In the wake of the Europe-wide MADE IN project, the Kunstgewerbemuseum brought together the textile designer Cécile Feilchenfeld and traditional Saxon businesses. We captured the process on film, through which she developed headdresses referencing Christmas trees from the Erzgebirge, silk flowers from Arnsdorf and porcelain from Meissen. They are currently on display at the Future Legacies exhibition at the Center ROG & MAO Slovenia in Ljubljana and will be available to see in Schneeberg starting in October.
Food culture is not only reflected in the cutlery we use to convey food to our mouths, but also in the rooms we prepare it in. However, it is only in the course of the last century that the kitchen has become an integral part of our living spaces. As a design object, it has not only shaped our idea of the value of food and cooking, while at the same time it bears witness to different stages and different systems in which this cultural ascent has been negotiated. Agata Szydłowska on the emancipation of the kitchen.
What declares itself to be nonsense declares itself to be harmless. Supposedly. Because the consequence of such self-determination is the famous jester's license, which a group of theater people in the GDR also claimed for themselves in the 1980s when they called themselves “Zinnober” and began making Punch and Judy shows for adults. Their play “Die Jäger des verlorenen Verstandes” (Raiders of the Lost Mind) can easily be read by the audience as a mockery of the GDR state system and its toleration is hard to believe in retrospect - but true.
