The Top Domestic things

An exhibition with the aim of showing new concepts in domestic products based on resourceful use of materials, found objects and digital data. The exhibition, conceived and curated by Hans Stofer, aimed to be interactive, international and collaborative. Domestic Thingsbrought together eight makers who made work specially in order to question the purpose of objects, social relations and the dialogue between individualistic and mass production. Stofer's curatorial research focused on critical and interdisciplinary thinking in design as well as a commitment to the handmade object, and also on strategies of display which fully engaged the audience in thinking about the literal and metaphorical 'place' of things in domestic life.
