“Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions.” (Michael Jackson)
On April 25-26, 2014, we will show our works in Berlin at “designtransfer”, the exhibition space of the Udk.
Our exhibition’s name is #blaueblumen and means “blue flowers” in German.
101 of you will be chosen to exhibit a series of blue flowers.
The selection will be made next week, during the three last days of Design 101 (Feb 3-5).
on Tuesday: you will collect flowers, either references or real ones. You will have to document your research.
on Wednesday: you will make a blue flower.
on Thursday: you will make a series of blue flowers.
on Friday: you will create an online collection of the flowers you made on Thursday.
on Saturday: you will relax and catch up!
on Sunday: we will enjoy a very special present that is now being shaped by some of you.
The field of blue flowers we have on our exhibition’s flyer were made by Alan Fletcher and come from The Art of Looking Sideways... “The ultimate guide to visual awareness, a magical compilation that will entertain and inspire all those who enjoy the interplay between word and image, and who relish the odd and
the unexpected.”
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World,
Goethe’s “Urpflanze”: the mother of all plants.
“There must be such a plant, after all. If allplants were not moulded on one pattern, how could I recognize that they are plants?”
