KAZERNE / VAN ABBEMUSEUM

NEW MELANCHOLY

‘CRYSTAL VIRUS’

Curated by Lidewij Edelkoort

After the reflection during the lockdown, we are left with a vast emptiness. Complementary emotions that arise therefrom lead to feelings of melancholy that will influence our culture. The double exhibition between Kazerne and Van Abbemuseum shows desolate work from the collection Edelkoort and the museums collection.

Date: 06.10.2020 – 06.12.2020

Kazerne, Paradijslaan 2-8, 5611 KN, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

LILLE METROPOLE 2020

WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL

A labour of love

‘PHENOMENEON’

Blowing Magic

curated by Lidewij Edelkoort & Philip Fimmano

The European Metropolis of Lille succeeded Turin, Seoul, Helsinki, Cape Town, Taipei and Mexico City as World Design Capital in 2020. Since 2008, the title of World Design Capital© is awarded every two years by the World Design Organization (WDO), it recognizes cities for their effective use of design to drive economic, social, cultural, and environmental development.

This exhibition, curated by world-renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edel- koort and Philip Fimmano, explores the way a new generation of designers is experimenting with materials and manufacturing processes.

Fully resonating with the public health crisis we are living through, it starts from the premise that if we do not take active steps to slow down consumption and reinvent our production practices, our planet will not stand a chance. The world is finally becoming future-thinking and reshaping the cultural landscape and changing its values along with it as borne out by design.

We are developing new solutions for sharing between designer and artisan, designer and the underprivileged, designer and amateur, designer and designer. A new dawn brings hope for an alternative way to manufacture success, recognition and profit. Here the capital is human.

A labour of love.

VENICE BIENNALE

UNBREAKABLE: WOMEN IN GLASS

Fondazione Berengo Art Space

‘METAMORPHOSIS’

Curated by Nadja Romain & Koen Vanmechelen

“Unbreakable: Women in Glass” is a celebration of the many female artists Berengo Studio has had the honor to collaborate with during its 30 year history. Although the art of glass has historically been dominated by men, over time more and more women have measured themselves against the infinite creative possibilities of this material. It is precisely women artists, such as Laure Prouvost, Renate Bertlmann and Monica Bonvicini, who have most often encouraged the Masters of the Studio to experiment with innovative techniques and try to redefine the limits of glass. At a time when women artists, despite the progress achieved in recent years, continue to fight for their full recognition, with this exhibition. Berengo Studio intends to honor their “unbreakable” spirit.

GRONINGER MUSEUM

PERMANENT ON SHOW.

‘FROM THE SKY’

It’s hard to imagine a more varied collection than the Groninger Museum’s. Items on view range from Stone Age flint tools to paintings by the Groningen artists’ society De Ploeg. An extensive trove of Groningen silver, including a miniature Martini tower, is on display in the Treasure Room, while the Masterpiece Room
showcases 17th-century paintings. Numerous items in the pavilion reflect the history and culture of Groningen. The last rooms are devoted to Dutch and international modern art, fashion and design, with Pieke Bergmans’ “From the Sky” as a highlight.

CUBE DESIGN MUSEUM

WHAT IS DESIGN?

‘LIGHT BLUB’

Permanent exhibition.

This permanent exhibition shows the diversity of design. Design is everywhere, design is making choices, but design is also making mistakes. Design is in and around our body and design is subject to trends. Design is personal, subjective and time-bound. Design is a process.

People use objects that have been designed and produced in many different ways. But what makes the one object a work of art and the other an object for everyday use? This exhibition illustrates the multitude and versatility of design and explores how it comes into being, who creates it and for whom, why it sometimes goes wrong, how design serves society, and the trends that inspire it.

MUDAC

VERRE EN SCÈNE

‘PHENOMENEON – Aurora’

Part of the museum collection of MUDAC.

Mudac’s contemporary glass art collection
includes over 600 pieces. Nevertheless, the
exhibition area on the museum’s top floor
only allows for a tiny fraction of them to be
displayed. That is why, every two months,
Verre en scène presents a new art piece
taken from the museum’s storage. This
selection aims to be varied, dynamic and
original – a novel display concept that also
stems from a desire to showcase the porous
boundaries between the fields of glass art,
design and contemporary art. Thus, the
works of international glass artists and
designers and the use of various techniques
and diverse creative contexts give this
unique collection greater exposure. The
display in darkness with focused lighting
offers an opportunity for the viewer to
approach these contemporary glass
creations in a unique way.

MOTHER

Baby ‘BOAZ’

In October 2018 Pieke became a mother. A new chapter in her life. She decided to take a sabbatical to take care of her son and have quality time together. Also she felt it was a perfect time to reflect onto her career after many moving years full of projects around the globe. A temporary break in a world that is changing rapidly. So a good time to see and feel and get inspiration for new work in the future. Meanwhile she has been taking part of a few selected exhibitions and commissions.

‘DREAM OUT LOUD’
Designing for tomorrows demands

curated by Lennart Booij

The exhibition includes works by Pieke Bergmans, Agatha Haines, Bart Hess, Benedikt Fischer, Boyan, Slat, Claire Verkoyen, Dirk van der Kooij, Elisa van Joolen, Fairphone, Floor Nijdeken, Formafantasma, Helmut Smits, Hella Jongerius, Jesse Howard, Marjan van Aubel, Marleen Kaptein, Metahaven, Next Nature, Network, Olivier van Herpt, Patrick Kruithof, Pavèl van Houten, Pieter Stoutjesdijk, Studio Drift, Studio Roosegaarde, Studio Stallinga

The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam stages a major bi-annual survey spotlighting the latest innovations, with this edition focusing on contemporary design. A jury selected 26 participants from 400 submissions that came in via an‘open call’: designers who are truly dreaming out loud, striving to create a better world. Designed meat to be less dependent on the bio industry, discarded CD’s melted down to print a chair, windows charging your phone – anything is possible for these desginers who are out to improve what already exists, rather than adding to the abundance of luxury items.

Na het internationale succes van Dutch Design slaat een jonge generatie Nederlandse ontwerpers nieuwe wegen in. Onderzoek naar de rol en functie van design is hun uitgangspunt. Steeds draait het om de vraag: wat doen we met de overdaad? Materiaal, techniek en het ontwerpproces worden herijkt. Vernieuwing ontstaat door stil te staan. Deze designers kijken om zich heen en vragen zich af: ‘hoe kan het anders?’

Four creatives souls; Inez van Oord (writer) & Mirjam Bleeker (photographer), Jet Bergmans (artist) & Pieke Bergmans (artist) travelled to Peru and created this book for Helena van Engelen – Mamita: mother of a valley of children.

‘Mamita’ is an inspiring story about Helena’s life and contains amazing pictures & illustrations and a project that Pieke designed together with the children of the holy valley: ‘El Sueno’ (the dream).

100% of the profit of this book goes to the children in Peru.
