Czy projektowanie zorientowane na fizyczny produkt ma sens w coraz bardziej cyfrowym świecie? Co jest ważne w takim procesie i czy naprawdę cały nieustająco potrzebujemy nowych rzeczy? Dlaczego ludzi przyciągają eksperymenty oraz jaką funkcję pełni myślenie eksperymentalne w projektowaniu? Czy praca na uczelni zwalnia z konieczności myślenia o praktycznym zastosowaniu produktu? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowie gość webinaru - Bartosz Mucha, kierownik specjalności Domestic Design w School of Form Uniwersytetu SWPS. Wspólnie z prowadzącą spotkane - Agatą Bisping, podejmą także dyskusję związaną z tym, po co twórcom obcowanie z naturą. W cyklu rozmów „Mistrzowie” Strefy Designu Uniwersytetu SWPS wraz z praktykami ze świata designu rozmawiamy o tym, jak wygląda ich codzienna praca związana z różnymi aspektami kreatywnego projektowania. Strefa Designu Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt popularyzujący wiedzę z zakresu projektowania: produktów, architektury, wnętrz, mody i komunikacji. Pokazuje, czym jest dobre projektowanie i w jaki sposób realizuje ono konkretne potrzeby użytkowników. Więcej informacji o projekcie: design.swps.pl Interesujesz się designem?

Jak projektować, przy okazji szanując zasoby naturalne? Tworzyć nie na chwilę, a na lata? Podczas spotkania online z dr Karolem Murlakiem z School of Form porozmawialiśmy o wyzwaniach, jakie stoją przed projektantami w związku z kurczącymi się zasobami surowców i materiałów. Zamiast uganiać się za nowinkami technologicznymi coraz chętniej wracamy do tego, co daje natura. Z tego powodu nieustannie wzrasta zapotrzebowanie na surowce, takie jak drewno. Na ziemi jest jednak coraz mniej lasów i innych zasobów naturalnych, dlatego naszym zadaniem powinno być szukanie wydajniejszych metod wykorzystywania odziedziczonych po przodkach bogactw.

ASC seminar by Edith Ojo (Brighton based arts freelancer) & Nicola Stylianou (MoDa, Middlesex University) The Fashioning Africa project at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery (2015-2018) aimed to develop a new collection of African dress from 1960-2007. This was an area where existing British museum collections were weak to the point of virtual non-existence. The project was innovative in other ways too, because, as a collaboration between the Museum’s World Art (formerly ‘Ethnography’, later ‘Non-Western’) and Fashion & Textiles sections, it cross-cut conventional curatorial divisions and allowed the Museum to transcend the problem of reproducing the split between ‘African dress’ and ‘Western fashion’. Moreover, it aimed to explore new ways of collecting by devolving decisions over what to acquire to an external panel, thus aspiring to look beyond expertise in the field of museology to co-produce the new collection with diverse interested parties bringing other forms of knowledge to bear. This paper will address why African dress hasn’t been systematically collected in the post- independence period and explore the methodology of co-production. Edith Ojo is an Arts Consultant based in Brighton who has always worked closely with diverse artists and art organisations across the region. She also currently sits on the Fashioning Africa Collection Panel, Brighton Museum. Prior to becoming a freelance consultant, Edith worked at Arts Council England for several years as Diversity in Arts Relationship Manager. She holds an MA in African Studies (SOAS), and a BA in Fine Art (Chelsea College of Art & Design). She is also currently a Trustee at a local Brighton Community organisation, Trust for Developing Communities. Nicola Stylianou was awarded a PhD in 2013 for her thesis ‘Producing and Collecting for Empire: African textiles at the V&A 1852-2002.’ She went on to work at the V&A on a two-room display about the African objects in the V&A collection. She currently works at the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture, Middlesex University. In January she takes up a position at the University of Sussex to work as a post-doctoral researcher on Making African Connections in Sussex and Kent Museums: De-colonial futures for colonial collections. She is a participant in the Fashioning Africa Collection Panel at Brighton Museum, a project to acquire African fashion and textiles from 1960-2000.

This boo was recorded at The Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture, and features the voices of Felicity Ford (sound artist) and Emma Shaw (preventative conservation officer) discussing some conservation work involving the flattening of 2 different types of wallpaper for an upcoming exhibition, entitled Sonic Wallpaper. Some sections of wallpaper in the MoDA collection are still in rolls and need to be flattened. These include a design which features stone arches in a kind of faux architecture pattern, and a flocked paper. In the boo you hear Emma Shaw discussing how glass, blotting paper and time are used to flatten the flocked paper, and how a dahlia spray will be used to flatten the other sample. The sounds in the recording I have published here are of myself and Emma discussing the conservation work; of the hum of the air-conditioning in the conservation room; and of the materials involved in preserving the wallpaper. I like the recording for its quiet sense of industry, and for the way it evidences materials and tools and the preservation of the past.
