Roberto Feo and Rosario Hurtado are the post-disciplinary studio El Ultimo Grito. Known for their engaging reinvention of objects, and large scale installations, EUG’s more recent work has included direct questioning of cultural and social preconceptions. The new direction is embodied in the selected works for this exhibition, which include a group of large blown glass installation pieces exploring architectural archetypes created with master glassblowers in Italy.

They are also showing a collection of lightweight cardboard and resin furniture, incorporating ‘structural ingenuity’ with rich colouring and suggesting an alternative design and production method for a permanent dining table.
