Virgil Abloh presents sinking furniture at Carpenters Workshop Gallery show in Venice



Fashion designer Virgil Abloh addresses the issue of rising sea-levels in an installation of sinking furniture on show during this year's Venice Art Biennale.
Abloh is just one of 23 designers and artists featured in the Dysfunctional exhibition of more than 50 works, which is being held by the Carpenters Workshop Gallery (CWG) for the 58th edition of the Venice Art Biennale.

Other exhibitors include Dutch designer Maarten Baas, the Campana Brothers, and French designer Mathieu Lehanneur.
Each of the 50 collectible design pieces are set against the lavish backdrop of the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro's gothic architecture and its renaissance and baroque art collection. Matthieu Lehanneur's Ocean memories pieces are also on show, as part of the Acqua Alta installation
For his pieces, called Alaska, Abloh dissected a series of furniture items at different points to appear as if they are sinking into the floor.
They are on display as part of the Acqua Alta installation within the wider exhibition. The installation takes its name from the natural phenomenon of the tide peaks that regularly affect Venetian life, causing the city to partially flood.
Abloh aims to encourage viewers to think about the issue of rising sea-levels, both in terms of the fate of Venice and the effect of climate change on the planet.
