Tension can come from two separate objects, or, even better, both qualities can exist in a single piece. The eye should be captivated by every view of a space, whether by a dominating architectural feature or a moveable tablescape. Furniture provides the foundation for treasured and personal objects to be showcased. Arrange with care to add emotion to a given space, creating a captivating vignette or a beautiful mise–en–scéne. The shape of something, the way one’s eye and spirit reacts to it, is as important to the soul of a room as the color of its walls. Whether it’s the soft curve of a female nude, the sharp edges of an art deco chair, or the geometric pattern of a marble floor, our visual senses are constantly absorbing the ebb and flow. I have a long–standing love affair with metal. It is glamorous and sexy, rich, raw and evocative. Take risks and mix metals. Doing so gives depth to a space that is otherwise impossible. Proportion and scale can be used in unexpected ways to create balanced and dynamic spaces; both big and small. Monochromatic environments are deceptively simple. They require a huge measure of creativity to achieve a calming, yet impactful effect. Let the spirit guide you. Follow it.

    Guo, Avita, “Universe of Sands,” Vogue China, April 2018, pp. 288-291 This March, Gagosian opened Jennifer Guidi’s first solo exhibition in Asia. The artist, aka the “IT girl” in American art circles, will also have the world premiere of her new body of triangular-shaped canvases during the Hong Kong art season. After nearly two decades of creative experiments with paint and sand, Guidi’s art has gradually turned into an introspective spiritual journey, while the artist herself has also evolved from a quiet girl hailing from a desert city to a top-rated artist much sought after by the world’s rich and famous. With craftsman-like dedication and the grace of an urban sophisticate, Guidi has created a spiritual universe that often stares us right in the face. Being an LA artist, Jennifer Guidi is often billed as “the rising West Coast painter”, a label that has somehow stuck. But unlike other “rising artists” such as Oscar Murillo and Guan Xiao, who were born in the 80s, Jen- nifer was born in 1972 in Redondo Beach on the coast of California, and grew up in Palm Desert. The style of her works is unmistakably Californian, boasting a palette and texture informed by her personal experience – an adolescence spent moving around with her family from the East Coast to California, followed by a relocation from Manhattan Beach to Orange County before settling in the quiet city of Palm Desert. Her mother was en- amored with Van Gogh’s prints, while her father was an art and fashion aficionado working at a typical country club, whose influence led to a series of artistic encounters that sparked little Guidi’s interest in painting.

  • PB Primer1, V1.1Ł.DOC
    Revision 1.1 19 SEPTEMBER 1997 © National Fire Protection Association, 1997 National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269-9101 USA Preface This primer (Primer 1) has been developed by the NFPA Performance-Based Support Team (PB Support Team). The PB Support Team functions under the auspices of the NFPA Standards Council, and reports directly to the Council on an on-going basis. The PB Support Team was created in 1995 to assist NFPA Technical Committees with the transition to performance-based documents. Primer 1 is the first in a series intended to provide NFPA Technical Committees with guidance and information on how to write a performance-based NFPA code, standard, or similar document. This primer is based on the report of the NFPA In-House Task Group on Performance-Based Codes and Computer Fire Models’ report entitled NFPA’s Future in Performance-Based Codes and Standards. This report, released in July 1995 and developed in conjunction with the NFPA Board of Directors, implies the need for the development of further guiding information for NFPA Technical Committees. Primer 1 is the first step to fill this need for further guiding information. It is anticipated that this primer will undergo future changes as they are developed. Any comments on the primer should be sent to: NFPA Attn: Council Secretary 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269-9101 NFPA PB Primer 1 ii Revision 1.1 NFPA Technical Committee PB Primer #1 PERFORMANCE-BASED GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA Revision 1.1 19 SEPTEMBER 1997 Table of Contents Preface.............................................................................................................................................ii Chapter 1 General Information......................................................................................................1 1-1 Primer Scope .....................................................................................................................

  • “Power Femininity” and Popular Women's Magazines in China
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 2831–2852 1932–8036/20160005 “Power Femininity” and Popular Women’s Magazines in China EVA CHEN National Chengchi University, Taiwan Western women’s glossy magazines (“glossies”) have made increasing inroads in the Chinese market and advocate a “power femininity,” which celebrates women’s assertive individualism and power as consumerist agency. While this power femininity has global neoliberal resonances, it also taps into the unique postsocialist Chinese context, where the liberation of individual desires, including the material and the sexual, is linked with a strongly felt need to undo a past socialist wrong that repressed people and deprived them of what should be an inalienable human right. This concept departs from the caregiving, self-sacrificial, and family-oriented “natural femininity” promoted in local women’s magazines in terms of aspiration, assertiveness, and a nativist-versus- international divide, yet ultimately both the Western and local women’s magazines are united by a shared stress on the need to cultivate a distinct Chineseness in the feminine ideal and to position women’s magazines as an integral part of the Chinese nationalist project of modernization and progress. Keywords: Chinese femininity, Chineseness, neoliberalism, women’s magazines Contemporary women’s magazines in China are no longer politicized Party tools of the socialist era and instead are market driven and highly popular among women from all walks of life. Since China’s 2001 accession to the World Trade

  • Kelly Wearstler
    THE COLLECTION KELLY WEARSTLER Global interior designer and tastemaker Kelly Wearstler is renowned for her signature brand of unexpected, bold and chic design. Her iconic and pioneering body of work encompasses interior projects, hotel design, product design, and partnerships with some of the industry’s leading names. Kelly has revolutionized the look, feel and meaning of modern American living. This season marks the debut of Kelly’s first furniture collection: more than sixty designs inspired by her masterful mix of diverse materials, artisanal craftsmanship and classic forms. Heirloom woods, mixed metal patinas, and hand–cut stones combine with a sophisticated palette, clean lines and sculptural forms to create a collection with Kelly’s distinctive vision. Each piece carries a singular voice, while a shared vocabulary enables the designs to fill a space harmoniously. They are modern classics: marrying form and function with unrivaled artistry and enduring quality. I LIKE TENSION — HAVING SOMETHING RAW AND REFINED IN THE SAME ROOM. TENSION CAN COME FROM TWO SEPARATE OBJECTS, OR, EVEN BETTER, BOTH QUALITIES CAN EXIST IN A SINGLE PIECE. FURNITURE PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR TREASURED AND PERSONAL OBJECTS TO BE SHOWCASED. ARRANGE WITH CARE TO ADD EMOTION TO A GIVEN SPACE, CREATING A CAPTIVATING VIGNETTE OR A BEAUTIFUL MISE–EN–SCÉNE. THE SHAPE OF SOMETHING, THE WAY ONE’S EYE AND SPIRIT REACTS TO IT, IS AS IMPORTANT TO THE SOUL OF A ROOM AS THE COLOR OF ITS WALLS. WHETHER IT’S THE SOFT CURVE OF A FEMALE NUDE, THE SHARP EDGES OF AN ART DECO CHAIR, OR THE GEOMETRIC PATTERN OF A MARBLE FLOOR, OUR VISUAL SENSES ARE CONSTANTLY ABSORBING THE EBB AND FLOW.
