Der Zweck ist weg…
Wie Kunst und Design sich verändern, wenn ein ästhetischer Schlüsselbegriff aus der Mode gerät.
Art raises questions, design solves them.
In German
Design seeks functionality, while art has no practical purpose: but is this still the case? What relationship is there between functionality and free creativity in two similar but different disciplines, such as design and art? How well do we know how to read the language that design objects speak? How to present and communicate them in a museum? Four high-level speakers address these questions from different perspectives and angles. The cycle opens with Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen.
The relationship between art and design is at the center of the new cycle of conferences, which takes inspiration from the activation of the curriculum in Art in the Degree Course in Design and Arts of the Free University of Bolzano.
