Gustavsbergs Konsthall TUMULT Exhibition Matlida Haggärde, Report from within, 2013, photo Magnus Natschki How – Do – Know 31.1.2014 – 27.4.2014 Charlotta Bellander, Johan Bjärntoft, Lo Eklöw, Matilda Haggärde, Li Liang In the spring of 2014 we are presenting five craft artists who have either recently completed the master’s programme at HDK, the School of Design and Crafts at Gothenburg University, or who are currently enrolled in the programme. The exhibition will focus on ceramic processes and the way in which experience of these processes is used in developing an artistic identity. The five craft artists present different approaches and results based on a profound exploration of the possibilities offered by the material – in this case clay.

World Architecture News, Official Home Page, architecture news, architecture jobs designfortheworld.org (Designophy - Resource, www.designophy.com) Design for the World is an international humanitarian organisation whose objective is to match the skills and commitment of volunteer designers with the needs expressed by disadvantaged populations and the organisations that serve them worldwide. Design for the World unites graphic designers, industrial designers and interior and architectural designers around one common idea: voluntary design for people in need. Design for the World has developed its website to present the organisation and its activities. The aim of the site is also to create a communication channel for designers wanting to contribute to social and humanitarian causes, and between those designers and the organisations that could use their help. Some parts of the website, such as the online gallery where people can show their projects related to design for people in need, and the project board, where people can collaborate on projects through an interactive webspace, will soon be published.

Il design dell'altro 90% | SocialDesignZine Viviamo immersi in un mondo di design. Tutto quello che ci circonda è stato pensato, progettato e realizzato secondo i principi del design. Poche volte capita di considerare che la comunità dei designer focalizza la quasi totalità della propria azione progettuale per il solo 10% più ricco della popolazione mondiale. Il restante 90% degli abitanti di questo pianeta non ha semplicemente le risorse per permettersi di acquistare alcun tipo di prodotto. Design for the other 90%, presenta le iniziative progettuali nate tra i designer per sviluppare soluzioni a basso costo per soddisfare alcuni di questi bisogni primari. Una mostra che ci fa riflettere su valore politico del design e delle possibilità che questo ha di rendere più vivibile l'esistenza alla stragrande maggioranza di uomini e donne di questo mondo.

Urban-Think Tank Ethica » Blog Archive » Art Biotech In basso una recensione al libro “Art Biotech”. Su alcuni dei problemi evidenziati dall’arte biotech, mi permetto di rinviare al mio “L’arbitrarietà del corpo umano”: Art BiotechRecensione di Cristina Trivellin e Martina Coletti[da: Testo originariamente pubblicato sulla rivista d’arte contemporanea D’Ars, n.190, Ottobre 2007] Art Biotech esce in Italia come primo testo che affronta le problematiche proposte da una nuova pratica artistica chiamata “bioarte” (o “arte biotecnologia” o “arte genetica”), e intende porsi come approfondimento teorico al catalogo della mostra “L’Art Biotech”, curata da Jens Hauser e svoltasi a Nantes nel 2003, che rappresenta una delle primissime mostre di “arte biotecnologica”. Una prima evidente distinzione con le precedenti forme d’arte si impone proprio a partire dall’oggetto preso in considerazione dalla bioarte.
