MADE IN KOREA
April 16 - May 31, 2009 | Hannover, Germany
"The design exhibition "The Art of Shopping: Design for Korea’s Corporations" within "MADE IN KOREA" devotes itself to the question as to what role design can play in an economic crisis. The exhibiting designers present products which have been developed with regard to the special spatial situation in the former SinnLeffers department store. The themes are, on the one hand, the habits and prejudices which dominate the unconscious during shopping and, on the other hand, the fascinating character of shopping. Moreover, the intention is to indicate the non-materialistic relationship between products and consumers. The nine different designer groups endeavor to reinterpret the meaning of "design"; in so doing, they draw support in common, even if in different ways, from a series of connections between product, consumption and sales."
