"Where There's Smoke"

Moss New York
150 Greene Street
New York, NY 10012
Opening May 15-23, 2004
In its tradition of thought-provoking, often prescient exhibitions mounted to coincide with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, Moss offered an assemblage of 25 extraordinary one-of-a-kind pieces. These were created by Baas, who wields a torch as one might a chisel, systematically burning pieces from the most innovative 20th century aesthetic movements. He re-sculpts these design icons with flame, careful to preserve their structural integrity and thereby their original functionality. Their authorship and identity altered, they become revisionist, highly personal, audacious expressions of the artist.
Where There's Smoke was supported by The Consulate General of The Netherlands in New York and the Mondriaan Foundation.
