Artist I Love: Daniel Buren in Mexico

September 30, 2014 by Susan Bednar Long Leave a Comment

I’ve written before about Daniel Buren, the renowned French conceptualist that does site-specific installations. Over the years, I’ve been inspired by his bold use of stripes, colors, and geometric patterns, and the juxtaposition of his work against the iconic buildings in which he chooses to display them.

Buren has a striking new installation at the Cabañas Institute, which is housed in the Hospicio Cabañas, a monumental neoclassical building and UNESCO world heritage site in Guadalajara, Mexico. The work is featured in 18 patios and the chapel of the building, which once served as a huge hospital. As always, Buren uses stripes and dynamic color compositions throughout the installation in unexpected and intriguing ways. But perhaps even more interesting are his clever placement of large-scale mirrors, chosen specifically to trick the eye, visually fragmenting the architecture in places, while expanding it in others. I can’t get enough of this installation!

I would love to visit this show (maybe an excuse for a trip?), but even the pictures are making me think about new ways to use stripes and color in my own projects.

Here are some of my favorite images from the installation:

Welcome!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by design and the subtle impact of our surroundings. Some of my earliest influences still resonate – I think of the dark woods and textured lodens of my father’s shooting club, the smell of fresh paint on a new canvas, and the bold symmetry of the Philip Johnson Glass house just down the street. For me, it was a natural path to become an Interior Designer. I love what I do. I’ve created this Blog to share my thoughts, finds and design inspirations. I hope you enjoy it!

We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to h We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to have its own personality. This one is tucked in the back hallway and is a great combination of sage green and soft blues pulling from the @lamaisonpierrefrey floral.  My favorite design detail is the custom painted lines along the baseboard that continues around the interior doorways adding a layer of color to compliment the fabrics.  #FrançaisFriday
