book launch designreportagen
jörg stürzebecher, edited by ursula wenzel
invitation to the book launch of designreportagen by jörg stürzebecher on saturday, october 25, starting at 6pm.
actor wolfram koch will read texts by jörg stürzebecher. the editor ursula wenzel and publishers rike felka and erich brinkmann will be present.
a brief walk through the history of design. incendiary thoughts that draw attention to the material world. aphoristic, witty, and instructive, jörg stürzebecher's texts take a matter-of-fact approach to the problem of the fascination with objects. do you love rams? then this textbook on the often-neglected history of objects is a book you can take off the shelf again and again. with unexpected references, surprising twists, and far from any clichés, it explains what design actually is. beyond the opposition of functional and non-functional, interested in the tangible, in construction and in easily overlooked details, this book is a commitment to the concrete world, which has fatally split apart.
