nowhere/now/here exhibition
at: LABoral, gijon, spain
from: now – until april 20, 2009

the exhibition nowhere/now/here is curated by roberto feo and rosario hurtado (el ultimo grito) and designed by patricia urquiola and martino berghinz with graphic design by fernando gutiérrez. the show aims to challenge the perception of design by questioning our relationship with the environment. taking the viewpoint that our environment has become part of us rather than us being part of it, as its point of departure, the exhibition encourages us to see design as an integral component of the world-shaping process.

‘three key themes: cultural resistance, psychological exploration and material intervention 
take us on a journey through visions, approaches and personal reflections on how we could
change the way we live’.
