Design Exploration and Experimentation: Matter Exhibition

Matter presents the results of the Design Exploration and Experimentation course. Projects from the students are in a broad range of creative disciplines everything from ceramics, interactive sculpture to food design.

Matter presents the results of the Design Exploration and Experimentation course. Students were asked to approach the meaning of the word matter. The first part of the course was an inspirational week in the Museum Estate of Hevossilta and in Nuutajärvi glass village, where a group of 10 students collaborated with professional glassblowers from Lasikomppania. This experimental workshop challenged the students to invent and test their own tools while experiencing hot glass work.

Students kept a working diary as a personal documentation method and as a way to introduce their thinking and working process to other students and tutors. In the final works, the theme matter appears as the actual physical concept of matter and also on the psychological level of ¨what matters¨. Projects from the students are in a broad range of creative disciplines everything from ceramics, interactive sculpture to food design.

The final work of the course is exhibited in Atski Gallery (Hämeentie 135 C, 8th floor) from 18th to 28th of April 2017. The opening event will take place on the 12th of April from 6 - 8pm.
