High Museum of Art to Present First Museum Survey for Experimental Dutch Designer Joris Laarman
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HIGH MUSEUM OF ART TO PRESENT FIRST MUSEUM SURVEY FOR EXPERIMENTAL DUTCH DESIGNER JORIS LAARMAN Spring 2018 exhibition will feature groundbreaking designs from the High’s collection, which represents the second largest public repository of Laarman’s work in the world ATLANTA, Sept. 6, 2017 – From furniture generated by algorithms to a “living” lampshade made of genetically modified cells, the work of pioneering Dutch designer Joris Laarman (born 1979) redefines the boundaries between art, science and technology. The High Museum of Art will offer an in-depth look at his innovative oeuvre as the exclusive Southeast venue for “Joris Laarman Lab: Design in the Digital Age.” The exhibition, on view Feb. 18 through May 13, 2018, will feature numerous designs from the High’s collection, which boasts the largest public holdings of the Dutch artist’s work outside of his home country. Organized by the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, “Joris Laarman Lab” is the first museum survey to comprehensively explore Laarman’s creative prowess and curiosity through a range of works dating from 2004 to the present that blend emerging technologies with skilled craftsmanship. Furniture designs, applied projects and experiments from every phase of his career are presented alongside related videos, sketches and renderings that illustrate the Joris Laarman Lab’s creative and production processes. Founded in 2004, the Lab is a multidisciplinary hub of scientists, engineers, programmers and craftspeople who explore the possibilities of design through research, experimentation and groundbreaking technology. “Laarman and his Lab are design pioneers and idea detonators. Laarman’s intellectual, thoughtful and collaborative approach to design propels him to explore new means and methods for creating, resulting in a remarkably innovative and beautiful body of work,” said Sarah Schleuning, High Museum of Art curator of decorative arts and design.

Joris Laarman Solo Exhibition Joris Laarman Lab: Gradients
Joris Laarman Solo Exhibition Joris Laarman Lab: Gradients Press Conference: May 10 (Thurs.), 2018, 1:30PM at Kukje Gallery K2 Exhibition Dates: May 10 – June 17, 2018 Venue: Kukje Gallery K2 Kukje Gallery is pleased to announce Joris Laarman Lab: Gradients, a solo exhibition of work by Joris Laarman on view from May 10 to June 17, 2018, in the gallery's K2 space. Laarman’s second exhibition at Kukje Gallery following his debut in 2011, Joris Laarman Lab: Gradients presents new and recent works spanning four years of cutting-edge experimentation in the designer’s Amsterdam-based Joris Laarman Lab (hereafter “the Lab”). The installation will allow audiences to encounter a broad range of his work, framing both his skills in design and engineering as well as his visionary aesthetic. The artworks will be presented alongside related videos, sketches, and renderings that illustrate the Lab’s commitment to experimentation and innovative creative processes. Gradients is comprised of works from all of the Lab’s recent series, including Microstructures, Dragon, Maker, and Gradient Screen. The Microstructures series is based on gradient patterning and explores the pioneering use of 3D printing technology at the scale of furniture. Each work is made up of cells that vary in form, size or function. For the Dragon Benches and Gradient Screen, the Lab developed a revolutionary large scale metal printing tool, the MX3D metal printer, enabling the Lab to create unprecedented sculptural works by drawing complex curved lines and surfaces in mid-air that were previously not feasible. Various versions of Dragon Benches are now in museum collections around the world, and serve as proof of concept for much larger architectural and infrastructural projects like the Lab’s first 3D printed stainless steel bridge—to be completed later this year.
