Julia Chiang x The Standard

alldayeverydaynyc:

A new addition at the office….

All For You, is a new limited edition piece, exclusively available at The Standard, by artist Julia Chiang. A unique edition of 50 palm-sized apples, each handmade of delicate porcelain and glazed a rich glossy red, the apples could potentially be in a state of oozing, excreting, sweating, tearing, or spurting. The apple as a symbol for desire as well as an icon for her home, NYC. Each piece comes tucked into a special wooden box that’s been burned with the details of the edition. The box is signed and numbered, beautiful as a set.

“One funeral, one man being choked and one gym rat being impaled in the neck by a Doritos hurled by a snack-chip-obsessed martial artist. Three “winners” proving once again that what consumers generate in their ads is mainly vulgar and trite.”

“A lot of the loudest new players in media, in other words, have no use at all for billionaire benefactors. Now, given that billionaire benefactors seem increasingly inclined to grumpily gather up all their marbles and go home, that’s a good thing — unless, of course, you’re one of the scary number of journalistically inclined media people whose entire career, or what’s left of it, still hinges on how some old rich dude feels about himself this morning.”

“It’s a finding that strikes at the foundation of many a social-media marketing philosophy: Tapping into peer-to-peer networks is a way for marketers to tell authentic, credible stories to consumers whose confidence in corporate CEOs, news outlets, government officials and industry analysts has taken a beating. But according to Edelman’s latest Trust Barometer, the number of people who view their friends and peers as credible sources of information about a company dropped by almost half, from 45% to 25%, since 2008.”

If you think of the architects that we love the most, the ones that have really affected us, they didn’t simply build what they were asked to build – they built something that was surprisingly better than what they were asked for. They changed the desire. The good architect is the one who makes you realize that your desires could be more adventurous, and then who satisfies those new desires in ways that are very, very positive. That – that – is a really important social mission. If you say that the traditional architect monumentalizes existing desires, that doesn’t sound like such a hot mission anymore.
