Eight artists working at the intersection of art and design bring distinct spatial intelligences to bear on a shared question: how can one define beauty within a space? Long-Sharp Gallery's presentation at Design Miami suggests an answer —an environment shaped by skill, technique, and aesthetics.
Two pieces define the spatial logic: Chul Hyun Ahn's Library anchors the left wall: a mirrored bookcase with LED lights that opens an infinite corridor inside a 37-inch box. Jason Myers' Surface Tension panels hang from the truss overhead, quietly organizing the space below.
The exterior wall belongs to Cha Jong Rye, whose layered wood sculptures build up surface the way geology builds up stone. Chul's Brancusi's Column sits nearby — a mirrored light column that doubles as a coffee table, and one of the booth's more unexpected pleasures.
On the floor, Tarik Currimbhoy's Phoenix and Patrick Hurst's Water VII command space through reflection and height. Nicola Anthony's I Will Rise hangs at center, lit from above.
At the front, Myers' furniture and Ibbini's intricate paper works bring the booth to its most intimate register — objects experienced by both sight and feel.
