The Stedelijk Museum in Den Bosch, the Netherlands, is set to host a retrospective of works by Formafantasma titled 'Prima Materia', which will run 15 February - 15 June, 2014. The exhibition is curated by Fredric Baas, and will be supported by a publication with original contributions by Li Edelkoort, Joana de Almeida Meroz, Marco Petroni, Alice Rawsthorn, Louise Schouwenberg and Libby Sellers (graphic design by Bettina Madita Bohm).
According to the Museum, "This retrospective will focus not only on objects and installations but also on the creative process and mental world of Studio Formafantasma. The title of the exhibition refers to alchemy: the transformation of everyday raw materials into precious goods. Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin do something similar as designers. An extensive research and work process results in products and installations that raise questions about the role of industry, globalisation and sustainability".
The publication is now available to purchase through Gallery Libby Sellers. Please contact us for details.
