‘Enter and Encounter’ at the Design Museum, Helsinki
The Design Museum is presenting the exhibition “Enter and Encounter” at its gallery in Helsinki.“Enter and Encounter” is a joint exhibition produced by Design Museum and the Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo and displaying contemporary Finnish design after Helsinki’s Design Capital Year of 2012. This optimistic exhibition focuses on the future, asking how design challenges the present and shapes things to come. The works, projects and initiatives presented here are responses to change or the need for change. They create phenomena, offer perspectives and lay the basis for new attitudes and practice in a global context. The title of the exhibition invites visitors to encounter changes in design and society with an open mind and in a positive spirit. The exhibition contains examples of combating climate change, changes in food production, new forms of graphic design, satellite-based information services, and artificial intelligence. Exhibits include the Culture and Sompa saunas representing urban and sauna culture, new forms of culinary culture such as the Finnjävel restaurant and Kalle Freese’s Sudden Coffee, and new applications like Noona for the care of cancer patients, the MaaS urban mobility concept and the OURA Ring for monitoring personal health.The curators of the exhibition are Paula Bello, Katja Hagelstam, Juha Kronqvist, Heini Lehtinen, Ville Tikka and Esa Vesmanen.The Design Museum in Helsinki is 144 years old and one of the oldest in the world.
