Berlin: The Art of Conversation

Twenty design studios: 10 from London, 10 from Berlin, recently participated a grown up, creative and visual version of the Chinese Whispers game (known to some as Telephone). Through the use of Skype, each participant was presented with a work idea from the previous participant in the chain, after which they had 3 days to interpret it and forward their results to the next participant. The responses could take any form, from sculpture to performance, photograph to text. In this fascinating collaborative process, the creatives engaged with and reinterpreted concepts and designs generated by their fellow designers. Through the exhibitions, first in London and now opening in Berlin, the curators hope to demonstrate the different approaches and aesthetics of London practitioners and their Berlin based counterparts whilst facilitating a complex mash up of the two. In addition, each participating studio has designed a Limited Edition two colour screen print in response to their involvement in the process. For more info, click here.
