  • INVITED PROJECT: FLAGS

    VISIT THE INSTALLATION IN THE CLOISTER OF THE MUSÉE DE LA VIE WALLONNE

    Curators: Jeremy Joncheray & Benjamin DupuisFig.(BE)

    Flags are symbols, message carriers, images of belonging to a group… During the first two editions of Fig., Liege’s annual international graphic festival, carte blanche was given to selected professional graphic designers to create a flag and question it as more than a graphic object.
    This installation will present a selection of those flags made between 2016 and 2018.

     

    Discover the invited designers

  • DISCOVER THE EXHIBITIONS AT LA BOVERIE

     

    Discover the exhibitions FRAGILITAS and CONFESSIONS at La Boverie. FRAGILITAS reflects on human fragility in three strands: Handle With Care by curator Nawal Bakouri, Precarious Architecture & Design by curator Jean-Philippe Possoz and Design for (Every)One by curator Lieven De Couvreur. FRAGILITAS is a reflection on the way design can lead us towards a more equitable society. The creativity of design translates challenges into opportunities. It explores both mundane and life-changing circumstances. The very fragility of the human condition is framed as a ‘positive’ theme, one to analyse and divest objects and services with improved meanings in new paradigms. These three insightful observers guide each segment, with a scenography by DesignWithGenius that orchestrates a seamless journey and creates a dialogue between the exhibitions, involving visitors in an active reading of design and an educational narrative.

     

    CONFESSIONS, of the research centre FABRICA, is the portrait form that Fabrica asks its team members to use when they tell us about themselves. It is a candid dialogue with the world and with oneself. The ‘confessions’ are the self-portraits of the Fabrica project’s team members: freestyle, taking the form of objects, images, videos, or any other form of expression that demonstrates the team members’ authenticity and attests to their unique vision of themselves.

Programme 2

RECIPROCITY design liège is an international triennale of design & social innovation.

 

The next edition is scheduled for 5 October until 25 November 2018. It will take place in prestigious locations across Liege and its province, with the participation of other cities of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. And to make it easier for schools and other educational institutions to visit, the duration of the 2018 event has been significantly extended.

 

Since its first edition in 2012, RECIPROCITY has questioned design and its impact in cultural, economic and social contexts. Its main mission is to provoke, value, and welcome international expressions generated by an open and diversified approach. Here, design is intended as a critical space of research/action; a place for the reflection and production of ethical and sustainable projects.

For the first time since its reopening, La Boverie will host a chorus of reflections on international contemporary design that will occupy all the rooms of the museum. In the glazed wing, monumental installations will enhance its scale and emphasise the link between the museum and the city, between a place of culture and the public space. In short, culture as a common good.

 

An innovative creative force often comes from a moment of crisis; a turning point; a change; a conflict. It can be transformative for both the individual and communities. 

FRAGILITAS is one of the main thematic cores of this edition. Its raw materials are the crucial points of our existence, and the changing needs these provoke. By nature wide-ranging, this is a reflection on the way design can lead us towards a more equitable society. Here, the creativity of design translates challenges into opportunities. 

 

Whether it is issues faced by an ageing population, people experiencing all types of disabilities, or the fragile existence of those forced to migrate because of conflict or natural disaster, FRAGILITAS explores both mundane and life-changing circumstances. The very fragility of the human condition is framed as a ‘positive’ theme, one to analyse and divest objects and services with improved meanings in new paradigms.

 

FRAGILITAS is a three-part exhibition that focuses on design’s (products, prototypes, graphics and architecture) engagement with different aspects of human fragility. Three insightful observers guide each segment, with a scenography that orchestrates a seamless journey and creates a dialogue between the exhibitions, involving visitors in an active reading of design and an educational narrative.

HANDLE WITH CARE

Handle with Care  explores the tensions that arise when design confronts human well-being. Objects, spaces, graphics, and services, engage and affect our bodies, minds, and even our spirits. Often their design promises transformation, for us, and others, impacting on our relationships. They can also serve as a witness to our vision(s) of medical conditions, normality and vulnerability.

However, these very objects are frequently criticised. In their desire to ensure safety, they can both increase autonomy and restrict; norms can be broken, or reaffirmed. In addressing a need, or allowing the development of capacities, they can create friction, between independence and submission. Somehow, the rationale of the object has to correspond with shifting principles of care. The ethics of the object becomes the ethics of care.

