Donnelly started out as a street artist, altering advertising images in bus stops and phone booths, and later began creating limited-edition toys, clothing and other objects, as well as paintings and sculptures that aspire to be universally understood, overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers. This exhibition featured more than forty pieces of sculpture and painting, in addition to a representative sampling of KAWS\u2019s commercial collaborations with different brands.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Empty handled the technical development of the proposal, preparing shop drawings, monitoring local production of display elements\u2014metalwork, carpentry and graphic elements\u2014and subsequently installing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The KAWS works occupied two rooms in the fire station, the <i>Garage<\/i> and the <i>Archive.<\/i> The display furniture in the <i>Garage<\/i> consisted of large blocks made of plywood and plasterboard with an internal reinforcement structure\u2014based on a preliminary study of the pieces\u2014that delimited the space and played with the gravity of the pieces. For the <i>Archive,<\/i> we created large \u201cbeam-showcases\u201d made of Corian and acrylic glass for displaying smaller merchandising pieces.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-294\" src=\"https:\/\/desarrollo.ender.es\/empty2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px-300x73.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"879\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px-300x73.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.empty.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px-1024x249.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.empty.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px-768x187.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.empty.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px-1536x374.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.empty.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KAWS-Empty-Plan-01-2000px.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The most complicated graphic task was applying vinyl panels to the building facades, which were scanned to study all potential interferences between the architecture and the design and adapt the final arts to the real geometry of the space. The exterior graphics on the old fire station garage doors were the main advertisement for the exhibition. In the installation process, finding a vinyl material that could withstand the high temperatures in Doha was also a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4756,"template":"","tags":[30],"area_de_trabajo":[21],"class_list":["post-4754","proyectos","type-proyectos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-exposiciones-en","area_de_trabajo-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos\/4754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyectos"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos\/4754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4754"},{"taxonomy":"area_de_trabajo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.empty.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_de_trabajo?post=4754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
