GABRIEL FELD is an architect, artist, and teacher. He has been a professor at Rhode Island School of Design since 1990, serving as head of the architecture department (1997-2002) and chief critic of the European Honors Program in Rome (2014-16). He has also taught at China Academy of Art, Dessau Institute of Architecture, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Harvard Graduate School of Design, Boston Architectural Center and Universidad de Buenos Aires. His teaching includes architecture studios and lecture courses dealing with urban culture, as well as foundations and printmaking studios. His artwork--printmaking and installation--has been exhibited in Argentina, China, France, Italy, Kuwait, and the US. His architecture practice both in his native Argentina and in the United States has involved residential and institutional projects, large-scale affordable housing, industrialized construction, urban design and transportation. He received his Architecture Diploma from the Universidad de Buenos Aires (1980) and his Master in Architecture from Harvard University (1988).
Gabriel Feld EXPERIMENTS WITH MATERIALS. Everyday life materials, often discarded materials, gathered here and there--paper, cardboard, adhesive tape, string, nets, ribbons, rubber bands, petals of fallen flowers, leaves, and twigs. He constructs prints (monotype, multiplate color etching, lithograph, silkscreen, cyanotype,) collages, assemblages, structures, and installations. He thinks of these constructions as little poems without words; but more than conveying a message, they try to share a material experience, a tactile sensibility. Inspiration comes from the traces left behind in the course of everyday life, exploring the power and beauty of those marks, casual and unintended, ephemeral and evanescent. And the marks reappear in Feld’s artwork, transformed, elaborated, as a way to reflect on the human experience.
There are two notions central to Feld’s artwork: CONSTRUCTION and PLACE, as he thinks of it as an extension of his architecture practice, something like “architecture by other means”.
