OPEN SOCIETY
Design in Gesellschaft
24.9.–3.10.2021
They cook with lichen, run a farm in the basement or their own furniture label, cooperate with museums and microbes, sew costumes, invent new measuring and musical instruments, build future worlds ... In the enchanting courtyard of Engerthstraße 124 in the 20th district, eleven designers from a wide range of sectors have settled down in order to work together in good company on designs that will move us forward as a society – a workshop for the future, from rough to glossy, lace skirts to boiler suits, fiction to structure. Everyone’s invited to the grand opening party, with its exhibition, market, film screening, and barbecue. Then, from 25.9., a different member of the club will open the gate to the courtyard every day and present their work, accompanied by a cool drink. An open studio – followed by a dip in the Danube …
The Gesellschaft consists of Franz Ehn, Sophie Falkeis, Stephanie Kneissl, Philipp Loidolt-Shen, Mia Meus, Peter Paulhart, Kerstin Pfleger, Johanna Pichlbauer, Isabel Prade, Julia Schwarz, and Christoph Wimmer-Ruelland.
