new energy in design and art – 29.10.11 / 26.02.12 – au musée boijmans van beuningen (pays-bas)

New energy in design and art is an exhibition about energy and the search for a new balance in our living environment. Artists, designers and progressive thinkers present their (alternative) ideas about our consumption of energy.

The exhibit ion at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam, Pays-Bas) features surprising, strange and sometimes unimaginable objects and sculptures that deal with the theme of sustainable progress. Some are poetic, others are alienating or perhaps brilliant. But they all relevant. This exhibition will be an eye-opener.

New energy in design and art demonstrates how we can think differently about the consumption of energy. In Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen sustainable progress will be approached and presented in an art-historical context. The artists and designers in this exhibition no longer think in terms of utopian ideas but show us pure reality. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen attempts to bring this reality into contact with our imagination.

Artists:
Joris Laarman, Jurgen Bey, Mischer’traxler, Gerrit van Bakel, Dunne & Raby, Auger-Loizeau, Philippe Rahm, Zoe Papadopoulou, Design Drift, Theo Jansen and Tomás Libertiny.
