Illya GOLDMAN GUBIN

I G G is a Berlin-based studio founded by Illya Goldman Gubin. Blurring the lines between thought and feeling, science and mysticism, tradition and innovation, Gubin's installations emphasize the complexity of human consciousness. The artist transforms everyday perceptions into multifaceted reflections, inviting viewers to contemplate and feel.

In Karton, Gubin presents a selection of works that extend his resin experiments to design. Resin-coated cardboard structures are stiffened to become familiar childhood seats, merging utility with nostalgia. These reinforced objects, evolving from prototypes from 2020, achieve structural integrity through playful experimentation.

The resin and fiberglass techniques bring childhood imagination to life, transforming cardboard – generally associated with transience – into stoic domestic furniture. This transformation defies perceptions: what once contained now supports, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, past and present.

This artist is represented by CØR Studio, a unique creative space in the heart of Paris offering a minimalist setting for various events. Functioning as a Collectible Design gallery, it hosts temporary exhibitions showcasing innovative artists and objects with bold styles and exceptional craftsmanship.
