A progressive bundle of practice-based positions!
22 October–30 October 2011
Bleekstraat 23
5611VB Eindhoven
The Netherlands
From within and around its project space, Onomatopee presents series of projects that pose questions about the future of our designed culture. Onomatopee reaches out with sensually stimulating projects—literally and figuratively. This programme manifests itself as an alternative festival within the realm of Dutch Design Week; unique in that Onomatopee challenges an audience of both professionals in the field and the general public, to experience their perceptions at a fundamental level and to question their position in relation to designed culture.
Thanks to the many individuals and organisations collaborating with Onomatopee, there are a huge number of projects in the pipeline for 2011. Each project’s thematic framework, which catalyzes both products and processes, conspicuously counters the logic of the market using progressive perspectives and materializations—all stemming from personal involvement and an urge to foster socially sustainable public interest. Engagement to shape up the world!
