Silber-Sommer-Galerie 2013: „Zu Tisch“
Tableware – Contemporary positions

For several years I have been organizing various art initiatives under the name „Silber-Sommer-Galerie“ with the goal to advance a better understanding of contemporary tableware, promote the development of dining culture and last but not least create a podium for young designers and their innovative pieces. Students of renowned schools are invited to participate.

I am happy to present my the exhibit „Zu Tisch“,, kindly supported by GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH, in Hall B1 Handwerk & Design.

The table, as an image of community, has become an important place for communication, calm and togetherness. Special utensils are used at this “place”, which are at once tools and symbols. Through their presented works, the young designers question everyday gestures and make the rituals and habits around the table something we can see and experience. In this way they create innovative objects, which mirror the unique identity of their users.

The exhibit „Zu Tisch“ – „dinner is served“ will be accompanied on Sunday, March 10., 2013 by the Business Forum “Unikat und Serie” 

Activities

Business Forum: „Unikat und Serie“- „One-of- a-kind objects and mass products“

The desire for objects that express one’s own unique identity is increasingly felt in our society. Design and art objects have become important status symbols.
In four lectures we will ask ourselves how an object reaches its owner. What is the difference between a one-of-a-kind object and a mass-product? Which objects are suitable for mass-production and which objects live from their properties of uniqueness? How do possible collaborations form? These and many other themes will be discussed in the four lectures at the business forum.
