Exhibition: "Eileen Gray. Total Art: E.1027 House at 1:1 scale", at FAUP
On the rocky hillside of the Côte d'Azur in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Anglo-Irish designer Eileen Gray (1878–1976) built a long, white vacation home she named E.1027 (1926–1929). At 52, this was her first foray into the world of architecture, realized with the support of her then-partner Jean Badovici, editor of the avant-garde magazine L’Architecture Vivante. For Gray, E.1027 was more than an opportunity to apply new spatial concepts; it served as a manifesto, revisited in her subsequent projects, for which she designed not only the architecture but also virtually every object and piece of furniture—creating a total work of art represented in this 1:1 scale exhibition.
