A mapping of art and design practices that focuses on the similarities and differences, the tensions and the bridges. Desarting is a case study of the act of visualising communication: it reveals the possibilities and its applications with respect to various autonomous qualities and engaging opportunities.

Evidentley Eindhoven is Design Capital #1. Still, what does it effectiveley mean to use the term ’designer’ and ’artist’? What does the practice actually behold and what can the public and commssioners expect from what proffession and from which practitioner...?

This mapping of art and design practices - the first exhibitions at the Onomatopee space in Kanaalstraat Eindhoven, focuses on the similarities and differences, the tensions and the bridges within the practice of a singe ’trained’ artist and designer. A critical writer will follow them and together they will mutually and publicly endeavour to describe their practices, starting with an honest personal approach.

Desarting is a case study of the act of visualising communication: it reveals the possibilities and its applications with respect to various autonomous qualities and engaging opportunities.

Each opening featured a public discussion between the artist, the designer and the writer. The forum will take place within the setting of the presentation.
