Selected works by
Arik Levy ⁄ Peter Harvey ⁄ Zaha Hadid ⁄
ROVE Projects LLP’s first incarnation, conTEMPorary,
opened on Charles Lane, New York in 2001.
The space, designed by the Vito Acconci Studio and
inspired by Frederick Keisler’s ‘Art of this Century
Gallery,’ hosted shows from the likes of Mary Heilmann,
Dennis Oppenheim, Kenny Scharf, and Vito Acconci.
——————— Since relocating to London in 2004, Kenny
Schachter has continued to showcase work that extends
the traditional boundaries of the visual arts and bridges
the historical divisions between art, architecture and
design. ——————— In 2004 ROVE commissioned Zaha
Hadid’s first London building, on Hoxton Square (in
progress), and in 2005 a car design – the Z.Car – which
was subsequently exhibited at the Guggenheim NY,
MART in Rovereto, and London’s Design Museum.
Similar collaborations are forthcoming with Vito Acconci,
Ron Arad, Hani Rashid, Ross Lovegrove, Arik Levy
and Kenny Scharf, among others, all of whom
have designed vehicles in preparation for a large-scale
publication and exhibit at Phillips in London. ———————
ROVE Projects recently premiered ‘Belu,’ a limited
edition multi-functional object by Zaha Hadid Architects,
included in Sotheby’s recent ‘Beyond Limits’ exhibition
at Chatsworth House.
