Abstract

Ongedwongen, poëtisch en tijdloos. Zo kunnen we de ontwerpen van Jean-François D'Or karakteriseren. De Belgische designer van het jaar 2013 werkt zichzelf niet in de belangstelling met grote spektakelstukken, maar drukt met zijn bijzondere talent vooral een eigen stempel op het domein van de kleinere woon- en interieuraccessoires zoals schalen, lampen, vazen, kapstokken, deurhendels, spiegels, ... Kleine touches die in alle subtiliteit een interieur kleuren en tegelijkertijd ook erg 'democratisch' design dat een groot publiek kan verleiden. Vertrekkend vanuit een analyse van de functionaliteit van een object ontwerpt hij uitgepuurde en ergonomisch geperfectioneerde items zonder daarbij evenwel de esthetiek uit het oog te verliezen. Of zoals hij het zelfs zegt: Ik wil me onderscheiden zonder daarin te veel grenzen te overschrijden, net ver genoeg gaan om de tijdloosheid te bereiken. First solo show by the Belgian designer of the year in Grand-Hornu. In 2003, he set up his own industrial design office : Loudordesign studio. His approach takes account of companies demands as well as users needs and is characterised by its accurateness. Exploring numerous materials, Jean-François D'Or brings out their beauty without ostentation. His simple, unpretentious, logical objects appeal as much for their clearly perceptible design as their discrete poetry. The exhibition "Moodboards" aims primarily to highlight his inspiration and universe characterised by mental rigor and poetry.

Abstract

Paper Bridge is the first bilingual collection by Ukrainian poet Vasyl Makhno, a “master of the contemporary Ukrainian Ballad, who builds a lifeline for the broken-hearted wanderers, homeless heartbreakers, hopeless romantics, and helpful ironists,” in the words of Valzhyna Mort, winner of the Griffin Poetry prize. Makhno’s bridge extends to us all, serving whatever purpose we need it to, as Lidijia Dimkovska, author of A Spare Life, writes, “it is a bridge that can burn or resist… but it is a witness to the existence of a traveler through souls, bodies, and spirits, through our own subconsciousness.” With this outstanding collection of poems, Makhno is able to preserve an “enviable spiritual equilibrium…one that grinds out the music even in the toughest of days, a music that survived the twentieth century and keeps alive in the new horrors of the twenty-first,” in the words of Los Angeles Book Prize winner Ilya Kaminsky, “and now despite it all, even in his room in New York City away from Ukraine, [Makhno] can still hear how ‘old age sings’ how it ‘nervously forces the music into a rhythm,” and how ‘it might falter, but it plays again.’”
