Lodz will host its fourth International Design Festival from 14th to 30th October 2010 based on the theme AMAZING LIFE.
The organisers invited Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka, design curator, and Oskar Zieta, innovative formmaker, to curate works for two exhibitions as part of the main festival programme. Crumple Zone and Underpressure will present different stages of the design process, the uses of untypical materials and ways in which artists search for and gather ideas.
As explained by Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka:
Every year the Lodz Design festival touches upon the relation between a human being and an object. The theme of this year's edition of the Festival is AMAZING LIFE. Immersed in the everyday humdrum, we fail to register the obvious phenomena: the sun, rain, clouds and wind, warmth, cold, melting and stretching - aren't those extraordinary? Most of us can only admire them but some are able to make use of them and benefit the society.(more...)
