About this deal

The Music Lessonceramic sculpture, created by the Chelsea porcelain factory (c. 1765). Located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, United States; Chelsea porcelain factory , CC0, via Wikimedia Commons Many might recognize the famous name of the renowned sculptor Alberto Giacometti. Though Alberto Giacometti was a famous fine artist, he also dabbled in Functional art, especially when teaming up with his brother, Diego Giacometti. Diego Giacometti deeply supported his brother’s career as an artist and was often seen as his studio assistant to his brother. Yinka Shonibare is a British-Nigerian artist whose work could be considered contemporary and postcolonial. Some of his work can however also be considered Functional art. The most obvious example of this would be his beautiful aluminum and stainless-steel chair covered in Dutch wax fabrics. A lesser obvious example of Functional art within his work is his installation work titled The British Library. Some would argue that Bridges' appointment epitomises the "new CABE": a body that is less about outspoken characters championing the cause of architecture and more about yes men getting down to the nitty-gritty of delivering on the ground. They are also known for their extensive and unique use of materials, ranging from porcelain and brass to resins, beads, and fur. Their Functional art pieces display both their skill as craftsmen and their curiosity as creatives.

Today the influence of the Bauhaus’s focus on the unification of function and design can still be seen in architecture, design, and fine art. Many universities and art institutes around the world today have joint departments with architecture and design. This, however, is not only true in the case of educational institutions, but also for museums and galleries. The Giacometti version of the lamp was first designed in 1936 by Alberto Giacometti for Jean Michel Frank. Alberto Giacometti designed the original version in plaster, and he is quoted to have loved the plaster mediumfor its fragility and tactility. Diego Giacometti later, in 1983, cast the same lamp in resin. To provide a Functional art definition, it is useful to first ask “what is functionality?” Functionality is the quality of a product or object that describes its suitability to serve its intended purpose. Functionality thus describes how practical functional objects are.

Think for instance of the music being used for educational purposes. Music is often used at elementary and pre-school levels as a useful tool to stimulate learning. Apart from an educational function, music also serves other social functions and cultural functions. The music in such cases is not only beautiful but also serves a purpose, for example providing a sense of united nationality through a national anthem. Music can also be motivating and encouraging, for example when crowds cheer on athletes with anthems and songs. But is music a Functional art? This question does not have a straightforward answer. Whilst some music is purely created for abstract listening, and thus might not be seen as a form of Functional art, other forms might serve an educational, social, or cultural function and can thus be considered Functional art.

For British architects inured to playing second fiddle to contractors on healthcare schemes, the work is a breath of fresh air – and to local architects, such alliances offer a way into healthcare design. Both are seasoned players in their own fields but one is on his way out, the other on her way in. Departing is architect Sunand Prasad after seven years of service as commissioner and founding member of CABE. Arriving is Joyce Bridges, one of a new breed of board member for the architecture watchdog. Her work was showcased at the 2019 and 2022 Contemporary Istanbul with Berman Contemporary and her latest solo exhibition, titled Sociogenesis: Resilience under Fire, curated by Els van Mourik, was exhibited in 2020 at Berman Contemporary in Johannesburg. Attewell also exhibited at the main section of the 2022 Investec Cape Town Art Fair. When answering the question “what is Functional art?”, it is useful to consider some Functional art examples. From ancient Chinese vases to functional sculpture, to lighting and furniture, the Functional art genre is very inclusive.

Mr Grimshaw, who took over in January, said he was committed to the role and was working on a five-year plan to help the agency improve its role.The British Library” is thus a conceptual and beautiful art installation, whilst simultaneously being a resource for learning, exchange, and research. Joyce Bridges the chair of English Heritage’s London advisory committee and former director-level post at the ODPM’s urban policy unit MJ Longa partner at architectural practice Long & Kentish and a member of CABE’s design review panel since 2002 In a damning description of the way the agency was previously managed, he said he would no longer allow a situation where “lions are led by donkeys” and promised farmers they would see changes in six months. The strong connection between the two brothers can also be seen in the many archives of photographs and letters that characterize their love and respect for each other. Diego Giacometti was, however, more than a mere assistant and was a talented sculptor himself. To separate himself from his already famous sculptor brother, Diego Giacometti decided to specialize more in furniture design. Alberto Giacometti, however, also teamed up with his brother at times and the brotherly duo created many pieces of sensitively designed Functional art together. With the arrival of 0% art financings providers such as Art Money, or Own Art, the cost of buying art can be spread over months," says the founder of Artfully Sorted Charissa Risley.
