- “Woven Chronicle” by Reena Saini Kallat was done in 2011 as a symbol of the web between human and cultural movement. It is a gigantic map which has sounds of deep-sea ambient noise, slow electric pulses, the hum of engaged phone tones, etc. The sounds drop the visitors in a atmosphere and imagination of having a touch in the refugee camp.
2. “Modernist dollhouse furniture” was designed by Marcel Brever in 1930s. It was a gift of a person named Alexander Scharer. Inside a transparent plastic square box, there are 9 modern- like furnitures. 3 collections in 3 colors: green, red, and brown. And also grouped in 3 rows. The furnitures are made of painted metal, wire, fabric, and wood.
3. “Standing Lamp” was designed by Frederick Kiesler in 1933. It was a fractional and promised gift of Celeste and armand Bartos in 1997. Without look at the context at first, I thought it is a magnifier lamp or something that is used in a operating room. The form and texture of the lamp is definitely space-like and modern because of the medium: aluminum and plastic.
4. “The Frankfurt Kitchen” by Grete Schutte- Lihotzky was finished in 1926-1927.
