Nuclear industry is undergoing a process of decommissioning and waste management. At the same time, a renewed interest in the ‘nuclear humanities’ is now also reaching art and curating. Curator and writer Ele Carpenter reflects on the relation of art and nuclear culture.
In the first Z33 Debate, ‘Future Thinking,’ Jan Boelen and Tobias Revell explore a series of questions related to design and future thinking. Whereas all designers design for the future, some do it more intentionally than others; for some, proposing or facilitating alternative future visions is the core of their work.
On November 17 last year, the seventh Nuclear Culture Roundtable took place at Z33, a day of debates accompanying the exhibition Perpetual Uncertainty. What exactly is nuclear culture, and what’s the origin of the Nuclear Culture Roundtable?
With exhibition ‘The Wilde Things,’ Z33 explores new presentation models for contemporary jewellery in context of a wearer and within a narrative framework. Furthermore it takes a critical look at current developments within this discipline, which has evolved since the 1960s to become an autonomous, artistic, and reflective design practice.
The Induction Series by Aernoudt Jacobs, co-produced by Z33, reviews and re-interprets the laws of electromagnetic induction to make sounds, and emphasizes the transition between what can be seen and what can be heard.
In the case of sound art, the medium itself forces the viewer to change his normal mode of perception. Finding the right form for the presentation is a crucial element, especially in the world of visual arts that is mostly focused on the visual.
Based on performance, exhibition All the Knives (Any Printed Story on Request) is triggered by audience entering the exhibition space. Always animated by performers, the show gathers stories of objects that are in constant flux.
Jan Boelen, Johanna Agermann Ross of Disegno magazine and freelance design writer and critic Tamar Shafrir discuss the role of design discourse and critique at the horizon of Milan Design Week.
