Curated by netherlands-born, paris-based trend forecaster lidewij edelkoort for the museum of the image (MOTI) in the netherlands, the exhibition ‘the pop-up generation: design between dimensions’ investigates the ways two and three -dimensional forms are collapsed and conflated in contemporary culture.
’young generations born with and behind the screen live in a shadow area, a no man’s land between the second and third dimension that they wish to connect,’ explains edelkoort. ‘this ‘pop-up generation’ moves easily from 2D to 3D and back again as if they do not even notice that there is a difference. the brain is trained to see volume in a flat sketch and to discover a structure behind the volume found in an architectonic drawing.’
the global need for fuel and resource efficiency has made pop-up design a popular topic in architecture and product manufacturing, from portable storefronts to flat-packed furniture. at the same time, the omnipresence of the screen predominant in modern society has changed our perceptions of normality in terms of viewing and interacting with objects in multiple dimensions.
the MOTI exhibition presents sculptures, video, installations, textiles, lights, and performances by over twenty designers from around the world, all of which ‘make transience and the immaterial visible’, reflecting the physical reality and concept of pop-up.
