During Berlin's Gallery Weekend, CARLIER GEBAUER GALLERY presented Belgian artist Michel François' solo exhibition Pieces of Evidence.

The sculptures are based on a series of photographs featuring items of evidence from the basement of the Palace of Justice in Brussels; François presents the 'pieces of evidence' both in terms of their neutral identity as simply 'found objects', and the criminal associations applied to them - their 'intrinsic convictions’.

Pieces of Evidence continues until 01 June 2013. For more information, visit carliergebauer.com

JOYCE WANG founded her design practice in 2010, and has since embarked on a series of prestigious projects, including the design of AMMO restaurant & bar at Hong kong’s ASIA SOCIETY centre, and the guest rooms at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.

Having studied architecture and material sciences at MIT, followed by the Royal College of Art in London, her interior design practice is characterised by an innovative approach to materials and an interdisciplinary focus. Her work has a strong sense of the cinematic, producing a sense of drama and visual narrative which has prompted a series of collaborations with fashion designers, jewelry artisans and filmmakers.

In addition to her design practice, Wang is developing her own custom furniture and accessories collection. Current commissions include a hotel in Hong Kong, and residential projects in Los Angeles and Shanghai.

SOME/THINGS CHAPTER005 features previously unpublished images of HOT ROD HOUSE— the home designed by TOM KUNDIG [of OLSON KUNDIG ARCHITECTS] and his wife Jeannie for themselves. Originally a turn of the century two storey bungalow in the then working class neighbourhood of Queene Anne in Seattle, it was purchased with the intention of eventually 'hot rodding' it— using the original foundations and structural walls to make continued renovations, changes, and additions. Since it's completion in 2006, HOT ROD HOUSE serves as an on-going research project.
