Eerste editie Fotofestival Eindhoven: 23 fotografen tonen het thema 'Joy of Missing Out'. Don't miss it.

De afgelopen 18 maanden hebben veel fotografen en andere creatieve makers zekerheid en inkomen gemist. Liefhebbers van kunst en cultuur misten de evenementen. En in onze maatschappij was van alles mis. Tegelijkertijd ontstond er tijd en ruimte, nieuwe inspiratie en focus. Wat het opleverde, tonen de fotografen en beeldenmakers tijdens Fotofestival Eindhoven. Urgenter dan De Vooravond, stimulerender dan Easy Toys en lekkerder dan Heel Holland Bakt.

De eerste editie van de Eindhoven Global Goals Jam gaf organisaties de kans om na te denken over manieren om diensten en producten op een duurzame en impactvolle manier te leveren. Nu we nieuwe concepten en ideeën hebben, hoe gaan we verder?Met dit evenement willen we de vaart erin houden. We nodigen de organisaties en mensen die hebben deelgenomen aan het vorige evenement - maar ook nieuwe organisaties, experts, ambtenaren, creatievelingen die mogelijk geïnteresseerd zijn in deelname aan toekomstige edities - uit om deel te nemen aan deze Q&A om de vraag te beantwoorden: wat moeten doen om duurzame innovatie vooruit te pushen?

Op zondag 19 juli, van 12.00u tot 17.00u, wordt de allereerste editie van Atelier-Sale op het creatieve terrein Sectie-C georganiseerd.

Op het voormalige Stork-Nolte terrein zijn meer dan 250 grote en kleine ondernemers gevestigd. Een groot deel daarvan houdt zich bezig met design of cultuur, zoals ontwerpers, ambachtelijke producenten, fotografen, theatermakers en veel ondersteunende bedrijven.

Om je kennis te laten maken met Sectie-C organiseren de huurders op zondag 19 juli gezamenlijk de eerste versie van de Atelier-Sale. Op het buitenterrein laten zij zien wat zij doen, wat ze produceren of waar ze voor staan. In de buitenlucht kun je kennis maken met alle creativiteit, design, vakmanschap en innovatie die het terrein rijk is. Er zijn demonstraties, er worden ‘misbaksels’ verkocht, maar ook designproducten, restanten van materialen, oud gereedschap en je kunt genieten van een kop koffie, een goed glas wijn of een vers gemaakte maaltijd of klein hapje bij een van de food-makers van Sectie-C.

Toegang is gratis.

Tuurlijk (Martijn van der Ven) + Eliska Slovakova + Mizdruk + Maarten Coolen + Verse Beeldwaren - Time for a change, discovering vintage Enicar

In 1913, Swiss watch brand Enicar was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It would become one of the first watch manufacturers to export watches to China in the 1950’s. With factories in Lengnau and Oensingen, the business of founder Ariste Racine made impact with high quality time pieces. Enicar sold over 800.000 wrist watches per year in more than 90 countries worldwide. And then the ‘quartz crisis’ hit. In 1987, Enicar ended. Martijn van der Ven is a long-time admirer of Enicar and its heritage. In 2018, he decided to create a book about the lost brand. He went to Switzerland to do research and interview former employees. He even traced down the grandson of Ariste Racine, now 76 years old. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, Martijn was able to carry on his passion project.The book will be a combination of storytelling, interviews, design, antique advertising, watch brand history and photography. For the photography, Martijn and his team ‘recreated’ set pieces from 1979, 1971, 1968, 1944 and even 1918. These stories of magical realism, combined with poetic writing, and the first previews of the upcoming book will be presented during DDW. www.enicar.org/ www.tuurlijk.net

(Note: this performance will be in Dutch.) Tussen de aarde en het puin zien we het lichaam van een man. In ‘Melk en Honing’ voltrekt zich de droom van een man. Een laatste aarzeling, een eerste moment van besluitvaardigheid en de poging om opnieuw te beginnen. Met zijn voeten, die modder en zout water hebben getrotseerd, zet hij zijn eerste stappen op het warme asfalt. Vanaf dit moment kan hij het succes van de stad ruiken in een parfum van roet en fijnstof. Een wereld vol belofte. Deze zeecontainervoorstelling van Afslag Eindhoven duurt 15 minuten en speelt meerdere keren per dag. Kijk voor data en tijden op www.afslageindhoven.nl of bij de zeecontainer zelf.

