DESIGNINQUIRY WORK/AROUND will take place during the London Design Festival (17–23 September 2023) and will be held in a “meanwhile” space of University of the Arts London in the Millbank area close to Tate Britain and Chelsea College of Arts, and importantly continues after this specific event to further develop, collect and present its findings in the form of website(s) and publication(s).
This multi-disciplinary gathering serves as an open format publishing platform of 12 residents, DI framers and daily inquirers to engage in a week of obstacles, diversions and impositions to work around. We invite applicants from diverse disciplines interested in design: Fields of interest can be performance, installation, interaction, drawing, music, philosophy, painting, geography, architecture, gastronomy, astronomy, walking, talking, among others.
Framers review questionnaires and assemble DesignInquirers based on potency and WORK/AROUND compatibility. Applications close when the residency is full, but drop-ins are always welcome for anyone who’s local and interested. Suits 12 residents for the week. Travel and accommodation are the responsibility of participants. An email thread will be started among the participants as soon as we know who they are.
