laughing prohibited! is an exhibition which is part of dutch design week.
the show embraces humour as a technical tool for creatives. it asks the visitor to take a
further look into the matter: what does the work put forth? debating the quality of artistic
freedom of expression. laughing prohibited! enhances an exchange of experiences
and knowledge about humour.  'when do we laugh, why do we laugh and why should we laugh?,
expressing techniques, strategies and issues of conception and representation, relating directly
to the classic issues of design processes - the for and context of production.

do not touch(counter balanaced shelves) by daniel eatock

'do not touch' consists of five pine planks, each 6 feet in length, five metal brackets, tools
and materials from the gagllery utility closet or found on the surrounding gallery grounds.
each shelf is balanced on a single bracket, all maintaining their level balance by the precise
placement of the objects they bear.
