„JR. Déplacé∙e∙s”.
The inspiration of our Member of the month April 2023: Ralf Huss. The french artist JR exhibits his projects that combine photography, public art and social commitment in the Gallerie d´Italia in Turin.

Details

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.

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.

The survey is in german language.

Paula Scher – Type is Image
The exhibition is dedicated to the work of Paula Scher, one of the most influential and successful graphic artists of her generation.

Details

With Type is Image, Die Neue Sammlung continues its tradition of inviting important contemporary designers to a site-specific installation. Paula Scher, who has been shaping graphic design with her innovative creativity for over five decades, has accepted this invitation with a walk-in exhibition of her work.

Until September 2024, the exhibition shows commissioned works from Scher's beginnings to the present day: from the appearance of the Public Theater in New York to the campaign for Rockaway Beach after the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 to her room and façade designs.

From the floor to the walls to the hanging letters and posters, the exhibition Type is Image offers visitors the opportunity to be surrounded by Paula Scher's work. Even the display cases are supported by letters. From every angle, new perspectives and interesting interplays of different works emerge.

HOW DO WE AGGLO?
Opening HOW DO WE AGGLO? Designing Urban Ecotones We introduce AGGLOmeration as a design activity. In departing from the common understanding of agglomeration as description of problematic disjuncted urban spaces, we can activate hitherto neglected urban areas and make use of their undiscovered potentialities.

Details

Faceless, fragmented, forgotten –

This is the condition of most urban sites in cities around the globe. How to agglomerate these atomized bits and pieces? Imagine creating urban ecotones as places of friction and encounter, where spatial interventions prompt people to co-inhabit buildings, open spaces, urban systems, and atmospheres.
Welcome to the experiment of the Initiators: Benita Braun-Feldweg (bfstudio-architekten Berlin), Lisa Diedrich (Walter Gropius Lehrstuhl Buenos Aires und SLU-Malmö), Flavio Janches (FADU- UBA Buenos Aires).
An Exhibition which AGGLOmerates 5 approaches, 4 universities, 3 disciplines to suggest ideas for an urban living on 3 sites in Berlin.

HOW DO WE AGGLO?
Is taking place in the rooms of the Metropolenhaus.
