These works were created as part of Experimenta design festival, my part being commissioned by the British Council.
eye magazine blog about the project
Exhibition Text:
The British Council, on behalf of the UK, participated in this year’s Experimenta Festival which launched in September 2009 in Lisbon. We presented our response to Timeless, the brief set to us by Experimenta, which formed one of the four exhibitions at this year’s festival (the others were presented by India, Portugal and South Africa). Timeless was shown at the Museu do Oriente from 11 September to 8 November.
Alongside our co-curator Clare Cumberlidge, we commissioned six designers and collectives; Åbäke, Linda Brothwell, Anthony Burrill, Fabien Cappello, Ben Kelly and public works (see below for brief introductions), asking them to respond to the dual implications of the subject - urgency and the passing of time. Each of them created work which explores the idea of ‘place’ within ‘time’ through a series of site-specific commissions which appeared around Lisbon.
