Edgy Products

The Director is looking forward to the "Edgy Product" show in San Jose, part of ISEA2006, which he co-chaired with the inimitable Susan Joyce. Eleven inspired artists and designers have re-imagined the category of product, creating novel devices for nonstandard applications. Our total sales environment will be open to courageous consumers from August 7 - 14 in the cavernous South Hall of the convention center.

Picture is an excerpt from the project Edgetown, 2004, Ben Hooker and Shona Kitchen.

"Objects of every sort are materials for the new art: paint, chairs, food, electric and neon lights, smoke, water, old socks, a dog, movies, and a thousand other things...."

We wish him luck in the afterhappening.
