MESSMERIZING_CURIOSITY SETS THINGS IN MOTION

Curiosity sets things in motion

MESSMERIZING is a contemporary exhibition, blurring boundaries between design & experience art by objects that create curiosity MESSMERIZING is minidistrict to wonder about while sparking joy MESSMERIZING is a project by Sandra Keja Planken & Job Keja MESSMERIZING started in 2022 as a pop up and continues in 2023 as a new design experience MESSMERIZING operates as a nomadic gallery for the long run About the concept: Curiosity sets things in motion. The whole reason we can look forward, create, invent & do is set on a base of childlike curiosity "the art of looking". With this concept show the importance of curiosity in all we do, design and create. Then, now and for the future to come. We give the visitors an invitation to go back to their own curiosity. What is created and why? What materials are used and why? What is the story behind it? And let visitors wonder around free to create their own interpretation. Let it spark joy, curiosity and mesmerize while thinking of then and the future. About the participants: with crossovers between design, art, graphic, 3D and fashion we go to show past, present and future can intertwine in stage of Autotaalglas and Keim paint.
