ANNOUNCING 2012 BOFFO SHOW HOUSE
With honorary designer Andrew Yes
At The Madison Jackson with Michael BollaA cutting-edge experiment in living
New York, NY – Commencing May 15, 2012, arts and culture non-profit BOFFO is proud to present its inaugural BOFFO SHOW HOUSE, showcasing creative furniture, décor, and art creating complete environments that redefine possibilities of interior space. Working with some of the most creative, artists, architects, designers, product manufacturers, and galleries today, BOFFO with artist/designer Andrew Yes will creatively assemble four unique spaces under the themes of Nature, Future, Play, and Work with media sponsor Surface Magazine, bathrooms by Kohler with Aesop bath and shower products, wood floors by Relative Space, and wall coverings by Tres Trintas. Invites sponsored by Fashion GPS.
Upon entering the BOFFO Show House, visitors will be transformed from the exterior world by passing through an immersive interactive lighting installation entitled “Cloud” by premier lighting designers Focus Lighting.
In the Nature room, visitors enter an enchanted forest of hanging trees, a unique installation by Ovando Flowers, coupled with a mind bending photographic landscape images, furry Ricky Clifton furniture (Johnson Trading Gallery), meticulously hand crafted Christopher Kurtz tufted wood bench (Hedge Gallery) massive monolith by Spacecutter that opens into a dining table and chairs, with new lighting by Lindsay Adelman (The Future Perfect) hanging just above. Upstairs Patricia Urquia (GAN) mangal rugs create a colorful bedroom with Jamie Hayon (Mondo Collection), Gihora Aharoni and Azadeh Shladovsky, and an underwater coral fantasy lounge next door with sculptures by Andrew Yes and Eduardo Garza mixed with Stephano Giovani (Vondom) Stone furniture.
The Future experience, a stark world of contrasting white and black with pops of color starts by stepping into an outer space environment created by Mexican artist Pablo Alezando, accentuated with digital Jenny Holzer artwork, DB Kim Unity Ring chandeliers (Swarovski), a dramatic Antonio Sarrachino (Bosi Contemporary) Ray Sofa, and a galactic video by James Weingrod. With 17ft ceilings, the massive Cecil Balmond virtual world projections dominate the main room, Thomas Heatherwick’s (Haunch of Venison) glistening extrusion bench is tucked away with Aranda/Lasch (Johnson Trading gallery) Modern Primitive lounge chairs, Nesting sofas one black rubber by Max Lamb (Johnson Trading Gallery) and the other stark white by Ramon Esteve (Vondom) balanced with an iconic Piero Lissoni (Cassina) coffee table. Just to the side Bec Britton’s dramatic chandelier hangs over a Fossil Table by Andrew Yes accessorized with Dinosaur Design resin tableware. Upstairs Pryor Callaway presents an almost virtual bedroom of the future, which makes you wonder if sleep will even be necessary.
While at Work, visitors will stumble into a tetris-like geometric world of chrome and green, a breathtaking collaboration by USM Modular Furniture and Gihora Ahorani, outfitted with artist books by Printed Matter. A Charles Boerderson glowing nature mural provides the backdrop of Joe Robbin’s Pegleg dining table with votive lighting and a large Alexa Hoyer bubblegum hanging light shade. Upstairs Hastens takes over for a Swedish bedroom with their signature gingham on gingham.
The Play apartment opens up with colorful Pox balls by LMNOQ extruding from the walls and a rubber band stairwell installation by Margarita Maleva. Andrew Yes will create a swirling world of color with a silicone slime floor while Crouscalogero (Estiluz) balloon lights will fill the air and Rolu furniture inspired by Guy de Cointet. A mix match dining table and chairs will be provided by Cappellini. Ben Jones ladders (Johnson Trading Gallery) from his Deitch Projects exhibition rest against the side and Um Project nesting tables snake around the edge. Upstairs visitors will find a teenager’s punk bedroom with a Ben Venom heavy metal t-shirt bed spread, Kirk Van Wormer anime murals and a BOFFO Show House highlight: an eerie Victorian doll house by internationally renowned architecture firm Snoetta.
BOFFO Show House is located in the historic Charles B. Snyder Public School 12, now a premiere residential destination called The Madison Jackson with an address at 371 Madison Street in the Lower East Side of New York City developed by the Sung family with Michael Bolla of Douglas Elleman.A special thanks to curatorial assistance of Courtney Lukitsch of Gotham PR, Regina M.

Ce n'est pas la fin du Monde
Join us this Thursday in downtown L.A. for this awesome group show. Loads of amazing artists!
EVENT //
“Ce n’est pas la fin du Monde” is the second Drop City group exhibition, since the success of 2009’s trendsetting “Experiments in Occultism & Parapsychology”. We have since added on sixteen more unique visual artists, including seven females to the previous Drop City boys club. All of which share the collective vision of Drop City and reflect the COMUNE lifestyle of carefree idealism. “Ce n’est pas la fin du Monde” or "This is Not The End of The World" is a loosely themed group show celebrating life, friendship, optimisism, and individual creative freedom. We are also unveiling the new Drop City logo and will conclude the evening with a performance by special musical guest PLG\VNDR (Plague Vendor).
