El Ultimo Grito - Dialogues at the Aram Gallery in London

The glass objects feature tubes, funnels and steps to each represent a different building typology, including a hotel, carpark and theatre.

The exhibition will also include a collection of furniture made of cardboard and resin, and a graphic project that combines photographs of the designers with famous quotes.

Known for their engaging reinvention of objects, and large scale installations, El Ultimo Grito’s more recent work has included direct questioning of cultural and social preconceptions. This new direction is embodied in the selected works for this exhibition which include: a group of large blown glass installation pieces exploring architectural archetypes created with master glassblowers in Italy; a collection of lightweight cardboard and resin furniture, incorporating structural ingenuity with rich colouring and suggesting an alternative design and production method for a permanent dining table; and ‘Found objects: Dialogues’ a series of photographic re-appropriations of famous quotes.

Roberto Feo and Rosario Hurtado are the Post Disciplinary studio El Ultimo Grito. Their work “reflects upon their interest in how contemporary culture incorporates, re-uses and re-interprets the systems and structures that it has inherited. Within this context the challenge is to create new objects, which can be typologically disentangled from our conventional (learned) understanding of the world, and thus offer alternative ways to live, work and communicate.”

El Ultimo Grito’s work has been widely exhibited and is collected by leading International museums and galleries.