Based on work processes that arise in the production of the PoD collection that they realize in the workshop. Based on 1 basic form apply surface treatment to stainless steel by heating, a diverse color pattern arises. The color depends on the heat other surface methods - polishing - sanding - blasting - heating - sheet - patinate. The same basic shape bending so that there is a product arises. Examples are available but there is certainly room for the student to experiment. By using multiple basic forms other (larger) products arise. this by bend together, bend around. // Dates & time: on request, send an email to dag@studiodag.nl // Tickets: Basic price of the course is €15,- per person. - material costs: €7,50 per basic form. 

During this workshop photographer Maarten Coolen will make a professional portrait of you and Wessel Dragt will teach you the basics of handwriting and composition. With your portrait and a beautifully written text you will work on a beautiful composition. Then you will make your own blueprint and go home with a unique work of art. // Dates & time: Saturday 19/10 14:00h - 16:30h - Sunday 20/10 14:00h - 16:30h - Saturday 26/10 14:00h - 16:30h - Sunday 27/10 14:00h - 16:30h // Tickets: €50,- // [url=https://www.maartencoolen.nl/agenda/laboratorio-negativo-positivo/]Book your workshop now![/url]

The project 'A Plant In The Wrong Place' questions our perception of what is right and what is wrong. It is an ode to the small and humble in the urban landscape by giving unwanted plants a vessel to value their beauty. 

The city is a fascinating playground for observation. It is a place where nature collides with man-made structures. Narrow gaps of pavements or traffic islands form fertile interspaces, which are secretly being occupied by weeds and wild flowers. These plants are mostly unwanted in human-controlled settings and therefore in the "wrong place". 

The project is a collaboration of Rene Siebum & Tina Stieger.
 

There will be several new works and prototypes on display next to experimental works made with materials from the carpet company Tarkett / Desso and the lighting company Lumenso.

Last year Future More Collective hosted their debut exposition at Pullman Hotel Eindhoven. Showcasing their view on "future mythologies". This year Future More Collective teamed op with Lumus Instruments. Together they present a diversity of perspectives towards the interaction and value of light. 
ON/OFF is an interactive experience showcasing the spectator a contemporary view on the utility and perception of light. A rich and diverse scene of light-objects and space where simultaneous interaction is created.

Impressive improvisations from an orchestra whose work is based on your identity and the natural environment. The chirpers combine their sounds with percussive rhythms. The exceptional acoustics of Sectie-C also play a major role, combining to conjure up an unforgettable, magical experience.
The 1st Little Spotted Woodpecker, the Pigeon, the Green Woodpecker, the Moorhen, the Middle Spotted Woodpecker, the Cuckoo, the Black-billed Cuckoo, the 2nd Little Spotted Woodpecker, the Woodcock, the Owl, the Nightingale, the Black Woodpecker, the House Sparrow and the Curlew: differently feathered orchestra members work together to deliver the highest quality of improvisations and to achieve more than perfectly played notes. Bring your identification card with you, listen and enjoy!

Porcelain is a very strong and beautiful material that's perfectly suited for other purposes then only tableware. Studio Harm and Elke shows that in their new products. Visit Studio Harm and Elke for their new collection. 
But also the doors of the big ceramic studio are open for a visit. You can see (and experience!) how all the products are handmade in Eindhoven. Experience it yourself? Follow a workshop in the ceramic studio during the Dutch Design Week.

LUM is an archaic sound which connects us to the earth and names Daniel Costa's first line of rugs, which is rooted in the Himalayas, the ground where yak, sheep and goat graze and over hundreds of years have adopted to whipping weathers. Where the mountains set the tone to life, survival, mythology and craft.The collection is realized in collaboration with van Caster and is connected to the local spinners and weavers, as well as it is interwoven with yak farmers, who live in very remote areas high up in the Himalayas. LUM is the beginning of a long-term research project into sometimes rare or forgotten, sometimes daily and astonishing basic, or in reverse very intricate techniques of fibre-processing and rug crafting. The fibre is the beginning and expression of all textile quality, it defines the lifetime of a rug, the way it lasts and ages. Therefor Daniel chooses to work with yak fibre, which has been used by nomads to make clothes, rugs and tends, it is strong, has a primordial tune, a reassuring hand and a gentle shine. Daniel uses Tibetan sheep wool, which is characterized by its long and durable nature, nettle, a fibre with innate strength and silent beauty and goat hair, which is another mythological fibre, said to protect from evil, it is antibacterial, archaic, and lasting. LUM is the humming of a love-song to hand and fibre, matter and people, animals, plants and the fertile soil. An ode to the hand and the hand-me-down. The project is documented together with Juliette Chrétien.

