Save the date!

GiG Munich is planning a group show to coincide with the annual München Kunstwochenende taking place on the 8th, 9th and 10th of November. Save the date!

America has from its inception had a powerful mythic pull for the world beyond it. America, as well as being a place, is made of a heady, swirling abstraction of ideas, fantasies, dreams, myths, and images: forms of the imaginary which belong no less to the world than to Americans. Our America (we who are not Americans) invokes fierce partisan emotions, and draws us here and there in our relation to our own circumstances as well as the reality of the United States, better and worse. This America, the America of the rest of the world, has been, and continues to be, a material and drive for tremendous cultural production.

Alasdair Duncan, Amerika

U-S-A, organized by GiG Munich, continues with the premise put forward by the curators of Amerika. The show aims to collect our European visions of America and reflect the mediated relation we have with the current realities of the United States.

GiG Munich invites artists, designers, architects, photographers and filmmakers to submit posters documenting their American visions. These 20 posters will be shown as part of Munich’s Art Weekend 2013 and then incorporated into the larger Amerika show.

DH product design at MCBW (2)

Some more photos from DH product design at MCBW, this time taken at night for a more dramatic effect:

The DELO 4.2 and the transparent 3-Star in front of the cube lights. The Reading light is switched on. This image demonstrates how the different use of metal changes the quality of the energy saving lightbulbs, with the brass and copper cubes lending the light a particularly warm glow.

The left hand side of the gallery as you enter, showing the orange KYDEX 3-Star, the white 4-Star and the DELO 4.2.

And finally, the right had side of the gallery again, with the DELO 4.2, the transparent 3-Star and the orange Kelis.

These are the first installation shots of DH product design at GiG Munich.

This installation view shows the entire range of the cube lights, including the Star Ghost light on the left, the Reading light in the middle and the Ganges light on the right. Suspended from the ceiling above is the white 4-Star on the left, the DELO 4.2 in the middle and the transparent 3-Star on the right.

This next image shows more of DELO 4.2, the transparent 3 Star and the orange Kelis.

The last image shows the line of lights to the right of the DELO 4.2. Running from right to left, these mark the chronological progress of DH product design pendant lighting. The early 3-Star and Kelis exhibited as part of the Hidden Art stand at Milan’s Salone Satellite in 2007 still retain a metal structural element; the more recent transparent 3-Star is made from a single plastic sheet.
