Design by Performance 

Performance and Performativity in Design 
14/03/2010 - 30/05/2010

The boundaries between art and experimental design are becoming ever more blurred. Z33 
already focussed on this phenomenon in ‘Designing Critical Design’, which featured 
designers who introduce a critical viewpoint on design and on their own practice. 
’Design by Performance’ is a showcase for performative trends in contemporary design. 
The exhibition doesn’t focus on finished products, but on the production process itself: 
objects whose realisation is a continuous project, affected or formed by either the 
environment, the specific situation they are placed in, or the audience / visitors. 
Processes and performances constitute a crucial part of Design by Performance, lending 
the exhibition an unpredictable and transformative character, and converting what is 
otherwise a static ‘exhibition space’ into a space open to action and change.
