DDW part2

Last weekend we had another look around at what was poppin at the Dutch Design Week. My friends Peter, Sebaske and his Misses came over for some old Gramma style partying, but they’ve already made a feature about that so I’ll stick to the design and art stuff…On sundays Danny on the Moon and Hanna joined so it was a very nice busy weekend after all…here some highlights:

First went to see the Lift Off exhibition and one of the best works we’ve seen this week was from Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar. They made this ‘M2-M3′ exhibition all based on the most basic shapes, the square, triangle and circle working only with coloured paper as material. They play with the 3D effect of 2D surfaces just by cutting and folding and create a very strong esthetic. The images you see are photographs of colored paper placed and folded on top of each other, the shadows and reflections create this image, no photoshop used!

Lucy and Bart invited their audience for some LowTech Plastic Surgery:

On friday evening the event at Dings:

On saturdays we went to the Strijp area and saw the Stuffed exhibition, that was really nice:
