‘RECOLLECTIONS’ EXHIBITION
Exhibition September 2012, as part of the London Design Festival
The exhibition Recollections touched on the sustainability of the past and its potential inherent treasure. The past is stored in our memories, and as such it is treasured within our deep emotional senses – this is conveyed in the manifestation of objects we create. The exhibition will portray aspects of recollection and the past, reflected in objects through the different work of five designers. The past and our reminiscences can be represented in various ways:
Forgotten or overlooked material; a reinterpretation of something once useful, that has since been neglected; something dead brought back to life; something archived or stored, kept secret or secure; something rotten, damaged; something lost or out of fashion; a celebration and valuation of old traditions, techniques, habits and customs...
Participating Designers: Gisela Stiegler, Thierry Jeannot, Dejana Kabiljo, Ariel Rojo, Martacarmela Sotelo
