26.10.-2.12.
Influenza M exhibition
Opening hours: Thu & Fri, 13.19 hrs/ Sat & Sun 11-19 hrs
Venue: Alfons-Kern-Turm, Theaterstraße 21, 75175 Pforzheim
Famous houses, such as Dior and Lanvin in Paris, keep original haute couture dresses in their archives - refrigerated, in tissue paper. Plus sketches and fabric samples. However, the archives are not accessible to the public - which emphasises the enormous value of these sensitive cultural assets. The students of the renowned Pforzheim Faculty of Design, on the other hand, are showing the entire creative work process in their exhibition "Influenza-M" from 26 October to 2 December 2018. They see a parallel between designers and scientists: both focus on certain topics, dissect samples, research in depth, analyse, compare, test unusual combinations and develop concepts with the help of coincidences and failures. The 'virus mode' is born!
