary yet perfidious hubris of designers; it confronts us with engineered nature in the shape of geometric and symmetrical trees. The objects are designed to be both attractive yet also highlight the loss of resolution and complexity compared with natural beings. The project is an exploration of the limitations of engineered thinking, an invitation to reconsider our relationship with the natural world, a call to collaboration with rather than dominion over nature.

Emmanuel Wolfs & Boyoung Jung: Sculptors of Synthetic Forests

Wolfs & Jung, a Korean artist collective born in London in 2003, represents a fascinating intersection between artistic vision and scientific inquiry. Founded by emmanuel wolfs (be) and boyoung jung (kr), their collaborative practice has steadily gained international recognition for its distinctive approach to sculptural art – specifically, the creation of meticulously crafted “engineered forests.” These aren’t merely representations of trees; they are complex constructions that challenge our understanding of nature itself, prompting contemplation on ethical considerations surrounding design and environmental stewardship.

Early Influences & Formation: The genesis of Wolfs & Jung's artistic journey occurred amidst the vibrant cultural landscape of London. Initially drawn to experimental sculpture techniques, wolfs’ background in engineering complemented jung’s passion for botany and ecological studies. This dual expertise proved pivotal in shaping their conceptual framework – a desire to explore how human intervention can simultaneously enhance and distort our perception of natural environments.
Conceptual Core: At the heart of Wolfs & Jung's artistic endeavor lies a profound preoccupation with the relationship between humanity and nature. They grapple with questions concerning sustainability, technological advancement, and the responsibility we bear for preserving biodiversity. Their sculptures serve as visual metaphors for these complex issues, inviting viewers to consider alternative perspectives on ecological balance.
Technique & Material Exploration: The collective’s sculptural process is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and an innovative utilization of materials. Primarily employing CNC milling machines – a testament to wolfs' engineering prowess – they transform timber into geometrically precise forms, often incorporating resin and other synthetic substances. This deliberate fusion of organic and inorganic elements underscores their commitment to questioning conventional artistic boundaries.
Notable Exhibitions & Recognition: Wolfs & Jung’s work has garnered considerable acclaim on the international stage. Their installations have graced prominent venues such as the Gwangju Biennale exhibition hall in South Korea, showcasing their ability to engage audiences with intellectually stimulating and aesthetically captivating artworks. These exhibitions solidify their position as leading voices within contemporary sculptural art.
Ongoing Artistic Vision: Today, Wolfs & Jung continue to push the boundaries of artistic expression, driven by a steadfast dedication to exploring themes of ecological consciousness and technological innovation. Their ongoing projects aim to provoke dialogue about how we can reconcile our desires for progress with the imperative to safeguard the planet’s natural heritage – a mission that speaks powerfully to the urgent concerns facing artists and audiences alike.
