{"title":"ROBERT STADLER | OMG-GMO","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarwan Gallery presents a much-anticipated new commission by Paris-based designer Robert Stadler this September, inside Philip Johnson’s signature Glass House pavilion in New Canaan, Connecticut. More than two years in the making, Robert Stadler’s OMG-GMO project is a series of whimsical ceramic functional objects created in a tripartite collaboration between the designer, the gallery, and leading Italian manufacturer BITOSSI Ceramiche. The project will later travel to Europe, for an exhibition at Carwan’s flagship space in Greece, in March 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for his diverse work — which includes industrial design, installation, curation, and performance — Austrian-born designer Robert Stadler has been engaging with current issues in a critical and intellectual way throughout his decades- long career. For his special commission from Carwan Gallery, the designer offers a witty comment on the relationship between humans and their environment, as seen through the genetic manipulation of fruit and vegetables. Spotless yellow bananas, fleshy avocados, leeks, carrots, and many other staples of our shopping baskets are transformed into humorous functional objects, in what is perhaps the designer’s most playful work to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"size-matters","title":"Size Matters","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the OMG-GMO project, Robert Stadler borrows the forms of these engineered fruit and vegetables to create ten ceramic, hand-painted objects that ironically transform the organic into something structural and functional.
