“Photography in abundance” / 24 Hours of Flickr Photos installation by Erik Kessels

“Through the digitalisation of photography and the rise of sites such as Flickr and Facebook, everyone now takes photos, and distributes and shares them with the world - the result is countless photos at our disposal. Kessels visualises ‘drowning in pictures of the experiences of others’, by printing all the images that were posted on Flickr during a 24-hour period and dumping them in the exhibition space. The end result is an overwhelming presentation of a million prints.”

sugary Design Criminals book

The exhibition catalogue with slipcase for the past Design Criminals exhibition at the Vienna MAK is entirely edible. Made with sugar pastillage, Andreas Pohancenik (from Practice + Theory) designed a typographically unique book and signage for the exhibit.

“…If pastillage often historically represented architecture and objects, might this tradition be reversed and allow architecture and design to learn from its now distant relative? If we think of a cake, in some way at least, as an architectural object, might we also be able to think of ways in which architecture and design might be able to possess cake-like qualities?…” —Andreas Pohancenik on “ornament and crime”

“…Miami based Jen Stark’s vibrant oeuvre of the last few years comes full circle here with works that pay homage to her own prolific trajectory. A recessed paper hole in the wall reminiscent of a seminal early work sets the tone for a reflective collection of characteristically mystifying sculptures… —text via Jen Stark news page
