"Isolated" Designer Makes Art By Destroying His Own Artwork

"You & Me," the newest work from Adam Nathaniel Furman, perfectly pairs making and unmaking.

To realize his last project, designer Adam Nathaniel Furman locked himself in his studio for three months. He describes his latest work, a thematic follow-up to Identity Parade “at an even more exuberant formal level.” Entitled You & Me, Furman created two polychromatic 3D-printed sculptures, one of which he smashed to pieces. He then set the fragmented piece next to its intact, ice cream cone-resembling counterpart.

From Monday April 21st to Saturday June 21st, the two-part sculpture, fabricated by Lee3D, will be on show at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, London:

Furman’s “making-of” sets the tone of an artwork which falls somewhere within the lines of Auto-destructive Pop art: the final shot in the video, a side by side of the two sculptures, is backed by a Michelle Branch-esque tune with lyrics about forgetting who we are. Like Furman’s previous work, You & Me manages to address identity and decay while maintaining the artist's colorful 3D-printed aesthetic.
