I participated in Key Ideas one of a series of events organised by the Design Cluster at Camberwell College of Art Design. The series aims to examine issues and theories important to young designers.
Key Ideas: Object tackled the role of the object in contemporary society through multiple readings introduced by different experts via three themes:
Object as Sign
Object as Capital; the Value of Things
The Narrative of Objects
Guest speakers included: Grant Gibson, Neil Cummings, Stephen Hayward, Ralph Ball, Gareth Williams.
I spoke in relation to The Value of Things and tried to shift attention from objects to context; these are the notes for my presentation
