自古以来,友情都是历代哲学家与艺术家的思考主题之一。柏林装饰艺术馆通过 2016 年7月9至11月1日的“友谊+ 设计”展览,探索设计师们的友谊之道。他们作为自由的企业家,一方面视对方为竞争对手,拒绝合作是业内的常规;另一方面,他们对于这门专业都有同样的热情。

策展人Tulga Beyerle 与 Maria Cristina Didero 邀请了一位国际知名的女设计师,联合六位同样知名的男设计们,通过新作来表达他们之间的友情。他们要在不同的情况通力合作,并把合作成果带到皮尔尼兹古堡水宫的三个空间展出。特此创作的展品建基于非常不同的工作,表现出七人之间的情感连系。

Michael Young(来自英国,居于香港及比利时)、Richard Hutten(来自荷兰,居于鹿特丹)与Jerszy Seymour(来自英国/加拿大,居于柏林)拥有截然不同的个性,因此他们的事业与工作同样是大相迳庭。把三人结合起来的,是他们对于委托任务 —— 还有友情 —— 的独特观点。他们以超现实游戏“Cadavre Exquis“(中文译名:精致的尸体)为基础,共同创作出反映三人个性的一项产品。

这是一个千载难逢的机会去认识这七位设计师,他们从来没有一起设计产品及完成如此特别的项目,而且可能再也不会有这样的机会。

德累斯特国家美术馆藏辖下的装饰艺术馆再次与国际设计界接轨。全赖装饰艺术馆之友的鼎力支持,诸位参展设计师的作品获收购作为装饰艺术馆的馆藏。郑重鸣谢比利时Van Den Weghe团队的每一位成员,感谢您们把这张餐桌带到现实世界!

Youhutseymatic TableExhibition of the Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts)

12 July – 1 November 2016

Friends + DesignThe theme of friendship has preoccupied philosophers and artists since time immemorial. The Kunstgewerbemuseum asks in its exhibition “Friends + Design” from 9 July until 1 November 2016 how designers handle their friendships: as free entrepreneurs they are on the one hand rivals and as a rule do not work together; on the other hand, they share the passion for the metier.

Curators Tulga Beyerle and Maria Cristina Didero have invited one internationally renowned female designer and six equally famous male designers to interpret their relationships by means of new works. In doing so they work together in different constellations and stage the results in three rooms in the Wasserpalais in Schloss Pillnitz. On the basis of very different work tasks, the newly created works bear witness to the bonds of affection between these seven people.

Michael Young (GB, lives in Hong Kong and Belgium), Richard Hutten (NL, lives in Rotterdam) and Jerszy Seymour (GB/CA, lives in Berlin) differ very much in character, so their careers and works being correspondingly various. What unites them is the unconventional way they see their work commissions, likewise their friendship. Based on the Surrealist game “Cadavre Exquis”, they developed a collectively created product reflecting their personalities.

Mathias Hahn (DE, lives in London) and Tomás Alonso (ES, lives in London) have never worked together before either, although they share the OKAYstudio in London. Their task was to give each other a present. Their answer is as surprising as touching – in times of challenging economic austerity in production the friends decided to devote time to each other by setting off on a journey from London to Dresden. Through the eyes of two young designers we are able to perceive the common passion for production and processes.

Bethan Laura Wood (GB, lives in London) and Philippe Malouin (CA, lives in London) are at home with experimental design and yet their work and work methods are as different as night and day. They have reacted to their respect for each other’s work and the task of empathising with the other’s perspective with a very personal project. They use the typology of an everyday product, its privacy the prerequisite for an intensive confrontation with the other’s work.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to get to know the work of seven designers who have never previously – and probably will not again so soon – designed products together and realised a special project. Once again the Kunstgewerbemuseum of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden is joining the international design discourse. Works of the designers involved in the project have been acquired for the collection of the Kunstgewerbemuseum thanks to the support of the Freundeskreis Kunstgewerbemuseum e.V. A huge thank you goes to everyone at Van Den Weghe in Belgium who made this table a reality!