 

This exhibition focuses on revealing the dialogue and distance between cure and care. How can design help us better face our vulnerabilities? How can we overcome stigma, ensuring that aids and devices are more acceptable, even desirable? How exactly does the designer work to create these, transforming the daily experiences of people in fragile situations? And, finally, how can design enable us to find, or rediscover life’s pleasures?

 

Through nearly 70 projects, the exhibition explores the themes of beauty, comfort, follow-up care, support, prevention, and the relationships, including acceptance, care provokes. It will show objects that accompany both the lives of people in daily care, and exceptional objects that point to the limits of serial production or their development. (Nawal Bakouri) – Go to top

DESIGN FOR [EVERY]ONE 

Design for (Every)One – photo Marc Wendelski

The advent of networked computers and digital fabrication make it feasible that individuals, who mainly fall out of the mainstream, can produce or adapt their own unique tools. More often than not, these hacks can even compete with the qualitative standards of mass-production coming from large factories. Within the context of design for disability, this perspective opens-up a complementary alternative to universal design. Today, there are a lot of people with disabilities whose assistive devices have not yet come about due to highly individual needs and challenges. A new generation of makers and healthcare professionals are seizing this opportunity, producing one-of-a-kind product adaptations in people’s homes, sheltered workshops, and rehabilitation centres. Although future healthcare policies are encouraging to effectively engaged people in the collaborative maintenance of their own health, there is little known on the dynamics of these community-based processes, and how professional designers can take part in them. (Lieven De Couvreur)

 

This exhibition opens the discussion on the use of product hacking methodologies within self-care, framing them in contrast with universal design. Over the last eight years, the D4E1 research group from the University College of West Flanders (Howest) has conducted 110 participatory design case studies. Set up in local contexts and built around the meaningful activities of individual people, it is from this resource that project coordinator Lieven De Couvreur will make a content selection. 

PRECARIOUS ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

Today, architecture and design are gradually acknowledging the uncertain prospects of the world. The fragility of current and future global-local equilibriums, and the human consequences of these – conflicts, migration, poverty, and exclusion – are proving inescapable. 

Mutilating and mutilated practices, architecture and design contribute to this fragility, just as much as they undergo it. Far from a posture of denunciation or aestheticisation, this exhibition aims to raise the question of this context’s fertile potential – the illuminating power of fragility. 

 

Through the work of committed authors (architects, designers, researchers, ao), the content will echo new practices and new modes of action. In their respective disciplines, these place themselves outside conventional frameworks, in positions that while uncomfortable, are potentially necessary for renewal. It is an individual and collective way to make sense of this world, in culture, in action, through a triple reappropriation: that of material, time and bonds.

 

The exhibition combines different artefacts from different fields of practice, where architecture and design mix and sometimes merge. We made the choice to propose ‘approaches’ rather than to expose ‘products’. As a result, the translation of the process into the exhibition is as important as the staging of the result.

 

Also on show will be specific productions that arise from workshops during the academic year 2017-2018 at the Liege University/Faculty of Architecture and CEC Liège. (Jean-Philippe Possoz)

For this strand of FRAGILITAS, Giovanna Massoni and Jean-Philippe Possoz have invited Paolo Cascone to make a unique contribution. As part of the Precarious Architecture & Design exhibition, the well-known architect will produce an installation realised by a collaborative approach that involves the local community via a series of workshops. These workshops  –organised by ULiège Architecture and the CEC of the Province of Liège –will be held from March to August 2018, with the participation of architecture & design students, and local artisans.

An exhibition about Liège-based design organised by Wallonie Design

This exhibition presents different aspects of design and what is going on behind the scenes. A well-made design can seem so simple that it gives the impression it was made with ease. But in reality, in order to achieve a high quality result, designers require a range of know-hows that is not limited to creative, research, technical and observational skills, but also the capacity to go beyond constraints. Fragility is one of these constraints: the materials to work with, the precariousness of the designer’s status, time management, the complexity of relationships with customers or intermediaries, the difficulty to make one’s work known…

GALLERIES & ART CENTRES

Opening up to the established cultural life of Liege and its province, a selection of galleries and art centres tackle the FRAGILITAS theme. One or more creators (designers or artists) have been invited to create an exclusive project for each location, with the works to be a reflection on fragility and uncertainty. The Province of Liege-Culture has supported the productions.

