The Studio of Philip Michael Wolfson operates in that area between architecture, across the fields of sculpture and installation, experimental design, interactivity, film and art. Trained internationally as an architect, his studio maintains a fascination with and examination of the construct of space and form, while questioning its modern understanding thru the examples given by the early 20th century Modernist Movements, particularly, Constructivism and Futurism.
Though the works vary in scale, the studio achieves a re-positioning of this understanding in the context of embodiment, perception and projection. The works constantly evolve between static and dynamic models, shifting from objects to installations and design, prospecting new visual territories in the field of narrative object and space.

Francesca Busca creates incredible arties during lockdown. A challenge by the Getty Museum.
‘Sharing the love for Art with a laugh: recreating artwork with things found at home, embracing the Getty Museum challenge. One Artie a day during Lockdown 2020.

What started as a friend’s challenge for a laugh soon became a daily appointment…and created an amusing bond among quarantined souls worldwide. It was fun and rewarding, especially seeing the tremendous feedback of participation – and challenges! – I was receiving. Such a positive exchange of energy!
