FRONT till MoMa

Svenska designkvartetten FRONT fortsätter sin framgångsrika världserövring. Nu deltar de med sina "Sketch Furniture" i utställningen Design and the Elastic Mind på Museum of Modern Art i New York at MoMA, New York. Se mera om hur Front framställer sina virtuella möbler i film på deras webb http://www.frontdesign.se/ Utställningen på MoMa är sammanställd av deras chief curator sedan 12 år, Paula Antonelli, som i Herald Tribune beskrivs som "the most influential design curator of our time". Hon menar att designer har en allt viktigare roll, och att det de som är bäst lämpade för att tolka innovationer och teknologi och översätta dem i produkter som vi kan använda. Designer har alltid haft den rollen, men desto mera komplex vår omgivning blir, desto viktigare blir uttolkningen. Utställningen visar även hur designer börjar gå in i vetenskapliga områden som nanoteknologi med konstnärliga tolkningar. (Samma ansats, fast ändå annorlunda, som finns i utställningen Design4Science på Nobelmuseet just nu) Även den känsliga vasen som jag förälskade mig i hos Droog på Milanomässan förra våren finns med i utställningen. Tomás Gabzdil Libertiny från Slovakien har använt bin som byggare runt en ståltrådskonstruktion för att skapa en vas av bivax. Utställningen kräver stor öppenhet av sin publik, eller elasticitet, som titeln antyder. Blir spännande att se hur den blir mottagen. Ni som reser till New York snart, utställningen öppnar på söndag 24 februari och står kvar till den 12 maj. Ni kan också se en slide show från utställningen på www.iht.com/design

  1. Now you should know how to buy a digital camera that you can enjoy for years
    to come. Of course, choosing a camera body
    doesn't lock you into only using lenses by that manufacturer, as there are several good third-party lens makers producing quality lenses for both Canon and Nikon cameras. Nikon the digital camera giant has recently added one more exquisite DSLR camera to its latest camera family.

  3. A fast and practical netbook that may be for the more. The HTC
    Evo 3D was always going to be a great phone but in order
    to be successful it needs suitable software to back it up.
