Joanna Van Der Zanden, Artez Press. From 2006 - 2009, the design think tank Platform21 inspired new ways of thinking about design, and new ways of interacting with the design objects around us. The group was founded as a collaborative project that would eventually lead to the creation of a new workshop and exhibition space, Supermaker. Unfortunately, Supermaker did not come to fruition, and so the Platform21 project ended, but was not forgotten. It left in its wake pioneering ideas such as the repair manifesto (a manifesto that opposes throwaway culture and encourages imperfect items with longevity), IKEA hacks (redesigning and customising IKEA products to make them your own), a breakfast machine and a series of experiments in creating tangible products from foodstuffs, including a lemon battery and a flute made from a carrot. Platform21 inspired many professional designers and laymen alike to see more creative potential in almost everything. Curatorial Cooking includes plenty of fascinating text and examples of projects to encourage the reader to reuse, create and redesign. Includes projects by Aart van Bezooyen, Akinori Oishi, Arne Hendriks, Cynthia Hathaway, Dewi Pinatih, Dinie Besems, Erik Wong, Guy Keulemans, Heleen Klopper, Hybridspacelab, Maite Abella Grau, Marco Bevolo, Nancy Nowacek, Nox Architects, Robert Stadler, Sang-Kyu Kim, Scott Burnham, Sergio Davilla, Shane Waltener, Ted Noten, Van Bergen Kolpa Architecten and Yuri Suzuki.

te ontwikkelen. Gerealiseerde projecten als 'Platform21 = Repairing', 'Platform21 = hacking ikea' en 'Me and My Character' passeren de revue, maar ook 21 nieuwe voorstellen door kunstenaars, ontwerpers en curatoren. Met bijdragen van o.a. Hybridspacelab, Cynthia Hathaway, Arne Hendriks, Ted Noten, Scott Burnham, Heleen Klopper en Yuri Suzuki. Een onmisbaar boek voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in tentoonstellingspraktijken en de toekomst van (design)musea en voor iedereen die over Platform21 heeft gehoord in de media (het repair manifesto werd meer dan een miljoen keer godownload) maar nooit de kans zag een project te bezoeken.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
