Guided Tour: NOMADIC FURNITURE 3.0. New Liberated Home Living?
28.9.2013, 2pm–3pm
This exhibition curated by Martina Fineder, Thomas Geisler and Sebastian Hackenschmidt and designed by raumlaborberlin examines the DIY movement based on the book series Nomadic Furniture published by James Hennessey/Victor Papanek in the 1970s. Looking back at the historical development enables a better assessment of contemporary DIY strategies between the polarities of mainstream and alternative culture: ranging from Gerrit Rietveld, Enzo Mari, also Matali Crasset, Jerszy Seymour, and on to the younger generation including Van Bo Le-Mentzel, Minale Maeda and not forgetting chmara.rosinke, the MAK Designers in Residence 2013.
