Ordinary things and poetic variations from HSLU Lucern

Two graduate projects from Lucerne University Design and Art are exhibited at Heimtextil. “In the Company of Things“ by Martina Gilgen reflects on ordinary objects we mostly take for granted: We value them most when we mislay them. „La Martyre“ by Andrea Boog are variations on a poem from Baudelaire‘s classic „Les fleurs du mal“ highlighting the sensual and voluptous splendors of decay.

At Lucerne University, both the realisation of textile designs and their presentation reflects the ecological and economic context. Artistic abilities and analysing the needs of potential customers are of equal importance to create harmonious concords between aesthetic values and target markets.

„La Martyre“

Sultry as a hothouse, sumptuously decaying, a bouquet sighs its last into its

Crystal coffin -. Guilty  joys, passion’s mysterious rites, secret splendours glimpsed through heavy folds of voluptuous draperies ensnare the gaze and overwhelm the senses. Did he kiss you once farewell? Rest in peace, your picture is immortal.

Andrea Boog www.andreaboog.ch   AndreaBoog@gmx.ch

 

«Eine Märtyrerin»   (frei nach Baudelaire aus „Les fleurs du mal“)

Lau wie ein Treibhaus und unheilschwanger überall,

letzte Seufzer haucht ein Blumenstrauss in einem Sarge aus Kristall.

Sündhaftes Vergnügen, geheimnisvolle Leidenschaft wird enthüllt.

Erschaffen in verborgener Pracht, üppige Gewänder, unsere Blicke sind gefangen.

Die Sinne sind wund vor Überdruss! Hatte er ihr einen Abschiedskuss gegeben?

Ruhe in Frieden – Dein Bild wird ewig leben.

In the Company of Things

How such ordinary things can gratify us.

Though mostly we take them for granted,

when chance mislays them, and we must find them again,

how they glow delighted in our attention.

Casting their peripheral images on the textile screen brings their companionship to light.

Vom Wesen der Dinge

Alltägliche Gegenstände erleichtern und verschönern so manchen Moment unseres Lebens. Als Mittel zum Zweck gehen sie oft in der Selbstverständlichkeit unter. Doch einmal verlegt und wiedergefunden erfassen sie überraschend unsere Aufmerksamkeit. Auf der textilen Ebene wird das ursprüngliche Erscheinungsbild verfremdet, und die treuen, unscheinbaren Begleiter werden in ein anderes Licht gerückt.

Textildesign setzt ein Interesse für Farbe, Material, Musterung und Technologie voraus.

Entwerfen, Umsetzen und Inszenieren von Textilien geschehen in einem ökologischen und wirtschaftlichen Kontext.

Es ist ebenso wichtig, die Anforderungen der potenziellen Kunden zu kennen,

das gestalterische Können anzuwenden und mit der Zielgruppe in Einklang zu bringen.

Textile Design assumes student interests in colour, material, patterning and technology.

Both the realisation of designs in textiles, and their presentation, take place in an ecological and an economic context.

Artistic abilites and knowledge of the needs of potential customers are of equal importance in creating harmonious concords between aesthetic values and target markets.

Opulence and Power of Ornaments Weißensee Berlin

This work by a graduate of Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin strikes a critical path. With the use of unexpected materials in the tradition of the Islamic ornament, it hopes to bring current and contrary influences together, be they technical or political.

The Islamic ornament has its genesis in image ban, which was enforced almost four centuries after the advent of Islam. Image ban was to deactivate the widespread worship of pagan Gods and their manifestations. So, in order to establish monotheism, any cult which was dedicated to other godhood must have been battled. Instead, the absoluteness of the one God was set, which could not be modified by any kind of earthly manifestations. The most important ritual to pay homage to the one God was the prayer and the place in which it was performed must have been free from any kind of „impurity“. In that sense the images of human beings and animals were considered as „impure“;therefore, were banned from the mosques and public spaces. Whilst the possibilities of figurative representations were blocked, an artistic expression, so much the more creative flowered out, that laid on the mathematical and geometrical knowledge, which was highly developed to that time. To this day ornament is the most predominant form of expression in the Islamic world and coins essentially its culture and self-conception. Especially in mosques, who’s indoor is often entirely coated with ornaments, there is a powerful connection between the cosmologic, absolute notion of god and a compelling optic experience. All elements are parts of an ordered and apparently endlessly expanding system. The obsessive play of repetition and variation makes also each Muslim a part of a major overwhelming arrangement. In that sense, sometimes, it can even create overlaying image planes, when the ordered mass of prayers or pilgrim appears to take the form of an ornament itself.

