BIO50}hotel and the Museum as a Participatory Platform

Talk with Jan Boelen, Alessandro Fonte, Silvia Susanna

Oct 20th 2018 | 4 pm

Motel Win-win / TAC Eindhoven

Dutch Design Week

Can cultural exchange be seen as a new currency? In an interactive talk, Silvia Susanna and Alessandro Fonte together with Jan Boelen will investigate several issues including the design as negotiation and the museum as an underused infrastructure. They will also reflect on the legacy of BIO50 in relation to BIO50}hotel and the research platform nanotourism. Alessandro and Silvia explored museum as a participatory platform with their exhibition hotel model BIO50}hotel that provided hospitality within the exhibition space in exchange for cultural contribution. The project was established at BIO50, the 24th Biennial of Design Ljubljana, curated by Jan Boelen.

Exhibition NANOTOURISM

AA nanotourism Visiting School, BIO 50 - Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, 2014, TU Vienna, Institute of Architecture, Department of Building Theory by Design

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK / 28.9.–7.10.2018

The concept of nanotourism stands in critical and creative opposition to the ecological, economic, and social effects of dominant mass tourism. It’s defined as a location-specific,

participative, and locally oriented bottom-up alternative that motivates exchange between providers and travelers through co-creative approaches and knowledge transfer. The exhibition showed various forms of this kind of tourism, which international designers, architects, and institutions, inspired by the AA nanotourism Visiting School and BIO – Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, have initiated since 2014.

THE REBOOTS has been selected for the XXI Triennale di Milano - “21st Century. Design After Design” and will be featured within NEW CRAFT curated by Stefano Micelli at Fabbrica del Vapore an exhibition that “gives visible form to the virtuous encounter between technological innovation and excellence in manufacturing”.

The reboots is an open project based on integrating into the design process the idea of the object’s second life. A first part of the research was presented in the context of BIO50 - 24th Biennial of Design of Ljubljana curated by Jan Boelen and co-curated by Maja Vardjan within the section Hidden Crafts mentored by Tulga Beyerle. It was later selected for Adhocracy Athens curated by Ethel Baraona Pohl /dpr barcelona at the Onassis Cultural Center.

The Best Collaboration Award at BIO 50 - 24th Biennial of Design Ljubljana: Nanotourism 

“Nanotourism is an outstanding example of design ingenuity being used to reinvent and reinvigorate an important area of the Slovenian and other economies. The quality of the individual projects is exceptionally high. They are original, appealing and so pragmatic that they promise to endure. From a collaborative perspective, Nanotourism is both ambitious and highly complex and has dealt with a range of local communities with sensitivity and charm, while demonstrating the ever more eclectic nature of design and its potential to improve the quality of everyday life.”
