The inspiration of our Member of the month March 2023: Anja Muschiol
On the basis of 700 recordings, the exhibition illuminates the development of the record as a medium for art from the post-war period to the present day. The panorama is expanded by sound works from the National Gallery's extensive collection, including room-filling sound installations and immersive media works. The exhibition is intended as a tribute to artists and vinyl enthusiasts, but also as documentation of the renewed attention paid to the record as a niche product and collector's item.

„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.

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.

IDZ Meetup during Berlin Design Week
The IDZ Berlin cordially invites you to a get-together during the Berlin Design Week 2023. We are looking forward to welcoming our members as well as guests from Germany and abroad. Among others, Adi Ticho and Nivi Lehavi from Unveil will present their AR platform. Their platform enables artists to show their work in public space. Maybe we will let pigeons fly together? In any case, we can take the opportunity to celebrate a bit the always inspiring shoulder-to-shoulder of design, art and technology....

Details

Unveil Founders:
Adi Ticho & Nivi Lehavi

With a background in design, Adi and Nivi are excited to find the intersection between creativity and technology while working with technology as a creative tool, and using creative thinking to challenge technology.

The two met while studying for a master's degree in Social Design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and began working together, now based in Tel Aviv.

Unveil is a platform that presents digital art around the city using augmented reality technology. AR makes it possible to place art anywhere, easily, and create a new experience of art, and of discovering places and stories in the city.
The platform enables AR technology to be a new creative medium.
