Lely waste management

This winter register for the class @ming.xuan.wei and I are running @harvardgsd titled Recipes. We share a deep interest in material intelligence and are hoping to explore that with people in the class. Thank you @jolime for the image of her work, Granite Sorbet, which I think captures the idea of the course well.

This table inspired from a technique developed in Bahrain last year, with Junha Hwang, embraces squishing as a valid way to create form. Looking forward to making a complete set Photos @alymsoares Fabrication @michal_cihlar @etiquettepudding

The last day of In Praise of Folly 🍂 Tons of great works to check out Curated by Hannah Martin @_h_mart_ Scenography by Cat Snodgrass @cat.snodgrass @wallpaperprojects @collectiblefair

From Dust To Dust Continuation of the City Smoke Series Thanks to those who gave me access to space and resources to try something @shower199sqm @whistle_seoul @etiquettepudding @gonghangdoduk @artsatmit

⠀ 유키 그레이는 조각, 공예, 건축의 경계를 넘나들며 철강, 금속, 목재, 시멘트 등 일상적인 건축 재료를 새로운 용도로 전환해 작품에 활용한다. 그는 공예적 정밀성과 조형적 실험성을 결합함으로써, 관람자가 익숙한 사물과 재료 속에 잠재된 가능성을 새롭게 인식하도록 유도한다. 연작 <City Smokes Series>(2025)는 실리콘 몰드에 시멘트를 주조한 후, 작가가 촬영한 도시의 그래피티 이미지를 표면에 전사하는 방식으로 완성된다. 재떨이 형태로 제작된 이 작업은 단순한 기능을 넘어 변화하는 도시 풍경의 질감과 스쳐 지나가는 인상을 오브제로 포착하려는 시도다. 작업 과정에서 발생한 잔해들을 함께 녹여 제작한 스툴 형태의 <To Dust>(2025)와, 자연을 시각적 패턴으로 재해석한 테이블 형태의 <From Dust>(2025)는 인공과 자연, 생성과 소멸의 경계를 탐색한다. 두 작업은 보이는 것과 살아내는 것, 기억되는 것 사이를 유영하며 감각의 지형을 구현하고, 재료에 축적된 시간성을 드러낸다. 이러한 오브제와 연결되는 조형적 탐구는, 작품에 응축된 잠재된 시간을 다시 활성화하려는 의도로 읽힌다. Yuki Gray works across sculpture, craft, and architecture, repurposing everyday construction materials such as steel, metal, wood, and cement into new forms. By combining craft-like precision with sculptural experimentation, he invites viewers to rediscover the potential of ordinary objects. City Smokes Series (2025) involves casting cement into silicone molds, onto which photographs of urban graffiti taken by the artist from different cities are transferred. Shaped like ashtrays, these works go beyond their functional form to capture the fleeting textures and impressions of the changing cityscape. To Dust (2025), a stool created by melting together of residual debris from the fabrication process, and From Dust (2025), a table that reinterprets images of nature into flattened visual patterns, both explore the boundaries between the artificial and natural, formation and erosion. These pieces float between what is seen, experienced, and remembered, mapping a sensorial terrain revealing the temporality embedded in materials. His sculptural inquiry into objects can be understood as an attempt to reactivate the latent time condensed within the work. <Rooms of Convergence> dpgp78, Yelim Ki, Kyoungtae Kim, Taeyoon Kim, Magnus Peterson Horner, Jeman Seo, Yuki Gray, Yonsok Yi, Jookyung Lee, Leesop Cho 19 July – 16 August, 2025 __________ #YukiGray Photo by Ian Yang © Artist and Whistle

Core iii project which theorizes using stone and waste aggregates to inform structure and enclosure using the principles of the angle of repose. This idea being inspired by the history of infill and train foundations on site in East Boston to resist rising water, uses a conveyor belt typically used for industrial means, to build and replenish its shape. Excited to have found this method of form finding and building. In collaboration with Harrison White With advice from @yolande_daniels And help from @walkernotsoworthy and others @mitarchitecture
