Performance and Performativity in Design

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.
