Before Donald Trump was President, he was Donald Trump. The Game:
All Things Trump is a journey through the world Donald Trump
created for himself starting in the 1980s. His brand, his name, his
casinos, his hotels, his products, his everything. Among the
1,000-plus objects (of which 500 are shown here) amassed from
auctions, eBay, and word of mouth are some of Trump’s greatest
hits including Trump Shuttle, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump
Steaks and the Ego sign from the Ego Lounge at the Taj Mahal. The
scope of the project is as vast as Donald Trump’s reach has been,
showing that long before he became president, Donald Trump wrapped
himself around America and called it his.
Chus Bures creates miracles. Each piece of jewellery that emerges
from his workshop boasts a complex genesis, stemming from an
intersection between his genius-level thought processes and his
maverick lifestyle. From exploring the versatility of buttons, to
accentuating the geometric planes of the human body (Infinity
Lines, 1990), and using minerals to emulate and exaggerate human
features (seen in the striking 'Mae Nam' Collection of 2000),
Bures' work is always perplexing, always stimulating, and always
innovative. He refuses to be cowed by convention, and delights in
challenging his clients and models. The bodily focus of his work
makes every piece a startling, and often uncomfortable, insight
into humanity. Bures may be a maestro of metal - the gauzy
chainmail-esque veils in his Crochet collection, 2000, attest to
that. Yet he has mastered the emotional dimensions of his jewellery
as well as its physical properties. The relationship between his
pieces and the people who collect and cherish them is essential to
his artistic praxis. In Chus Bures, Portraits & Jewellery
(2016), this is realised through a series of intense portraits by
Antoine d'Agata, Alberto Garcia-Alix, and Andres Serrano. These
pictures reveal a transgressive melding of jewel and subject: man
becomes metal and metal becomes man. Watch ideas take on physical
form, and immerse yourself in Bures' world of wearable art.
