#Ocio by #IvanNavarro 💡👓 • During Ivan Navarro’s childhood in Santiago, Chile, power outages were used as political threats. Because of this history, light plays a complicated role in his pieces: it is power, truth, and hope; it is also danger — it electrocutes. Now, Iván Navarro is known internationally for his socio-politically charged sculptures of neon, fluorescent and incandescent light.  In 2009, he represented Chile in at the 53rd Venice Biennale. Beyond minimalism, the crossings between the politics and showbiz are inevitable. The glow of the neon lights, the perceptual tricks, ambiguity and the luring character of his objects –they draw sights and invite us to try them out beyond stark experimentation– take us to situations we easily find in our societies. From the ludicrous, quasi-childish experience we soon move on to the idea of exile, and perhaps to disorientation, vertigo and alienation.

Bvlgari Abandon the Rules in Brera

The concept behind Bvlgari’s first showing at Design Week – ‘The only way to grasp beauty is to embrace it, turn it upside down, and transform it into something even more extraordinary.’ This was evident in their labyrinth of an installation entitled, ‘Reinventing Design Rules’. An immersive and interactive visual adventure into design, the exhibition aimed to translate the brands key creative strengths into three-dimensional spaces. 

1. Materials

Undertaken by architects MVRDV, who share Bvlgari’s ambitious spirit for design, was this kaleidoscopic vault, of uniquely crafted scales and mirrors. Its purpose was to translate jewellery into an architectural experience, through the capturing of precious and unconventional materials used in the brands iconic Serpenti bracelet. 

2. Modularity

Storagemilano use metallic tubing and luminous lines to represent multi-faceted gemstones, which the visitor can move around within. The effect is one of being submerged in never ending space, due to the numerous routes and reflections.

3. Colour

The unique colour of gemstones is translated by Ivan Navarro and Courtney Smith, using neon illuminations. The placement of mirrors creates a hypnotic, tunnel like depth of field, within what is actually a small corner of the overall installation. 

The pathway between the spaces, sees all surfaces covered with the black and white pattern featured in Bvlgari’s B.zero1 collection. This gives the illusion that the physical space has been weaved, and provides direction for the visitor. However, the illuminated ‘rules’ along these walls suggest that there is more than one way to experience and maneuver around the installation.
