[PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPOSITES & THE PLAY OF PERCEPTION]
The present show marks the inauguration of a new circle of exhibitions dedicated to the study of the key factors that come into play throughout the process of visual perception.
Distance, density, geometry and scale will be the elemental subjects of this research.
Such a primal approach on visuality may lead to a variety of interaction levels: from the mere affirmation of compositional common sense to unknown grounds of emotional arousal
Our eyes, rest upon the images, relaxing and observing; always on the hunt for clues or fragments.
A swift shadow, an empty territory or even a trace of nature, all of these are elemental visual hints that relate one as a human with the depicted environment. Whether natural or man made, imaginary or real, these representations trigger a mechanism of self positioning within a space, thus allowing for such an illusive experience to take place in the mind of the viewer.
Within his creative agony, the artist is on the lookout for a volatile shadow or light, subtle qualities that amount to that “grand” moment.
The images then become vessels that carry us on a singular journey to a fictitious emplacement, a sacred individual experience witnessed by all.
The concept
HOOKAHEY was founded back in May, 2009 as a forward thinking brand
based on long-lived trends. The founder trio consists of Armin Lang
and Jochen Schader, two German fashion business men and of Henrik
Holbech, a Danish manufacturing expert.
By getting on well-established Anika Schmitt as design responsible, we
aim to enhance the wardrobe of any woman or man looking for favourite
pieces, flattering fits, and original stylish designs.
In 1981, David Valls, unveiled its first men’s collection during Barcelona Fashion week (Gaudi). Seven years later, his first women’s collection followed tha same success. Along these years, David Valls has presented his collection in the main runway shows of Barcelona.
His rapid international expansion because of his uniqueness and quality of products have led his collections to showcase in the windows of the world’s most prestigious specialty stores such as: L’ Eclaireur (Paris), Selfridges (London), Beams (Japan)…
PHILOSOPHY
David Valls continues to lead design and creativity with his his daughter who has been working with him over the past five years. Ingrid Valls is true to the value of the brand to her father/mentor who has taught her and influenced her along the years.

A shop reveals ingredients of every single object !
These days it can be challenging to determine what the objects surrounding us are made of; manufacturers are not required to use labeling describing contents of your lamp or chair. The idea behind Matteriashop is precisely the opposite: all kinds of details, such as “ingredients”, source of material, designer info, manufacturing processes and disposal indications, are supplied as a way for customers to make informed choices.
Matteriashop collaborates with designers all over the globe, offering outrageously gorgeous objects for living made of eco-smart materials deriving from recycled, organic, renewable, non toxic sources as well as energy efficient lighting.Guerrilla shop 2 day invasion in CORRETGER5 for all to experience eco design on display, get inspired and do some last minute Christmas shopping!

“A través es algo que hacemos constantemente, desde que nacemos hasta que morimos. Pasamos de un estado a otro, a través del tiempo y del espacio, incluso de la materia y de la inmateria
Esta exposición expresa cómo los códigos de identificación registran e imprimen la historia, nuestra historia, en un viaje a través de inocentes mensajes esenciales.
Un viaje donde la luz atraviesa las palabras y las formas y nos descubre otra dimensión de la materia. La travesía, como siempre, es tuya, en cada mensaje que nos llega y dejamos que penetre y nos atraviese… “ (Nu Diaz)
[fab-art]
Esta exposición está integramente fabricada en el laboratorio de fabricación digital FAB LAB BCN con maquinas de corte por láser.
Todo el trabajo producido hasta la actualidad por la artista nu diaz, como sus cuadros de luz, fueron realizados con técnicas artesanales a través de la transferencia de trazos sobre tela o papel.
En esta, su ultima produccion, la gestacion de su obra se produce a través de procesos digitales, mediante la transferencia de trazos a codigos numéricos, que al igual que en las piezas de papel, son interpretados por una maquina de corte de laser, eliminando materia mecanicamente para permitir el paso de la luz.

For most women, spotting someone at a party wearing the same dress as you is the stuff of nightmares. But, to avoid this happening and to be original you don’t have to break the bank. Thankfully, there are always ideas from Dress Up, a team of budding designers, who’ve organised a showroom this coming Saturday. There you’ll be able to find unique and original pieces for your winter wardrobe without maxing your credit cards. Delicate ideas such as My Grandmother’s Sofa for women or more modern suggestions from Georgina Vendrell for men. Clothing which falls somewhere between bizarre and naïve from Sugar Rush, and serious innovations like Nerea Lurgain. You could also enjoy dressing up some cut-out models with your favourite outfits! Have fun!/ Miri Spuni Trans. by Aoife
La exposición Colectivos y egoístas muestra trabajos actuales de artistas de la Universidad Bauhaus de Weimar. Se podrá ver entre el 17 y el 22 de marzo en una nueva galería ubicada en el Borne llamada CORRETGER5 en donde se presentaran trabajos de estudiantes y profesores de la Universidad Bauhaus. La temática de Colectivos y egoístas trata sobre el colectivismo creativo y el individualismo artístico.
El enfoque de la reflexión se centra en los procesos de creación postmodernos entre el individualismo artístico y el enredo global. Además se enmarca dentro del 90º aniversario de la formación del Bauhaus histórico, y así investigar de nuevo los enredos colectivos de la vanguardia moderna para comprobar su validez actual. Más allá de la obra, el proceso de creación sirve como fuente de ideas para una nueva reflexión sobre el pensamiento colectivo artístico en el siglo XXI…
From now on she is part of us: Areti Nikolopoulou.
This young successful architect joined Corretger5 in October 2009 and we just want to say one more time:
El juliol de 2008 CORRETGER5 es funda a Barcelona. En un espai diàfan i fascinant, un antic estable d’una de les mansions més prominent al centre històric de la ciutat, un grup d’arquitectes van decidir desafiar els tradicionals vincles entre l’arquitectura, art i disseny que ofereix formes innovadores d’interacció.
CORRETGER5 aconsegueix d’aquesta manera, un continu estat de fermentació i un esperit llunyà a les tendències arquitectòniques, alternant el disseny amb un ampli programa d’exposicions, conferències i cursos de petit format.
