Danese Milano Border No. 2
To mark off a territory is a conscious act. It is not just the recognition of a natural limit or border but it is a role we consciously give to a neutral area that we want to contain and protect. Once again Gilad addresses the interaction between the object and the surface and space that surround it. He imagines them as a lever, a scene or a support in expressing an idea that lies somewhere between the logical and the absurd. Four semicircles support a square, or a square raises four semicircles, these are the different interpretations of an object that, even when turned upside down, does not lose its function but instead offers an alternative.

Ron Gilad
Israel, 1972
Ron Gilad was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel, but currently lives and works in New York City. His hybrid objects combine material with aesthetic play. They sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional. His works deal with the relationship between the object and its function, questioning our perceptions.
Varying from one-off to limited editions and production pieces, the works have no “expiration date” and reside in both public and private collections worldwide. Gilad asks unceasing questions in 3D form and fabricates answers that create an arena for fertile doubt. Metaphorically, Gilad is a linguist, creating his own language. He learns the origins of “words” and develops new “synonyms”.
Since its founding in 1957, Danese Milano has epitomized the fusion of artistic flair and utilitarian design.
