H&D designed the book 'Making Matters. A Vocabulary of Collective Arts'

Wednesday, 15 June, 16:00 the book will be launched at Kunsttempel in Kassel⁣

The entries in this experimental vocabulary were written in collaboration with multidisciplinary collectives, artists and designers from five continents. They reflect how collective action changes artists’ identity and ways of working, where artists work together with non-artists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker, or business consultant. In these practices and in this vocabulary, boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or dissolve entirely, and no longer conform to a Western concept of art.⁣ ⁣