The downsides of tourism are becoming more visible, but at the same time tourist spots generate a fascinating culture of their own. With the Tourist-Site-Seeing project Florian de Visser looks at places of mass tourism as a cultural tourist, and translates them into large-scale conversation objects.

Earlier this year Florian organised ‘guided tours’ and talked about observations in Barcelona, Prague, Venice, Genoa and Tokyo. During the DDW he elaborates on one observation with The Hidden Gem Shop.

At places of mass tourism we look desperately for unique experiences, with as few other tourists as possible. In the streets tourist guides present themselves as real local experts and we Googles en masse for "hidden gems" and "off the beaten track". In the end we all end up in the same places. In the Hidden Gem Shop you can buy 100% unique experiences for just one euro.

In addition to the Hidden Gem Shop at Sectie-C, Florian will also design a Tourist-Site-Seeing hotel room at Hotel Insomnia / De Fabriek.

Explore how fruits and vegetables are adjusted and could be made to feed the growing world population. Seven animations and one book give you insight in the hidden world of crop development, the complexity of our food system and makes you understand why the European food policies needs to change.

Biotechnology and biodiversity are abstract words that come to live talking about food security and urban development. To ensure food security, not just in Europe but mostly in developing countries, innovative techniques are necessary to develop edible plant or adjust existing plants to the fast changing weather conditions. These techniques exist, but they are still subject to strict legislation in Europe due to the complexity and variety of these genetic techniques. The usability of these techniques is thereby practically excluded. The Gene Machine (2017) showcases the variety and the book Genetic Modification & Sustainable Agriculture gives insight in the complexity and the context of these new techniques within the food system. From Cabbage to Super-cow (2019, NEMO), emphasizes on how these techniques work and shows the differences and comparisons. Seven additional animations make these different techniques tangible and accessible.

This year Agri Meets Design has relocated from the Ketelhuisplein to Sectie-C. At this creative hub we present STUDIO Agri Meets Design: a place where designers, famers, policymakers, businesses and people of the Dutch Design Week come together. Since 2012 Agri Meets Design has brought the Dutch Agrofood and creative industry together with the ambition to create a future proof food system. In STUDIO Agri Meets Design we look back at seven years of best practices and accumulated knowledge. Which design principles work best for certain phases or types of change? In this week (together with enthusiastic stakeholders) we want to develop the future foundation of Agri Meets Design. For instance, how can designers contribute to a new circular agricultural food system in the Netherlands? In different workshops we embark on exciting new projects and collaborations together. Are you a designer, farmer, policymaker or food professional that wants to join us on this adventure? Stop by at the STUDIO!

Stilled Life captures the beauty of a fleeting moment for all senses to absorb. Our eyes are free to wonder while the mind takes a pause. Our feet remind us of our sense of touch while we walk on water. 

In an ethereal landscape of spatial installations and objects, Rive Roshan explores the calming qualities of light and reflection, hoping that visitors will fully immerse themselves in this mindful experience.

The studio will present new work including a collaboration with Moooi Carpets, 3D printed sand objects and new collectible glass pieces in a curated themed installation.

Wikkelhouse is what you get when an everyday material finds a groundbreaking purpose. Using cardboard as its main building material, Wikkelhouse is a cutting-edge sustainable house with exceptional constructive strength, made up of 1.2 meter deep segments that can easily be (dis)connected.

Looking for a contemporary office or holiday home? Temporary housing or a fair stand? Wikkelhouse can be whatever you want it to be. The basic construction of the house is made up of 1.2 meter deep segments that can easily be connected and disconnected. The core of Wikkelhouse is top-quality cardboard, wrapped around a unique patented house-shaped mould. Multiple layers of cardboard are bonded together with eco-friendly glue. To protect the material, the cardboard is waterproofed using breathable foil and finished with wooden cladding boards. The result is an incredibly robust sandwich structure with optimal insulation qualities. With a weight of only 500kg per segment, Wikkelhouse doesn't need a foundation and can be placed anywhere. Each house can be extended with a smart ‘Home’-segment including a kitchen, shower and bathroom. It can hold glass of closed facades. Since Wikkelhouse is sustainably produced and made of materials that have minimal impact on the environment, it is 3x more eco-friendly than traditional housing. Moreover, the segments can be reused over and over again and are 100% recyclabe.

