ARTISSIMA VOLUME

This year sees the birth of Artissima Volume, an entire section devoted to music curated by Nero Magazine. The venues play a decisive role: each context has been chosen on the basis of musical and acoustic needs but also on logistic, historical and social grounds.
Artissima Volume’s program will take place during three days and in three different locations. For Artissima’s opening, on Thursday 8th, an outstanding artist, Merzbow, one of the greatest exponents of worldwide noise will exhibit in a live set especially conceived for the impressive ramp of Lingotto building. Valerio Tricoli will perform before the concert.

Friday 9th Circolo Esperia will host a special “solo night” with performances by Andrea Belfi, Laura Gibson and V/Vm. Will follow the exclusive dj set of Christian Zingales.

On Saturday 10th as part of contemporary arts night there will be a special evening concert starring Sunny Day Sets Fire and the band Mathew Sawyer & The Ghosts, exhibiting in the historical building Palazzo Madama.

Design Tide in Tokyo 2007

leave a comment

2007_designtide2007.jpg

With Tokyo once again in the grips of Autumn, it is time for the third Design Tide Exhibition, which this year has its main site in the auditorium next to the National Stadium. This historic complex was constructed for the 1964 Olympics and now 40 years on it will play host to a jamboree of design. The exhibition will show work from the fields of interior, products, graphics, fashion and art.

chigo_500.jpg

The basic theme for this year’s DesignTide is going to be “PLAY.” Like for Dainippon Type Organization experimental typography performers who disarticulate or combine Japanese characters and alphabets into unique new typography.

Furthermore serious play is not a paradox when it comes to design. “PLAY”is what gives birth to transformations that transcend the imagination, and heartful encounters with new acquaintances. DesignTide will be there, with a field of design that makes spectators want to come out and be “PLAY”ers.

Date : 31th October (wed) -4th November (sun), 2007
Area : Aoyama,Harajuku,Shibuya,Roppongi ,Marunouchi , Tokyo

Main Site: 10-2, Kasumigaoka-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Within Kokuritsu-Kyogijyo [National Staduim], closest entry is Yoyogi Gate.
OPEN 10:00 CLOSE 20:00 (11.04- CLOSE 17:00)
Entrance fee: 1,000 yen (one ticket for all 5 days).

Moritz Waldemeyer Pong Table is a dining table design that celebrates the early innovators in the field of personal computers and computer games. The table is made of corian and it has thousands of LEDs integrated in the table surface. Activated by two track pads it recreates the classic “Pong” game. When the game is not in use, none of the technology is visible just leaving the clean minimalist lines of the dining table.
