The Trail to Trace is not a map from A to B, nor an ode to cartographers; you are not here to marvel at the modern wonders of packing and freight. A Trail to Trace is intent on walking you toward the edge of creativity, parts unknown. If you are never lost, what can be found?

Made in China” wants to know - how much weight can three words carry?

This show asks that you bring any baggage these three words may carry, but please allow room for something new. The tongue-in-cheek title is intended to conjure the emblematic country-of-origin label, with all its Western-world connotations in tow. Objective Gallery presents four Chinese-based and born artists- Hao Zhenhan, Matt Watterson, Ryan Mitchell and Xu Studio. Their work nods toward the country’s creative guardianship over ceramics, what is still referred to as “fine china” in many English-speaking countries.

Objective Gallery is pleased to announce ‘Surrealistic Symphony’ the duo exhibition of American artists Aaron Poritz and Vincent Pocsik, taking place along the Suhe Creek.

Objective Gallery is pleased to introduce ‘Soft Witness,’ a practical and poetic line of furniture and lighting from New York and Florence-based interior designer Whitney Krieger on October 5, 2023.

You don’t need an 11-inch-tri-fold manual to live in this world, Please Sit for the Alternate Ending can be read as care instructions before instructions for use; what is on offer is the option — maybe you sit? When no alternative is in sight, a choice is hardly a choice.

Jeff Martin and Sam Klemick are two designers familiar with an Alternate Ending. For each work existed previously in an unrecognizable form, its final destination found straying from the tried and true, or ultimately, a material down on its luck, preparing to cash in its chips.

Usually the person who asks “Who has the time?” already has their answer. OBJECTIVE GALLERY returns to Paris, a city only sometimes polite to time, presents work from eight individuals whose ideas, methods and skill refuse the clock, at THEMA, a fair intent on moving forward. 

Eye to eye with the present, ‘Who Has The Time? / Qui a Le Temps ?’ exhibits functional art that double as counterarguments, enquiries sent to current models: production, trend, attention, time: a world on ten-speed. 

It’s no honeymoon, the labor of love; both carrot and stick. Labor of love. Who has the time? 

DREW ABRAHAMSON, PIERRE CASTIGNOLA, BELTRAN DE MONTAUZON, HELENE DE SAINT LAGER, WILLIAM GUILLON, EMILIE LEMARDELEY, LUKE MALANEY and TOR ROTHSCHILD NERIA found the time, made the work — with pleasure, pressure, assistance; energetically, inefficiently, pedantically. 

Slow practices are an endangered species, quarry to rationality, convenience. Pronounced outdated brought to their end in the name of efficiency. All with the promise of more time, the slot machine you never get up from. 

“When you make bread,” Gaetano Pesce said, “The first thing you do is take a piece and taste. Art, expression, it’s the same thing. We need expression to help us better our lives”. An object is something that makes life more enjoyable. For the presenting artists, same goes for the process; the creative act that promises no reward, no redemption. . 

If being a surgeon is “playing God” being an artist or designer is playing what? Time, said Hélène De Saint Lager. “Layering, suspending, starting over until the right moment is fixed, and guiding light through the work. I try to choreograph stillness within movement.” It’s not playing God, in Luke Malaney’s world “it’s playing poker.” The invention or design you wish came up with: “The sundial,” Tor Rothschild Neria explained “It makes the invisible passage of time visible. Bridging nature, design, and human experience in the most elemental way.” In flux; rolling with it; life’s raw materials – each artists relationship to time resides in their work. 

One could argue time is the greatest artist of them all, richer, clearer, stronger, denser: delightfully complex intrinsically human. For Drew Abrahamson, Pierre Castignola, Beltran De Montauzon, Helene 

De Saint Lager, William Guillon, Emilie Lemardeley, Luke Malaney and Tor Rothschild Neria: time is honored, exiled, a collaborator, friend. Who has the time? Everyone. These are just eight different ways to hold it.