WE FEEL FINE, or better said we want to feel fine and we want to be fine with the fact that despite everything we can feel miserable. 
Anne Ligtenberg and Mats Horbach show how they use design to make the world a bit more human. 
And you feel that.
WE FEEL FINE, or better said we want to feel fine. We want to live in a nice surrounding. We want to feel heard and understood. We want do things that make us feel good. We want to be fine with the fact that despite everything we can feel miserable. 

Anne Ligtenberg and Mats Horbach show with WE FEEL FINE how they use design to make the world a bit more human. The products that we use, the spaces that we live in, the systems that we are a part of or the information that we take in need to be designed with care and attention. Because you will feel that.

During this Dutch Design Week Niels Hoebers Stop Motion Studio will launch Slow Stories and a first series of it's story frames.

Slow Stories are subtle stop motion animated scenes that explores the boundaries of film and art and what is still narrative. Performed in 5 new pieces. In contrast to our daily online video consumption full of hyperactive eye candy, Slow Stories will give the viewer back peace and tranquility and creates space for your own interpretation & imagination. 

The PH:X exhibition shows a unique overview of highlights from the collection of Paul Heijnen Studio, made during the past decade.
Collectors, museums and institutes made it possible to bring together a number of limited editions and one-offs in the heart of Sectie-C, where Paul Heijnen started his studio ten years ago. This collection shows the evolution of Paul's work and connects what has been to what is yet to come.

Tijdens de workshop leer je je eigen lichtgevoelige papier maken, om daarop vervolgens met behulp van een UV-lichtbron je eigen foto af te drukken.

Throughout history, art and religion have been intimately intertwined. Most splendid works were created to celebrate the glory of God. These days, believers are increasingly hard to find and churches remain empty. Places of worship are being turned into venues for the more mundane of human pursuit.
With Crossing Off The Cross, Victor Sonna explores this process of desecration, converting unwanted religious objects such as crucifixes and candelabras into a series of 12 everyday objects including a seat, vase and ladder. In a supreme act of re-creation, Sonna destroys the original, using the brass fragments to craft an entirely new whole and function. Traces of the holy remain, but assume a different meaning in this altered, earthly context.

Graphic Machinery is an ongoing experiment by Antigoon in creating artworks with DIY computer controlled drawing machines. Four machines producing large and small scale artworks during the Dutch Design Week.
It's an exploration in freedom and restrictions that comes with building your own machines. Creating artworks with conventional tools for humans but unconventional tools for machines. Celebrating imperfections through the use of these tools. A collaboration between analog & digital and between human & machine.

The constant changeovers and performance-like curating of the graduation work presented – walled by all projects on view in storage – expresses how these young design talents are still in the early stage of constructing their careers, after having carefully shaped their creative personalities.
We all know this: Something is never completely finished. There is always room for improvement. You want to move forward. You want to keep growing. 

Plans and projects are in the pipeline. Your website is getting there. Your portfolio is expanding. Your career is under construction. Your company is under construction. Your ambitions are under construction. 

And yes, this exhibition is also UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 

Get up close and personal and see how young, freshly graduated design talents search, slide and spin with their graduation work, the first foundations of their professional career as a designer.

YA Present! UNDER CONSTRUCTION is a dynamic, living exhibition that showcases the graduation work of this year’s class of design graduates.

Also check the YA Present! EVENING SESSIONS, an inspiring series of events developed by the design graduates themselves, and including the launch party of the YA Special! graduation issue of Dude, Dutch Designers Magazine.

A working space filled with stories, models, prototype, products and objects. In this organized chaos Job van den Berg will present projects from the past years. Experience the tension between job’s designs and the space where it all is created.

Job van den Berg is a furniture and product designer with a fascination for materials and industrial manufacturing processes. With his design studio he researches and develops innovative production processes, materials and applications in collaboration with various manufacturers. This results in products that are positioned at the interface between industry and art.
