Assi / Joseph MEIDAN
1987/Ongoing
Working between object, space, and material research. His practice focuses on transformation — observing how materials shaped by construction, use, and time can be redirected through minimal intervention.
His work often begins with situations encountered in everyday environments: construction sites, industrial components, or standardized building systems. Through processes of collection, assembly, and displacement, these elements are recontextualized without erasing their origin.
Moving between unique pieces and evolving systems, his projects explore the moment where functional structures shift into objects of domestic or spatial presence. Light, support, and construction recur as central themes, approached as ongoing investigations rather than fixed forms.
Alongside independent works, he develops Brut Hardware, a modular aluminum framework conceived as an open structure capable of adapting across furniture, exhibition, and architectural contexts.

Get God on the phone
Godot, dans la pièce de Beckett, ne pointe pas le bout de son nez. Il laisse dans son nom mystère les langues de ses obligés débiter leurs passions sans les vivre. Ceux-là patientent, croix de bois, croix de fer, suspendus à l’enfer, dans un lieu sans qualité où même meurt l’attente. « Get God on the phone » raconte le quotidien de toutes celles et tous ceux que Godot a prévenu par texto. Il rentrera tard ce soir et commandera un diner froid.
_________________________________
Godot, in Samuel Beckett’s play, never shows up. He lets his very own mystery slip on the tongue of his believers and let them suffer all their passion. Those are waiting, crossing their heart, hoping to die, in a place without qualities where even expectations end up vanishing. « Get God on the phone » tells the story of those who weren’t left behind and got Godot’s text. He won’t come home tonight and will most probably order some dinner over the phone.
