Antibodies: The Works of Fernando and Humberto Campana 1989 - 2009
Palm Springs Art Museum
101 Museum Drive
Palm Springs, CA, 92262 USA
The Campana brothers, Humberto and Fernando, have worked together as furniture designers in Sao Paolo, Brazil, since 1989. Humberto is an artist with a law degree and Fernando is a trained architect. In the 20 years since they began their practice they have built an international following with exhibitions worldwide, with their work collected by major museums, including MoMA and the London Design Museum. Paper, wire, plastic, fabric, felt, carpet, rubber, and wood are some of the materials they use in their series. Whimsical, contemporary, yet structurally complex, their work is influenced by Brazil's exuberant natural forms, the street life of the slums as well as contemporary art, film, and music. The exhibition includes over seventy pieces of furniture plus prototypes, experiments, models and artwork by the Campanas alongside films, interviews, photographs, and objects collected by the designers.
