'flexibility - design in a fast-changing society' is one of the many events taking place in turin this year in conjunction
with the city being named the 'design world capital 2008'. the show consists of nine projects by international
designers installed at a former prison, ex carceri 'le nuove'.

domestic sandbags by antenna design new york (masamichi udagawa & sigi moeslinger)
'the installation 'spectre' is inspired by a ubiquitous improvisational 'building block': the sandbag. the sandbag is
a pervasive object used in various situations of emergency and temporary set-up, such as battlefields, floods,
earthquakes and other disaster scenes. we are giving the sandbag a new 'skin' and context, which transforms
the way it is perceived allowing it to enter a different realm of existence.' ANTENNA
