Objective Gallery非常荣幸地呈现艺术家Jeff Martin和Sam Klemick的首次联展，名为“Please Sit for the Alternate Ending 请坐下来聆听另一个结局”。
这次在纽约举办的展览将展示两位艺术家独特的制作方式，同时为那些被认为无用或不再使用的材料提供了另一种结局。Martin和Klemick从“另一种结局”的概念中汲取灵感——这是一种被考虑、制作或书写过但最终被丢弃的解决方案——并展示功能性物品，打破常规的设计实践，邀请观众对于原本可能发生的事情的可能性进行思考。展览将于2023年8月18日在Objective Gallery纽约展厅展出。
这次展览思考了“经典”的东西，通过三维视角审视行业实践和创造力的实用性。Klemick使用过去的面料和废弃的漂流木，为这些被认为无用的材料注入新的生命。她从自己祖辈手工艺人的血脉中汲取灵感，创造了未来的传家宝。Martin探索生命的神秘与奇妙，在他的创作实践中平衡精确性和自发性。他怀着开放和好奇的心态来寻找材料的“不可能”性。在尊重并运用传统设计技术的同时，也给予了意外发展的空间。Martin和Klemick一起绕过了命运，不仅在字面上，因为事物本来就可能是完全不同的，也在隐喻上，通过偏离“经典方法”，打开了未知可能性的大门。
展览亮点包括：Jeff Martin的Sarcophagus Console Table和Sarcophagus 12（挂壁橱柜），以及由Sam Klemick手工制作的Nap Chair和Chubby Stool，使用漂白的废旧道格拉斯冷杉木和纯棉的中古原色帆布材料。
艺术家介绍 Jeff Martin
Jeff Martin（1984年出生，加拿大人）是一位当代雕塑家和设计师，涉足各种在不同文化中广泛应用且经久不衰的材料领域。他总是以一个业余爱好者的心态来处理工作，毫不畏惧地对材料能做什么提出天真的问题，而不是盲目地奔向一个定义明确、受传统工艺边界束缚的文化。Martin的作品在纽约集合设计展中展出，并被永久收藏于玻璃博物馆和马赛美术馆。
Jeff Martin (b. 1984, Canadian) is a contemporary sculptor and designer working across a vast array of culturally durable materials. Always approached from the mindset of an amateur, and unafraid to ask naïve questions about what a material can do, instead of running headlong into a well-defined and indoctrinated culture of craft boundaries. Martin’s work has been included in Collective Design Fair, the permanent collection at the Museum of Glass & the Musee des Beaux-Arts.

艺术家介绍 Sam Klemick
Studio Sam Klemick，曾用名Otherside Objects，是一家位于洛杉矶的设计工作室，以想象力为驱动，以循环方法为导向。该工作室利用回收的材料和废弃/复古纺织品进行设计。作为一名职业针织品和服装设计师，Klemick在观察到时尚行业中浪费和“快速”的做法后，构思了自己的工作室。这些观察启发了Studio Sam Klemick的理念和使命：重新想象和改造已经存在的事物。
Klemick的作品以轻盈、对称和几何感为特点。她母亲的家族代代相传裁缝和缝纫工艺，而她父亲的祖父则是一名木匠。
Studio Sam Klemick, formerly known under the moniker Otherside Objects, is an LA-based design studio driven by imagination and guided by circular methods. The studio utilizes salvaged materials and deadstock/vintage textiles. As a career knitwear and clothing designer, Klemick conceived her studio after observing the wasteful, ‘fast’ practices within the fashion industry. These insights inspired Studio Sam Klemick’s concept and mission: to reimagine and transform that which already exists.
Klemick’s work is characterized by a sense of lightness, symmetry, and geometry. She comes from generations of quilters and sewers on her maternal side, her paternal grandfather worked as a carpenter.”

“我们已经经历了电视的黄金时代，现在是时候迎来设计的黄金时代了。‘另一种结局’是关于创新探索的方法，指向变革的可能性，打破了‘好’和‘坏’设计的固定模式。Jeff和Sam是两位非常有才华的设计师，他们有着截然不同的实践方式。“Please Sit for the Alternate Ending”展览是关于第一个和最后一个的版本，以及中间的每一个瞬间。” —— Objective Gallery的联合创始人Chris Shao
“We’ve lived the golden age of TV; now it is time for the golden age of design. The alternate ending is about experimentation in approach, pointing to the possibility of change, breaking the very well-cast mold of what is deemed ‘good’ and ‘bad’ design. Jeff and Sam are two incredibly skilled designers with two very different practices. Please Sit for the Alternate Ending is about the first and last version and every single moment in between.” Chris Shao, cofounder of Objective Gallery.
