R & Company, New York, is hosting “Uncrated,” an exhibition curated by leading interior design firm Pembrooke & Ives.Running through August 22, 2019, this collaboration with Pembrooke & Ives is part of the R & Company’s annual guest curator exhibition that invites an influential designer or architect to reimagine and transform the gallery space.As per the release, “Uncrated” follows the process of designing by showcasing the development of an interior space from start to finish. The exhibition features furniture, objects and lighting that have been presented both in a raw state (in shipping crates, pallet racks and boxes) and in a curated living setting.A storefront presentation of contemporary designs by Jeff Zimmerman, Serban Ionescu, Rogan Gregory and Katie Stout is on view from the exterior of the building. At the entrance of the gallery is a large crate foyer composed of an interactive metallic wall that allows visitors to physically leave their mark by carving a drawing, their signature, or text. “The compilation of marks created over the duration of the show, transforms the wall into a collaborative work of art that tells the story behind the exhibition,” says the gallery.A series of three large-scale shipping crates occupies the center of the gallery space. These crates have peep holes and cracks that reveal colorful ceramics pop by Kelly Lamb, chairs designed by Pierre Yovanovitch, and lighting by Jeff Zimmerman shines alongside many other coveted works. Displayed in a sequence, the crates each contain uniquely curated interiors that as you walk down the gallery floor become progressively more visible to unveil treasured designs.At the back of the exhibition, a fully realized dining room anchored with a monumental historical Wendell Castle table, a unique Rogan Gregory sculptural hanging light and a grand marble fireplace designed by The Haas Brothers is on view. “The curated space showcases how design elements can come together to create a comforting and engaging environment,” the gallery adds.Andrew Sheinman, founder of Pembrooke & Ives states, “‘Uncrated’ explores the process of the interior designer from discovering and sourcing unique and inspired pieces of furniture and design, the joy of unwrapping these objects for the first time, and the way in which these elements come together to form the spaces we inhabit.”“We are thrilled to be working with Pembrooke & Ives on this exhibition,” says R & Company principal Zesty Meyers. “The team has selected historical and contemporary works from our collection and presented them in a way that we could have never have imagined. This show is about discovery and the space has been transformed into an engaging environment that invites people to wonder through the gallery and explore the works on view.” “Uncrated” runs through August 22, 2019, at R & Company, at R & Company, 64 White Street, NY 10013, USA.For more information, visit: https://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/r-and-company/overviewClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
