MATERIALS & MAKING

Pogovor z Elizabeth Corbin in Richardom Gamesterjem.

→ Imajo materiali spomin?
→ Kako izgleda beton, ki lahko sam zgladi svoje razpoke?
→ Kaj vse se najde v knjižnici materialov?
→ O čem govorimo, ko govorimo o “making” skupnosti?
Vsi ustvarjalci – od tistih, ki vas zanima izdelovanje molekul do tistih, ki vam je bližje ustvarjanje oblačil ali zgradb, pridružite se nam na predstavitvi in pogovoru z Elizabeth Corbin, aktivno članico organizacije Institute of Making (instituteofmaking.org.uk) iz londonskega University College London (ucl.ac.uk) in Richardom Gamesterjem, bivšim dolgoletnim tehničnim vodjem delavnice MakeSpace (instituteofmaking.org.uk/makespace).
Govorili bomo o raziskovanju in oblikovanju materialov, “making” skupnosti na UCL in “making” gibanju na splošno.
→ Kdaj? Ponedeljek, 16.5.2016, ob 18h
→ Kje? Tkalka, Tkalski prehod 4, Maribor
Knjižnica materialov (instituteofmaking.org.uk/materials-library) organizacije Institute of Making je kolekcija prečudovitih snovi našega planeta, zbranih na kupu iz najrazličnejših koncev sveta, ker nosijo v sebi moč, da hranijo domišljijo in spodbujajo konceptualizacijo. Knjižnica je obenem vir, laboratorij, studio in igrišče za vse radovedne, ki jih zanima interdisciplinarno raziskovanje materialov in inoviranje. Ustanovljena je bila že leta 2005. Skupaj z MakeSpace delavnico danes predstavljata kreativni dom za vrsto ustvarjalcev, saj odpirata prostor za inoviraje, poglobljeno razmišljanje o različnih aspektih materialov ter raziskovanje odnosa med njimi in procesom izdelovanja.
Od samo popravljivega betona do materialov z oblikovnim spominom – pridružite se raziskovalki in kuratorki Liz Corbin, ki nas bo popeljala skozi zbirko njej najljubših vzorcev iz knjižnice materialov. Predstavitvi bo sledil pogovor z obema gostoma.
Dogodek bo potekal v angleškem jeziku.
O Elizabeth Corbin
Elizabeth je ustvarjalka in oblikovalka z magisterijem iz kulture in oblikovanja materialov, UCL. V svojem delu raziskuje relacijski, zaznavni in izkustveni vpliv materialov na naše dojemanje sveta. Trenutno se ukvarja s preučevanje izdelovanja in rokodelskih praks kot alternative procesno vodenim raziskovalnim metodam.

What can be discovered in the Material Library and whom can we meet in the MakeSpace? A conversation with Elizabeth Corbin and Richard Gamester
→ Do materials have memory?
→ How does a self-healing concrete look like?
→ What can you find in the Materials Library?
→ What is making community all about?
All interested in the made world: from makers of molecules to makers of socks and buildings, join us for the presentation and conversation with Elizabeth Corbin, active member of Institute of Making (instituteofmaking.org.uk), which is part of University College London (ucl.ac.uk) and with Richard Gamester, ex longtime technician of MakeSpace (instituteofmaking.org.uk/makespace). We’ll be talking about material research and design, making community at UCL and making movement in general.
→ When? Monday, 16.5.2016, 6 pm
→ Where? Tkalka, Tkalski prehod 4, Maribor
The Institute of Making Materials Library (instituteofmaking.org.uk/materials-library) is a collection of some of the most wondrous materials on earth, gathered from sheds, labs, grottoes and repositories around the world for their ability to fire the imagination and advance conceptualisation. It is a resource, laboratory, studio, and playground for the curious and material minded to conduct hands-on research through truly interdisciplinary inquiry and innovation. First established in 2005, today the Collection remains at the heart of the Institute of Making alongside the Institute’s MakeSpace workshop -a dynamic pairing that provides all makers with a creative home in which to innovate, contemplate and understand all aspects of materials and explore their relationship to making.
From self-healing concrete to shape memory alloys; join Curator, Liz Corbin, in exploring a few of her favorite items from the Collection. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with both guests.
The event will be held in English.
