exhibition "InGrezen Frei" : http://www.berlin.de/orte/museum/kunstgewerbemuseum/index.fr.php
Dans la RDA des année 80 le vêtement était un produit standardisé et fonctionnel laissant peu de place pour un style personnel qui permettait de se démarquer. L’exposition"InGrezen Frei" (libre dans certaine limite) au musée des "arts décoratifs" de Berlin montre qu’un mouvement à ermergé entre 1979 et 1989...un mouvement qui montrait que cette jeunesse résistait à l’Etat par le refus d’une mode collective en portant des vêtements de création unique. Ces collectifs clandestins fabriquaient leurs propres vêtements et organisaient des défilés de mode.

First multi-service cooperative for professional artists in NY Metro area
by rikuniaku97
ART-TROPE was born when artist Virginie Tison envisioned an idea to help artists promote their work: provide them with high profile, international locales to exhibit their work, at minimal expense.
Today, artists face a mounting challenge in their career: to divide their time between creating art and managing the business of their art. With ART-TROPE, artists can find everything they need: exhibit planning, their very own micro-website, discounted art services, and much more.
Artists can focus on being creative and can work independently, while ART-TROPE worries about their promotional & exhibit planning.
ART-TROPE ensures effective connections between artists, exhibition sites, and sponsors - everything it takes to break into the art world.
ART-TROPE'S mission is to create professional relationships for artists by connecting them with high-profile exhibition sites and well-established sponsors in the creative arena. ART-TROPE helps artists find their place in the professional art market, giving them the opportunity to evolve in every direction they desire.
ART-TROPE charges artists a minimal fee and allows them to be independently creative.
ART-TROPE builds the bridge between artists, exhibition spaces, and businesses passionate about art.

Functional Design for a Dysfunctional World - That’s Design!
by oqdbpo
Introduction
We are facing a planet that is slowly disintegrating by pollution and global warming. We live in a society that is sadly corrupted by violence and inequality. And in which poverty goes hand in hand with over consumption. Our world certainly is a dysfunctional world. This exhibition focuses on a group of young designers who operate both as producers and social engineers. In their desire for an instantly engaged attitude, they reinterpret their own environment to offer useful and ingenious suggestions for design that can be at once critical, functional and witty. Using prosaic materials, found or recycled objects, and by reassembling and reconstructing old and new,
they address environmental problems, gender issues, and politics of space, or simply press for a more human face of design. Not without humour they trigger awareness of our patterns of behaviour. And by exploring the symbolic values of the objects that surround us, they remind us that while we all share the dream of living in a better world we are equally responsible for creating or at least sustaining it. The participants in the exhibition are students or recent graduates of Konstfack from different departments, including Interior Design and architecture, Industrial Design, Glass and Ceramics and Textiles.
