Newsletter for Superuse Studios projects, lectures and exhibitions.

Hello <<First Name>>, we are happy to send you this update on a selection of current activities. We are unveiling Parici at Object Rotterdam, the first product by the Superuse Design Lab that will be sold commercially to everyone who wants one. In 2013 we will launch more products like this, made from materials that lost their original purpose. We are working together with ZERI to help the Blue Economy in The Netherlands and we are finishing a new website, harvestmap.nl, where people can exchange materials.

regarding representation it will last for years, although they are normally burned. With two simple modifications the square boards are cut and folded in such a way that several lamps can be made. The same parts can become a closed or open pendant lamp, wall mounted lamp and ceiling mounted lamp. This depends on how the material is combined. The beautiful colours of the photographs and the posh details of perfume bottles can add a warm and elegant atmosphere to your home.

28-12 Object Rotterdam The exhibition on Louis Kahn has been transformed to Super Kahn to function as a design exhibition. All facilities are build using CILLY, our furniture line of redundant PVC. At the entrance it is the ticket office, in the main space a bar, a reading table, a collection of flyers and several exhibition elements. The white separation walls of the Kahn exhibition have been repainted with grey surfaces on the on the spots that have been damaged or where the white colour faded.

This way less paint is used than by repainting all exhibition walls to the white colour it used to have.

This way of dealing with exhibition design is fit for a time of lower budgets and growing resource scarcity. It is very bold of the NAi to reuse an old exhibition design in this way. We are convinced that transformation of the former design is necessary to make it work. Not for our ego or to leave our scent, but to make a statement. We show that this is not a decision forced by need, but something that can enhance the new exhibition.

It would be interesting to keep this process going and develop Super Kahn into something else for the next exhibition. This could be a new strategy for exhibition design, implemented during times of crisis to show the surplus value of the same 'crisis'.
