RE:WORK
@ Secrist Beach
1801 W Hubbard St, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, November 23rd, from 6PM - 8PM
On view through Saturday, November 23rd
Students and faculty are thrilled to share RE:Work, a collaborative exhibition between two Master’s courses at UIC’s School of Design.
The first course is a studio taught by Norman Teague that invites industrial design students to develop a deep understanding of re-claimed material in building nomadic furniture inspired by the work of Enzo Mari. Students will display collaboratively-produced furniture and designed objects that re-think traditional ways of living and working, celebrating and re-invigorating appreciation for the ad-hoc.
The second is a seminar instructed by Bridgette Buckley that investigates the meaning of permanence in design through a series of interrelated thematic nodes, from memory to entropy. Participating industrial and graphic design students will display re-imagined household objects that convey the various themes of permanence, as well as posters that continue to re-think their meanings.
The two courses work, in juxtaposition, reveals a sharp shared focus on re-sponding to historical context, re-freshing the outmoded, and re-orienting toward meaningful design practices for the individual and collective.
