'lapse in time' exhibition at experimentadesign lisboa 09

'JU87-G stuka' by katharina wahl
'lapse in time: design between elasticity and socio-cultural responsibility', is one of the
main exhibitions at experimentadesign lisboa. curated by hans maier-aichen,
the exhibition introduces alternative concepts of design that reveal the 'elastic mind'
of young creatives, their border-crossing practices and cross-disciplinary collaborations
with anthropology, cognitive sciences, environmental challenges and fine arts.
'eighteen international designers are represented, each communicating their own
personal approach to design, renouncing the bauhaus tradition as a mere 'form and function'
user manual. caught between the economical crisis and the undifferentiated blandness
of everyday mass products, designers experiment within an emphatic revival of the
arts and crafts spirit combined with new technologies, which they use for their private collections.
the featured designers in the exhibition, distance themselves from the dogmatic standards
and postmodern styling of recent decades, pursuing 'open source' experimentation within
their own perceptions of transformation, aesthetics and function in contemporary life.
the preconceived industrial norm - and its adamant denial - is the starting point for
a change of paradigm.' H M-A
