SANS DESIGN

My friends Neill and Yijing are working in China at the moment, designing and producing the environment for an exhibition called Get It Louder. I really like what they've done with the place, and I thought you might too. You can learn more about the exhibition and their work here.

"Get It Louder is a traveling Biennial exhibition of new and young talent throwing a wide net over the creative industries from art to architecture, fashion to film and everything in between. First being held in 2005 the exhibition traditionally chases the autumnal sun from north to south beginning in Beijing, through Shanghai to Guangzhou. As such any exhibition construction needed to be either very temporary or transportable. We decided to try and hit both marks as well as integrating the overall theme of Issac Mao’s “Sharism” through the spatial use of the exhibition."

"As a practice we try to work through ethical methods of re-appropriation of commodities into spaces and hopefully back into commodities again. With the construction of these small modules we sort out a local contractor who could claim a sense of ownership in the project and worked closely through the construction process with reciprocal design changes with people who knew their craft. This is in antithesis to the usual invisible process of production in China."
