Making, Living & Thinking Together
About
BASE+1 brings together Brussels-based collective Espace Aygo and curator Jan Boelen for a conversation about design as a living practice.
What happens when making, living, and thinking are no longer treated as separate activities? What can design become when it starts from materials, places, communities, and the realities of everyday life?
Through this encounter, Espace Aygo and Jan Boelen will share their perspectives on the relationships between objects, spaces, uses, and ways of living, and on how design can contribute to imagining new ways of living together.
Espace Aygo
Espace Aygo is a Brussels-based collective of artists and designers working across design, architecture, art, and everyday life. Their collaborative practice explores how objects and spaces can contribute to new ways of living together, with community, exchange, and experimentation at its core.
Jan Boelen
Jan Boelen is a curator working across design, architecture, and contemporary art. He is the founding artistic director of Z33 and Atelier LUMA. He currently directs the programme of the Aral School in Uzbekistan. Through his projects and exhibitions, Boelen encourages audiences to look at everyday objects differently and reconsider how design shapes the way we live and think.
