Interaction between 4 generations. This is my grandfather, whom was the first generation here in the US. He sponsored my parents' family. This is my second son giving his 92 year old great grandfather a kiss after receiving a Lì Xì.
Designer and Design Academy Alumnus Tom Loois believes in the importance of human interaction and in designing connections between people, objects and spaces. The closer he can bring people together the better, though not necessarily in a physical way. He achieves this by looking for common denominators that we have forgotten, overlooked or turned into a taboo. Loois employs vulnerability, candour and wonder to turn stereotypes and worn-down patterns back into a dynamic whole where everyone can move around freely. Following his contribution last year as initiator and curator of For Play, a MU exhibition on sex and design, he is now co-curating the Embassy of Intimacy together with MU’s Angelique Spaninks, a show that is part of the first World Design Event (WDE). It promises to be an evening full of intimacies, but surely not just for intimate friends.
