Art and Climate vol. 6 - Design

lecture
We invite you to the next full-length meeting of the Culture for Future platform, where artists present their projects thematically related to the climate crisis. This time the theme will be design.

This time, designer Adam Kvaček, Eduard Herrmann from the Nami nami studio, sculptor, designer and musician Michal Címala, Lukáš Bejček and Svetlana Devyatkina from the kolemhlíny project will present their work and their projects. The evening will be guided by Tereza Bonaventurová.

Adam Kvaček
is an object maker, spatial designer and researcher. He focuses on research-based design that emphasizes context. Through his work he explores and communicates environmental, social and geopolitical aspects. To do so, he uses media such as installations, workshops, or objects/products.

Eduard Herrmann
is a product designer who, together with architect Klara Koldová, forms the studio Nami nami. They founded the studio with the goal of breaking out of the boxes of their respective fields and doing what makes sense. They use local sustainable resources and a low-tech approach in their furniture and lighting collections. They design and produce utilitarian objects themselves, tackling interiors and spatial inventions.

Kolemhlíny
is an interdisciplinary creative platform focused on clay materials, their processing, research and education. It specializes in designing and implementing projects that combine local resources and traditional techniques in a contemporary way. It works with public and private entities across all phases - from consultation to implementation, with respect for the material.It develops experimental mixtures and explores different aspects of earthen construction in collaboration with research institutions and tries to apply them in practice.The platform aims to disseminate knowledge and popularise clay materials through lectures, workshops, conferences and realised objects and buildings.The project is led by designer Matěj Janský, architect Svetlana Devyatkina and engineer Lukáš Bejček.

Michal Címala
is a sculptor, painter and designer.He also creates fully functional musical instruments on the border between design and sculptural object, anticipating the morphology of the future, on which he also plays and composes his own music.In his sculptural and painterly work, he thematizes the fascination and anxiety of what the present brings that foreshadows an unsettling future.This could be anything between a progressive technological marvel, a human apocalypse and an arid wasteland.
