Contagion might not seem like an obvious style inspiration. But it was foremost in Pieke Bergmans mind she created the ‘Mirror Virus’. Part of her ‘Utopia infected’ series, it is a world map of mirrors, where each land mass is infected with a ‘design virus’. Among Wallpaper* magazines Best Breaktrhough artists of 2007, Bergmans has also caught the attention of Milan’s Dilmos gallery.”

Pieke Bergman’s show is now at the Al Sabah Art & Design Gallery. Located at Corniche . Her take on the project this time- has been al about fusing her blown glass viruses onto syrian furniture- made with inlayed mother of pearl.
