The fourth Utrecht Manifest biennale investigates the 'new working landscape' of both designers, non-designers, and in particular the direct occupants of the Utrecht district surroundings of Rotsoord. Already started earlier this week, this month will have some exciting lectures and workshops under the artistic direction of Jurgen Bey of Studio Makkink & Bey.
The English section of the website doesn't seem to be fully functioning yet, but as far as you can read Dutch, take a look at the program.
Also, Utrecht Manifest co-hosts a viewing of the 'Alles Moet Nieuw - Piet Zwart' film, which will be shown at the Louis Hartlooper Complex on May 23rd, 4 PM. We'll be there!
PS this edition's logo kind of made us think of 'De Mattenklopper' - though probably a bit of a far fetch in the context of social design. Graphic design studio Experimental Jetset made a nice post about the design for Van Kooten & De Bie on their facebook wall back in February.
