CRITERIA






CRITERIA
@ the Averill and Bernard Leviton, A+D Gallery, Chicago
Jan 15- Feb 28, 2009

From designboom:
"The exhibition 'Criteria' explores the ethics and politics that embody contemporary notions of sustainability, through a variety of media that gathers artworks and unconventional design approaches.  It examines the utopia behind efforts to modify and push the capitalist consumption patterns as well as adress the current contradictions between industrial and natural landscapes"

From top:
'IV Pot Plant' by Vitamin, 2008
'Tap'd NY' by Craig Zucker, 2008
'Best before' by Riccochet sudio, 2008 (fine bone china)
'Ikarus' by Aylin Kayser and Christian Metzner (the wax lamp I showed from a few days ago, for which I couldn't find an owner!  It melts when used, encouraging energy efficiency)
