TOTEM AND TABOO - complexity and relationships between art and design

Come and visit the exhibtion TOTEM AND TABOO in the context of VIENNA DEISGN WEEK at freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL. My MIRROR CHAIRS will be part of the exhibition.

TOTEM AND TABOO views art as a relative of design. The eponymous collection of essays by Sigmund Freud defines totem as an object representing an absent relative. Taboo stands for the fear of incest, or excessive closeness among family members. Curators Elena Agudio, Bessaam El-Asmar, Tido von Oppeln, and Alexandra Waldburg-Wolfegg referred to Freud's text as a model to describe the relationship between design and art.

It features works by contemporary designers and artists who work on the frontiers and crossovers of their respective disciplines.

International participants include Øystein Aasan, Stephane Barbier Bouvet, Paolo Chiasera, Jan De Cock, Martino Gamper, Jeppe Hein, Kueng Caputo, Lisa Lapinski, Rodney LaTourelle & Louise Witthoeft, Kai Linke, Studio Makkink & Bey, Michaela Meise, Mirko Mielke, Manfred Pernice, Gianni Pettena, Bertjan Pot, Stefan Sagmeister, Andrea Sala, Joe Scanlan, Clemence Seilles, Judith Seng & Alex Valder, Jerszy Seymour, Florian Slotawa, Albert Weis, Johannes Wohnseifer and Heimo Zobernig
