Coolhunting Barcelona_Objeto De Deseo

 

Located in the Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona, OBJETO DE DESEO  has caught the eye of the international magazines and has even made  Tyler Brule take proper notice of this  Wonderland inspired house  of genuine oddities and artistic nonsense.  A  Contemporary Cabinet of Curiosities, the store boast an impressive list of global artists and taste-makers housed in one extraordinary pristine setting.

Objeto de Deseo  has become the first object gallery in Barcelona, to carefully curate an eclectic selection of limited edition pieces for the home or office . Effortlessly blending styles in a sort of high-end KITCH, the shop is perfect for those who have a sense of humor when it comes to home decor and are on an eternal quest  for the perfect conversation piece.

 Littered with white pedestals bathed in white light this is a place where Rock and Roll dented ming vases stand silently under white porcelain deers while futuristic garden gnomes vie for your attention and wallet. 

Open Mon-Fri, this avant-guard home accessory emporium  is a must stop for those who collect one of a kind pieces rather than cheap plastic snow globes and magnets when travelling abroad.

ATOPIA Art & City In The XXI Century

 

“Nothing of this will inspire pity in twenty-first century men”

 ATOPIA_From 25 February 2010 to 24 May 2010

The exhibition explores a kind of unease—the awkwardness that exists between the city and the individual.

With the modern-day citizen now connected 24/7 and massive exchange of information what happens when you ride the subway and all you hear is quiet. As commuters pop in their headphones, update their Facebook and twitter their every mood the urban jungle has become a vacuum, just the sound of thumbs texting and iPhones being tapped…

_OLEG DOU “Glasses 2” (Moscow  b.1983)

 

Atopia is the feeling of unease experienced by the individual faced with a city that does exist, but which in no case represents the paradise dreamt-of or promised, for the simple reason that the monster that is now the city has taken on a life of its own.

_Erwin Olaf “Grief” (Hilversum b. 1959)