In this opulence and powerful effect of the Islamic ornament lies its ambivalence. On one hand it is not to be restricted by any symbolism and can create intensive aesthetic experiences by its endless variable and playful form  language. On the other hand it builds an aesthetic of control and power that connects it to a religious-social system, which implies the suggestive visually of ornament as a means of severe discipline.

With this historical background and the impulse of the current ideological overloaded politics of my homeland Iran, this work strikes a critical path. It explores the structures and coherences of the abstract form, but to deconstruct and reassemble it in a way that other aspects of it reveals.

The process of design included developing a geometric grid, which in spite of its chaotic and fragmented look follows a strict repeating structure. Other than that with the use of unexpected materials in the tradition of Islamic ornament, it hopes to bring current and contrary influences together (Technical, Political).

Taking refuge from consumption AKS Schneeberg

Taking refuge from consumption is the theme of the installation presented by 4th year textile design students from Angewandte Kunst Schneeberg, a faculty of the university West Saxony, Germany.

www.fh-zwickau.de/aks

Westerners live in a world dominated by wares and surrounded by waste. We are dazzled by looks and benefits of the goods, and put away thoughts about the environmental and human impact. Our installation uses discarded packaging materials and textile trompe l‘oeil prints. We as designers contribute to the cycle of consumption and waste – is recycling part of a solution?                    

Konzept:  „Das Spiel zwischen Schein und Realität“

Wir leben in einer Welt die vom Überfluss beherrscht wird.

Umgeben von einer Gesellschaft die den Konsum liebt und der Ökonomie genauso wichtig ist, wie die Plastiktüte, die man nach dem Einkauf bei „Lidl“ entsorgt. Alle werden vom Konsumüberfluss beherrscht, doch man nimmt es nicht wahr. Der schöne Schein vermag so stark zu fesseln,   dass die Verantwortung und ökologische Realität in weite Ferne rückt. Nur wenige bewahren ihren kritischen Geist. Designern fällt diesbezüglich eine besondere Rolle zu.

Als Gegenpol zum Überfluss schafft sich jeder Mensch seine ganz eigene Welt, in der die eigene Realität herrscht, diese Welt ist gemütlich, fernab von allem, eine Mauer aus Konsum. Unser Modell eines Strandkorbes greift genau diese Thematik auf. Die Realität des Konsumüberflusses verstrickt und verhäkelt aus den Dingen die die Wahrnehmung als Abfall und immer wiederkehrendes „Nichts“ betrachtet.

Recycelte Hüllen von Konsumgütern schaffen einen Kokon, der auch Einblicke in die kleine heile Welt des Einzelnen zulässt.

Es wurden Verpackungsmaterialien jeglicher Art gesammelt. Den Plastikabfall verarbeiteten wir mit traditionellen Techniken wie Häkeln und Stricken. Die Form des Strandkorbes wird somit verändert, da das Konstrukt der Plastikflächen ein Eigenleben entwickelt. Die verschlungenen Geflechte bilden Raum für zufällige Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, die Form bleibt somit wandelbar.

Das Innenleben des Strandkorbes ist mit einer gedruckten Szenerie ausgestattet. Diese stellt eine heimische Wohnzimmerlandschaft dar. Die Illusion der eigenen kleinen heilen Welt wird aufgegriffen und verschwimmt mit der Realität der Sitzfläche, die wiederum gepolstert und funktional ist. Die Rückenlehne besteht aus einer digital bedruckten Fläche (Color Textil), welche verschiedene häusliche Details wie Stickbild, Risse in der Wand und die Anmutung einer Sofalehne aufweist.

Schlussendlich soll gesagt werden dass das Konzept nicht wertet, es soll lediglich das verdeutlichen, was wir jeden Tag vor Augen geführt bekommen und was wir als Designer mit verantworten.
