The book Design/Art, Limited Editions wants to shed light on this phenomenon as it presents itself today. In collaboration with international, specialised galleries, an overview of the work of more than 70 international designers has been put together. The introductory text contains the final results of a lively discussion between curators and design critics, who obviously did not reach a unanimous opinion. Perhaps this publication will enrich your personal understanding of the matter. Each copy of the book supports the concept with a serial number on the cover.
Marti Guixé, Open-End
€45.00The work of self-proclaimed ex-designer Martí Guixé (°1964) can aptly be described as ‘beyond design’. Creating new objects he finds rather ‘superfluous’ and ‘boring’; he prefers to concentrate on ideas, systems and living matter such as food and human behaviour. As a ‘global designer’, Guixé constantly travels back and forth between Berlin and his native Barcelona, analyses situations, rituals and movements and proposes radical solutions with a minimum of ergonomics – simple, immaterial, humorous and often iconoclastic.
