Unlike Lake Garda or Como, the area is not known as a fashionable retreat for wealthy Milanese, but from the moment you drive through the unmarked metal-plate gates incongruously set on a two-lane highway, you are transported into a vast Impressionist canvas stippled with fruit trees and fields of roses, where sunshine diffuses into a blur of pastels.
Despite how sleek and chillingly soundproof the place is — you half-expect to hear muffled screams from somewhere in the depths — the owners, who, incongruously, have two young children, are clearly aware of their house's inherent drama: In a niche along one of the subterranean corridors, Skalso added a metal shelving unit stacked with cans of baked beans and bottled water, a wink to contemporary survivalist clichés.
A follow-up to his more casual restaurant, Casa Azul, the chef Victor Parra Gonzalez serves up a modern vision of Mexican food that's as unassuming as it is special: guacamole dusted with crushed crickets; a bed of creamy mole verde, topped with vegetables, sesame seeds and queso cotija cheese; tender duck that's paired incongruously but deliciously with poached pears, heirloom carrots and quinoa.
Yet they are exquisite; the bits of visual information punctuating the perimeter of "Wires 210" (256 x 217 inches, latex ink on silver vinyl mounted on Dibond; 2016) dance around a drooping scrawl of power lines as casually weighty as any offhand-but-not-really Cy Twombly painting, while an unexpected silver orb just inside the bottom edge — possibly, a finial atop a distant spire — is incongruously volumetric.
Even more famously, he worked one of the stiffest matches of all time with Big Van Vader, another scary big man who is incongruously mellow in real life; the match is infamous for the fact that Hansen popped Vader's right eye out of its socket (This is both a remarkable brawl between two 300 pound men legit beating each other and also very graphic despite the pixelated quality, so be warned.) They finished the match.
I've seen "Maypole: Take No Prisoners" in three iterations: first in its original installation at the 2007 Venice Biennale, incongruously shimmering in the light of a cupola; 10 years later at the Galerie Lelong in New York, where the heads hung so low that you could walk among them; and as part of this show in the basement level of PS1, devoid of natural light and hemmed in by double-height walls.
In time, the gentrifiers won, as they often do in New York, and the East Village has become a sanitized version of its former self: decay and grunge are fashion statement,s ethnic food shops advertise gluten-free-organic-locally-sourced ingredients, new glass-fronted apartment buildings incongruously shoulder their way between ancient tenement buildings, streams of NYU students and tourists flow this way and that, [and] Tompkins Park has traded live-in refrigerator boxes for strollers and kids' playground equipment.
As the duo won acclaim for their minimalist villas, hotels and museums, Casaus served as something like their in-house landscape architect: In 2015, for Fournier and Marty's own home in Corsica, he planted an Egyptian palm tree in a field overgrown with wildflowers and created a split-reed pergola studded with jasmine and wisteria; in 2017, at a Berber-style lodge that Studio KO helped build in Marrakesh, Casaus set a pair of Agave scabra incongruously into a lawn of wild, waist-high grass, their pointed leaves poking through like errant rabbits' ears; and last year, at the hillside Los Angeles estate of the creative director Richard Christiansen, he installed a classical tiered garden of agave, plumeria and a dozen different types of basil.