A private mansion dating from 18th century hosts an exhibition of contemporary design from Dutch Limburg

Through around 40 objects, the exhibition presents a global view on the creative design sector of this Dutch province. The term ‘Limburg’ has been interpreted in a broad way for the event: any object developed by designers coming from, living or working in Limburg, has its place. And the Showroom presents products proposed by both renowned companies and smaller enterprises. Together, the exhibition offers an overview of current and cross-border design trends.

In cooperation with the design triennial RECIPROCITY with the motto “fragility” in Liège, various contemporary design positions from Germany and abroad will be on display at the Ludwig Forum for International Art. These do not only deal with the topic of “fragility” on a structural and material level, but also serve as reflections of our time and inspect political, social and discourse fields that challenge a conscious approach between design object and the viewer / user.

 

In addition to controversial jewellery designs, fragile fabrics and ceramics, various design approaches are also presented, which in a broader sense are dedicated to the topic of sustainability. Furthermore, considerations on dealing with city and nature, the use and influence of social media as well as questions on the subject of gender branding, time constructions and mental illness find their way into the design drafts.

 

LuForm meets RECIPROCITY

Opening: Tuesday 02.10.2018, 7pm

Free admission!

Designers : Anne Büscher, Hugo Duina, Camille El-Achkar, Rachelle Hornesch, Marco Iannicelli, Maria J Juchnowska, Laureline Lê, Lieke Li, Johannes Lindner, Mariya Molotnikova, Linda Nitsch, Romina Patt & Eike Töllner, Lukas Rudig, Dana Sáez, Alexander Schul, Janika Slowik, Giuditta Vendrame, Michelle Zwinkels

EXHIBITION OF THE LIÈGE-BASED DESIGNER FRÉDÉRIC RICHARD

Frédéric Richard, cabinet-maker, presents a new collection of furniture that he designs and produces himself. Pure lines, sublime materials, and the search for simple and clean details are the characteristics that unite the different pieces. This series highlights the virtues of artisanal work and advocates a return to basics.

The exceptional setting of the Mesangère, an 18th century mansion, enriches the scenography by confronting the past and contemporary worlds.

About 4

RECIPROCITY design liège is an international triennale of design and social innovation. Initiated by Paul-Émile Mottard, Provincial Deputy in charge of Culture and President of the Provincial Centre for Arts and Crafts of Liege (Office Provincial des Métiers d’Art de Liège – OPMA), it is organised by the Province of Liege-Culture in collaboration with OPMA and Wallonie Design. The event’s artistic director is Giovanna Massoni, who draws on her experience and engagement with the two previous editions. A consultant and journalist, since 2005 she has curated both Belgian and international design exhibitions.

 

The next edition is scheduled for 5 October until 25 November 2018. It will take place in prestigious locations across Liege and its province, with the participation of other cities of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. And to make it easier for schools and other educational institutions to visit, theduration of the 2018 event has been significantly extended.

 

Since its first edition in 2012, RECIPROCITY has questioned design and its impact in cultural, economic and social contexts. Its main mission is to provoke, value, and welcome international expressions generated by an open and diversified approach. Here, design is intended as a critical space of research/action; a place for the reflection and production of ethical and sustainable projects.

SPEAKERS

1 / NIK BAERTEN & VIRGINIA TASSINARI (BE) , Pantopicon (BE) – Curators Welcome to_Bavière – EN

Since 2012, Welcome to_ has focused on the search for viable and sustainable solutions through the methodology and practice of co-design. Its discoveries aim to generate projects that lead to citizen awareness and participation, in an effort to improve the quality of life of a community.  For this 2018 edition they focused on the Outremeuse neighbourhood in Liège.

Curators Nik Baerten & Virginia Tassinari, of Pantopicon (BE), a foresight & design studio, collaborated for this project with teachers and students of ESA Saint-Luc and the HEPL of Liège. www.pantopicon.be


2 / JOHN BINGHAM-HALL (UK), Theatrum Mundi – Voi[e,x,s] Chapelle Charbon #1: reflections on site performance  – EN

This presentation will ask how can performed sound and movement, which leave no physical trace in a space, change the public value of a terrain vague, using a short film of a performance created in Paris in collaboration between the opera company Cie MPDA – Alexandra Lacroix, composer Marta Gentilucci, and Theatrum Mundi.

Dr John Bingham-Hall is Director of Theatrum Mundi, a London-based centre that aims to expand the crafts of city–making by stimulating collaboration between artists and urbanists. Through academic research, publishing, and cultural programming his work explores how the public realm of cities is produced through media, culture, and space.

