400 Years Later: Cite Goes Dutch
16th May - 14th June '09
CITE,
131 Greene Street, New York
In conjunction with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair and New York City’s celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam by the Dutch East India Company, 400 Years Later: Cite Goes Dutch will introduce recent and never before seen work by 23 emerging Dutch designers.
Featuring pieces by Studio Oooms, Jorre van Ast, Studio Glithero, Sander Mulder, Lotte van Laatum, Maarten Baptist and Jan Habraken among others, the exhibition draws an outline of contemporary design coming out of, and shaped by, the unique climate of the densely populated Netherlands.
Curated by Studio Jan Habraken and Alissia Melka-Teichroew in collaboration with Wabnitz Editions Ltd and Josee Lepage, the exhibition is a reflection of the work presented - intricate and pared-down, pragmatic and poetic, witty and well-crafted.
