Wouldn’t It Be Nice… Wishful Thinking in Art & Design

Centre d’Art Contemporain Geneve
8 Feb - 25 May 2008
Museum fur Gestaltung Zurich
Sep- Dec 2008
Somerset House London

Art and design have had an enduringly productive relationship. Artists and designers, as well as graphic artists, fashion designers, and architects, share common strategies, methods, and aims. While some artists employ design strategies to make socially critical statements, others use design as a way of reflecting everyday phenomena, emotions, or conceptual approaches. Many designers on the other hand, having dispensed with any belief in the ideal of neutrality, intervene increasingly in social, political, ethical, or ecological discourses. This exhibition confronts ten contemporary positions on the edge of reality, on the border of what is possible.
A group show with Jurgen Bey, Bless, Dexter Sinister, Dunne & Raby, Michael Anastasiades, Alisa Framis, Martino Gamper, Ryan Gander, Marti Guixe, Tobias Rehberger and Superflex.
