For its exhibition EXPOSES YOUR DESIGNER, Kidnap Your Designer proposes an interactive typographical installation named “Noteâ€?. This word, composed on the ground consists of notepads made from recovered pieces of paper. The visitor is invited to register a note, a memo for the following visitors or to pick a notepad. A fixed camera will collect each day at fixed hour the images of the exposure. Those will be then published on the site of KYD, and the exposure will extend then virtually apart from the walls from space my.monkey.
Behind denomination KYD hiding place the Belgian designer Caroline Dath. In 2006, it finishes its studies with the ERG and starts its own agency. She also took courses of typography at the Higher School of Arts Saint-Luc E Liege.
3 forces in contemporary visual culture, in 3 distinct areas of expertise, from 3 world cities come together for 1 unique exhibition.
Maxalot (Barcelona) invites leading graphic studio Build (London), to collaborate with industrial architects Commonwealth (New York), for a 2d-3d face-off using cutting edge graphic software versus computer-numerically-controlled industrial design technology.
The exhibition combines printed graphics by Build, with industrial 3D deconstructions by Commonwealth in a series of unique objets d’art. Printed vectors bleed into 3-dimensional surfaces as projected lines etched into the Corian® frames which house them.
The exhibition is a fusion of graphic and product design with the graphics by Build bleeding from the giclée prints into digitally-manufactured Corian® frames by Commonwealth.
On/Off was first exhibited in June 2006 at Espeis Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn as the first in the invitational “Commonwealth vs.” series of five exhibitions, curated by Maxalot, exploring new territories in the emerging field of design-as-art.
For the London edition, Maxalot has teamed up with the Brompton Design Project to host the exhibition in a uniquely classical setting – a sharp contrast to the sleek lines and tongue-in-cheek character of the exhibition pieces.
