Tijdens de afgelopen Dutch Design Week (20-28 oktober 2007) kon de bezoeker zich per Design Shuttle laten vervoeren tussen de diverse locaties, Strijp S, De Witte Dame, het Temporary Art Centre en de Campus van Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Een lokale Volvo-dealer voorzag zijn nieuwste modellen van een imperiaal waarop absurde 'designobjecten' waren gemonteerd.
Met evenementen, exposities en lezingen, workshops en symposia toonde de Dutch Design Week de nieuwste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van het Nederlandse ontwerpen.

Few designers have managed to be masters in more than one field. Herbert Matter is an exception, excelling in graphic design, film and photography he became a well respected collaborator of some of the twentieth century’s legends like Charles & Ray Eames, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Calder and Jackson Pollock. Always striking a balance between fine art projects and commercial work, the taciturn designer found his own unique language.
Known as a quintessential designer's designer, Swiss born Matter is largely credited with expanding the use of photography as a design tool and bringing the semantics of fine art into the realm of applied arts. This film offers a revealing look at the fascinating life story of the highly influential mid-century modern design master.
In today's commercialized and oversaturated world, the documentary directed by Reto Caduff ("Charlie Haden - Rambling Boy", "A Crude Awakening") lets luminaries such as Robert Frank, Massimo Vignelli, Alvin Eisenmann, Steven Heller, Elaine Lustig Cohen and others explain why Matter still matters. Through never-before-seen footage, personal photography and stunning graphic design work, the film explores the social and cultural impact of his personal visual langauge that influenced a whole generation of designer and artists.
With technical possibilities becoming pratically limitless and cheaper by the day young directors are experimenting like never before. Be it a photographer creating 3d-like videoworks for a gallry presentation, clever and haunting motion graphics or dreams of rearranging the world like one would in a game. Energetic and tingly, illuminated and fresh. Technology has found a new purpose, evidently...

You don't have to be a Rockefeller to collect art...
Herb & Dorothy tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means.
In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists. Devoting all of Herb's salary to purchase art they liked, and living on Dorothy's paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Within these limitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists.
Remarkable as the Vogels' story may be, their influence on the New York minimalist art scene is even greater. Their eye for future talent and persistence on purchasing and promoting quality work from undiscovered talent has been of huge support to a generation. Herb and Dorothy may seem to be just collectors, recent recognition for their collection has made them true ambassadors of a significant movement defining the core of synthesis of artistic value and design in a new way.
Their tiny appartment is like a treasure chest of a little understood, but certainly challenging and influential niche of modern art. And their taste should be textbook material for all aiming to understand the design of an object. This documentary, winning dozens of awards worldwide, is their deserved virtual diary of decades, an insight to the eyes of true taste and guts.
