The inspiration of our Member of the month April 2023 Ralf Huss.
After the exhibition stage in Munich in January, the works of the French artist JR can be seen at the Gallerie d'Italia in Turin until 16th July. At the centre of his artistic activity are larger-than-life art interventions in public space that deal with the problems of migrants and refugees. The size makes the artworks interactive, while thematically raising questions about social fragility. JR's art is created with people for people, emphasises individual as well as societal roles, and ultimately seeks to answer the question of whether art can change the world.

Retrotopia. Design for Socialist Spaces.
IDZ member Silke Ihden-Rothkirch is co-curator of the international cooperative exhibition project "Retrotopia. Design for Socialist Spaces". The exhibition can be seen at the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts.

Details

The exhibition promises a juxtaposition of different design positions from numerous post-socialist countries. Both realised and visionary designs, dedicated to private and public space, offer new and surprising insights and might contribute to an overdue reassessment of global design history.
The exhibition focuses on the boom of future orientation between the 1950s and 1980s. Thanks to technological progress, the future was suddenly calculable through systematised innovations.
All according to the associated narrative in post-war modernism, which is still valid today: technological progress promotes social prosperity promotes happiness for all.

In addition to futuristic interiors for hotels, airports or one's own home, the exhibition also shows examples of visual communication for sports competitions and festivals in urban spaces, as well as reconstructions of visionary architecture and cybernetic living spaces.

During the event period until the 16th July, a curator's guided tour will be offered every second Thursday.

Tickets cost €8, or €4 for discounted tickets.

Making the value of design visible
In cooperation with the Institute for Design Research at the h_da University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, the German Design Council would like to investigate where and how design is anchored in German companies.

Details

Where and in which way design is used in german companies?.

Are there designers working on innovations or on corporate strategies in your company? In your company, does design contribute to differentiation or also in the area of transformation?

The 2 minute survey focuses on the status quo regarding in which corporate areas (differentiation, transformation, corporate strategy and innovation) designers are active in German companies.

The results can be used to derive best-case scenarios, conclusions about the value of design for corporate success, and a set of arguments for the proper integration of the design function into the organization.

Click here to access the survey.
The survey is in german language.
