Anonymous Solutions to Fundamental Problems. Groups of objects have been chosen to illustrate a range of fundamental human activities
Anonymous Solutions to Fundamental Problems. Groups of objects have been chosen to illustrate a range of fundamental human activities: Hit, Cut, Grip, Hold, Shield, Rub, Spread, Mould and Test. The curators hope that the dynamic mixture of shapes serving these common functions will inspire curiosity and wonder that is ultimately educative. The objects illuminate and resonate with many of the themes of this and previous Biennales - art, design, technology, anthropology and the vernacular. David Usborne, a former teacher of design, has over the last 30 years formed an extraordinary collection of anonymous objects chosen for their elegant shape and puzzling function. Curated by David Usborne, James Putnam e Lauren Jones. Private view: 4th june 6-9 p.m.