3 / NAWAL BAKOURI (FR)- Commissaire FRAGILITAS – Handle with Care – EN

Curating the exhibition Handle with Care, Nawal Bakouri regards design as a laboratory of objects, spaces, graphics and services, but above all, as an agent by which an experience can be transformed. This part of Fragilitas presents a panorama of devices that shows that design can initiate a new experience of care and of our relationship to care.

Nawal Bakouri (Paris, France), has taught at a number of design schools in France and is as an independent cura-tor and design consultant. She is a founding member and coordinator of Socialdesign Plateform (www.plateforme-socialdesign.net), whose research focuses on social design, design and care, and the exhibition as a social space.

4 / ALISSA REES (NL), designer, Humanising of the White Building – EN

By combining her long experience in hospital with being a current designer, Rees came up with twenty concepts to humanise hospitals. In this presentation she takes you through her personal experiences, that she turned into valuable products for a bigger audience.

Rees is a concept and healthcare designer. Rees was the winner of the Accenture innovation Award 2017 and the innovation- and best overall prize on the Brains Award 2017, with her project ‘IV-Walk’, a portable IV-pole that stimulates mobility in hospitals. She presented her work in cities as Milan, Paris, Amsterdam and Las Vegas. www.alissarees.com

5 / JEAN-PHILIIPPE POSSOZ (BE), Commissaire FRAGILITAS – Precarious
Architecture & Design, curator – 
EN

Design and architecture mix and share their specific fields of knowledge and skills: their way of thinking, anticipating, and intentions to transform the world through micro-acts of creation, as seen in objects and spaces.

Jean-Philippe Possoz (Liège, Belgium) is an architect trained at the ISA St-Luc in Brussels. In 1997, he co-founded the office ARJM Architecture & Urbanism while working as an interim architect at the studio of Pierre Hebbelinck and Alain Richard. In 2002, he attained a professional post-graduate diploma in architecture and sustain-able development, resuming practice in Liège by renewing his collaboration with Alain Richard. In 2007, he joined the Faculty of Architecture/ULiège. He is currently in charge of a design-build workshop based on the economy of means and the social role of the architect.

6 / CYRILLE HANAPPE (FR), architecte Actes & Cités – La Ville Acceuillante

EN – The Welcoming City

Calais, Grande Synthe, Paris. The arrival and the growing numbers of people in cities living in precarious situations (Migrants, Homeless people, social Workers, etc.), raises fundamental questions about ways to live them, to concieve them, to think them. Shanty towns, squats, camps, wasted lands are the components of urban framework, must be recognised as such and either as warts to eradicate. There is an issue of emancipatory recognition of each person within cities.

Cyrille Hanappe, has a PhD in Architecture and is an architect and engineer. He presides the Actes & Cités Association which works for the dignity of the living environment. He is Lecturer at École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris-Belleville and Head of Education for the Specialisation Diploma for Architecture and Major Risks in the same school. He’s also an associated architect for the AIR-Cyrille Hanappe & Olivier Leclercq agency.
www.actesetcites.org  www.air-architecture.com

7 / PAOLO CASCONE (IT), designer, founder CODESIGNLAB – The Miner’s House – FR

During a series of workshops, Paolo Cascone showed how to use composite materials and ceramics as a high-performance technique in the field of design and architecture.  The project is part of a research that the Italian architect has been conducting for 10 years, in which he has examined the relationship between natural materials, local resources, and new digital manufacturing processes.  An installation will feature in Precarious Architecture & Design.  His research intends to propose a different way of approaching the topic of migratory flows that the history of the mines has been generating across Europe and at the same time it aims at contributing to the debate on the consequences of the process of deindustrialisation of these regions.

Paolo Cascone is an architect, teacher and researcher trained at the AA School of London. His work explores a new interdisciplinary approach to ecological architecture, developing a new paradigm between nature and artifice, theory and technique, traditional technologies and digital culture. In 2007, he founded CODESIGNLAB  in Paris, whose projects are frequently published in international architecture journals and exhibited in several European design museums. Cascone currently runs the African Fabbers School (AFS): the first school of urban ecology, self-construction, and digital manufacturing in Africa. www.codesignlab.org

 

8 / LIEVEN DE COUVREUR (BE), Howest -FRAGILITAS – D4E1, Curator -EN
In the exhibition  Design for [every]one, design is a mean of co-evolution, a dynamic approach that builds upon co-creativity and allows objects to be adapted. This takes into account the person, their characteristics, and what they want to create.  Design for [every]one shows design that goes beyond mass and standardised production exists. It presents an ‘open design’ which hacks, adapts, corrects, rethinks and/or redesigns, in order to give to each of us, whatever our backgrounds, the opportunity to do what we would like. 

