YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to the Exhibition ‘AUTHENTIC’ with the MOBILE MUSEUM. The MOBILE MUSEUM, by Fabrica designers Dean Brown and Philip Bone, is a travelling museum with contents contributed by people from all over the world and from different backgrounds. Unlike a conventional museum, the collection is always changing and evolving depending on its location, with the location itself dictating the theme.  In 2011 and 2012 the MOBILE MUSEUM has been presented at the Milan Furniture Fair, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London as part of the “Friday Late Summer Camp program”; the Architecture Museum in Brussels as part of “Design September”; the MUDAM in Luxembourg; the Design Museum in Helsinki as part of “Designworld” and the 01100001 Art Gallery in CaoChangdi Village in Beijing as part of the Beijing Design Week. The curatorial theme of the Hong Kong’s stage is “Authentic”. Authentic speaks about the idea of what is genuine and what is not - particularly relevant to Hong Kong as a place that shares aspects of European and Chinese Culture - a place caught between different values. Authenticity touches everything from food, to production to song writing - something intangible but very real to the maker or the observer. Authentic is also tradition and custom.www.themobilemuseum.net Ilivetomorrow is a creative space dedicated to experimental design explorations, a lab for prospective and innovative collaborations with designers, artists, architects and manufacturers.www.ilivetomorrow.com

‘FRAGMENT(s) The Poetic of Decay’ a project of Jesse McLin & Julie Progin | a co-Editions with ilivetomorrow LIMITEDunLIMITED Editions | Exhibition at ilivetomorrow till January 31 2013

ILIVETOMORROW CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO THE OPENING OF ‘FRAGMENT(s) the Poetic of Decay’ a project by Jesse Mc Lin & Julie Progin OPening Thursday, 10th of January 2013 from 6.30 to 9.30 pm at ilivetomorrow G/F 43 Tung Street Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Located in the Jiangxi province and known as the porcelain city of China, Jingdezhen has a history of over 2000 years in porcelain making. Artist and designers Jesse Mc Lin and Julie Progin have been working there for over four years during which they have established a production studio and developed several porcelain collections for their own brand, for private clients and for special commissions. During the years spent in Jingdezhen Julie and Jesse have made a unique research based on the ceramic history and practices of the city in discussing and working hand in hand with local craftsmen and mass production factories. they have accumulated knowledge of a large range of specifics and studied the standard typologies and forms produced historically and presently in the city as well as the unique qualities of the local kaolin and its firing processes. Julie and Jesse’s investigation of Jingdezhen also lead them around the city where the landscape is undeniably shaped by the ceramic industry with mountains of remains composed mainly of broken molds and porcelain pieces. these residues bring to light the entropy of the processes in ceramic production and revealed themselves to Jesse and J ulie as a poetic decay, offering a kind of ‘real-time’ archeology of the city that inspired FRAGMENT(S).
