Migrating Landscapes [canadas venice biennale entry] @ the MOV
“Increasingly, contemporary design is produced within a context that is globally, rather than regionally, situated. The work of emerging designers is influenced by glossy and well-presented images that blur design context and authenticity. Within this framework we ask: how might specific cultural memory be captured and rendered, informing the ways we generate design? How do divergent perspectives come together and thereby create new contextual landscapes? Can the juxtaposition of personal vernacular memories and questions of context and content provide insight into contemporary architectural production? Migrating Landscapes asks that Canadian designers from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique ethnic and cultural memories, respond to these questions.”