With an educational background in industrial design engineering that includes a PhD in participatory prototyping, Lieven De Couvreur (Ghent, Belgium) has been instrumental in leading D4E1, a Belgium-based research and education project at Howest Kortrijk – Industrial Design Center – Industrial Product Design. http://designforeveryone.howest.be/

9 / FRANCESCA OSTUZZI (IT/BE), UGent – Open-ended Design. Intentional imperfections to support change – EN

Design is an intentional act that aims at modifying future realities. One of the problems of this complex process of creation is that we often design under the belief that only expected things will happen. In reality, our design outcomes are themselves in a precarious state, being anything but static, predictable or under control. Open-ended Design proposes insights on how, by embracing the unavoidability of imperfections in our outcomes, we might be able to trigger and support more positive change.  


Francesca Ostuzzi
 has a PhD in Industrial Design Engineering Technology and works as doctor assistant in the Industrial Design Engineering curriculum, at Ghent University. Her research interests include sustainability, design, the value of imperfection, open-ended design and the application of such topics and tools into co-generative and open processes.
http://open-ended-design.com  https://ea18.ugent.be/members/34/ 

10 / ANNA BERNAGOZZI (FR)  – Reframing design pedagogy – The New (Learning) Objects, curator – FR

The most crucial issue that design schools will have to face in the years to come is that of offering to future designers the capacity of deeply understanding the society they live in by co-creating the right design tools and objects that will improve tomorrow’s life quality in a sustainable way. We as academia must be capable of nurishing and strengthen their natural holistic approach to society.  As all good designers, they must become keen observers and attentive facilitators and translators of the ‘intelligence of the context’.

Anna Bernagozzi is Professor of design theory and history at the ENSAD – École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris since 2004 where she’s also head of the Master in Object Design. She is also design consultant for different design editors and brands in semiotic, trend, marketing and focus groups case studies for different international agencies and companies, editor and journalist for different design magazines and curator of several exhibitions.

11 / OLIVIERO TOSCANI (IT), creative director, Fabrica – curator Confessions – EN

Confessions is the portrait form that Fabrica asks its team members to use when they tell us about themselves. It is a candid dialogue with the world and with oneself. The ‘confessions’ are the self-portraits of the Fabrica project’s team members: freestyle, taking the form of objects, images, videos, or any other form of expression that demonstrates the team members’ authenticity and attests to their unique vision of themselves.

Fabrica is a communication research centre established in 1994. Situated in Treviso, Italy, it was conceived by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani, creative director.  Today more than ever, Fabrica’s research is a cross-disciplinary practice wherein communication interacts with other vital sectors like social and environmental sciences, food, cin-ema, art, poetry, journalism, design, spirituality, music, politics, economics, neuroscience, psychology and writing, and attests to the changes and trends of modern society.  www.fabrica.it

12 / ANYA SIROTA (US), architect, Akoaki – (In)vulnerabilities – EN

Critical insight into localized sources of economic and social precarity can deliver provocative design tools in the form of contextually calibrated hacks. Working predominantly in vulnerable urban environments, the Detroit-based architectural design studio Akoaki has explored ways to counter perceived fragilities by inverting expectation, tuning aesthetics, building social enterprises, and pirating latent power structures. Through the lens of the Detroit Cultivator Project, the talk will explore emergent techniques for transforming susceptibilities into collective affordances.

Anya Sirota is an architectural designer and principal of Detroit-based experimental studio Akoaki. Her work, synthesizing aesthetics, social enterprise, and cultural programming, explores ways to materialize collective utopian projects in complex urban scenarios. In parallel, she directs the Michigan Architecture Prep Studio and teaches architecture at the University of Michigan. www.akoaki.com

DIALOGUE

Organisation: Wallonie Design

Concept: Frederik Delbart & Quentin de Coster

This conference will highlight the experience of designers as part of a collaborative project with artisans or companies. It will present, in particular, the results of a workshop organised at the Keramis-Ceramics Centre by Dialogue (Frederik Delbart and Quentin de Coster).
In this case, nine Belgian designers were invited to experiment with a material and technique for the first time, working alongside a ceramist.
