You stay in control of the creative decisions. - Edward W. Godwin und Oscar Wilde. Dandys Dekadenz Moderne – Dandys & Drinks14.08.26

Ausgehend von der beispielhaften Verbindung von Kunst, Design und Lebensstil, die Godwin und Wilde kultivierten, beleuchtet die Schau die ästhetischen und gesellschaftlichen Grundlagen einer Bewegung, die über das 19. Jahrhundert hinaus wirkmächtig blieb und die Entwicklung des Designs maßgeblich beeinflusste. Erleben Sie die Eleganz und Extravaganz des viktorianischen Aesthetic Movements. Nach einer Kuratorenführung durch die Ausstellung klingt der Abend bei einem Cocktail aus – bei gutem Wetter im Freien. - SOIRÉE XD #1920.08.26

Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich Räume, Verantwortung und Finanzierung so zusammenbringen lassen, dass Infrastruktur und Kapazitäten für eine Circular Society flächendeckend entstehen und langfristig abgesichert sind – damit Reparieren, Teilen und Wiederverwenden nicht einzelne Nischenangebote bleiben, sondern selbstverständlicher Teil des Alltags werden. Die Ansätze des Kreislers nehmen wir dabei konkret unter die Lupe. - Built for Real Life: Korean Design Meets BerlinNew03.09.26
