"Thek it and Hang it" installation,02.06.2020–18.04.2021,Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy As part of the exhibition "Le temps et moi" at the Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, "Thek it and Hang it" installation created at the instigation of artist Miriam Laura Leonardi. Installation created at the instigation of artist Miriam Laura Leonardi by Djellza Azemi, Ana-Francesca Balan, Tudor Ciurescu, Peilian Li, Cyane Findji, Ernest Gachet, Tennessee MacDougall, Christian Schulz and Stefan Tanase, students from the Bachelor Fine Arts at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. As part of the exhibition "Le temps et moi" at the Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, from 2 June 2020 to 18 April 2021. Inspired by the notions of time and memory, the American artist Paul Thek (born in Brooklyn, 1933 - 1988) proposed to its students to design "something to put over a child s bed". A group from ECAL took up the same topic to imagine and create this installation. The time here is upside down: a cradle has been dismantled, its bars soaked in wax, then sunk one s teeth into, before being put back together as a mobile. Common in children s rooms, especially above cribs, mobiles entertain infants and stimulate their sight. The bed protecting the child here becomes a fragile distraction, suspended in the room covered with soft carpet topped with blue. On the floor, the night light is a bulb covered by hair. And by way of a lullaby, you can get carried away by a poem more disturbing than soothing in the earphone... Thanks to Philippe Decrauzat, Stéphane Kropf, Charly Mirambeau, Gina Proenza and Paul Thek as well as the Roman Museum team. Dates and times From 2 June 2020 to 18 April 2021 Normal: 11:00-18:00 Closed on Mondays, except July-August and public holidays. Closed on 24, 25, 31 December and 1st January.

Zone Grise For their first workshop at ECAL, the first year Bachelor Photography students were given the opportunity to work with the Swiss photographer duo Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs. After receiving 20Kg of clay each, they began their plastic exploration with the creation of a mask, a recognizable and anthropomorphic form. By gradually moving away from figuration, the clay, gradually transforming into an image, has been the founding element of formal, intuitive and experimental explorations. The results have been published in the form of a book and an ephemeral installation in a closed and fragile space where the frenzy of creation seems frozen in time.

Usefulless In his essay, Theory of Metamorphosis , philosopher Emanuele Coccia celebrates the “power of caterpillars” allowing them to transition from one existence to another without having to die first nor being born again. The caterpillar thus in its full autonomy shakes up the natural order of things. This in-between state materializes in the cocoon, an intermediate yet complete stage, totalizing more than the sum of two halves. The cocoon is a circumscribed territory which has no limits, not completely life, not totally death. This solipsistic space is plural, it is host to the liquid form, embracing simultaneity and different realities. The artworks presented here echo the principle of transition which govern this exhibition. Through their relationship to space or how they question the function of an art object, through the staging of intimacy, these works identify a limit and almost mechanically, ask what lies beyond. Usefulless is a quality specific to useful objects that are nowhere to be found when needed. Opening a middle way through the binary definition useful/useless , the term usefulless defines a transitional state of utility. Here inside the exhibition, the influence of context reveals the intrinsic ambivalence of objects, useful only based on a need, at a given time, for something or to someone. Usefulless opens a dialogue between the works of the students of the Master Fine Arts at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne and pieces from artists whose respective practices explore similar avenues.

"Workbays Village" exhibition in collaboration with Vitra,02.10–21.11.2019,Fire Station, Vitra Campus, Weil am Rhein Following a workshop led by Camille Blin and Erwan Bouroullec in 2017, Master Product Design students from ECAL present “Workbays Village”, a project inspired by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec s customizable office partitioning systems manufactured by Vitra. Introduction by Erwan Bouroullec and opening reception on Tuesday 1 October 2019, from 6pm to 8pm at the Fire Station on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. The exhibition will be open from 2 October to 21 November 2019, from Monday to Sunday, from 10am to 6pm. Vitra Campus, Fire Station, Zaha Hadid, 1993 Charles-Eames-Strasse 2 79576 Weil am Rhein www.vitra.com DOWNLOAD IMAGES HD DOWNLOAD POSTER With Workbays, which they created for Vitra a few years ago, the French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, who regularly collaborate with ECAL, have developed a micro-architectural system that redefines the working environment and breaks with the typical rigid planning structure of offices. Thus Workbays create distinct areas where individuals or groups can retreat from the general office environment to carry out specific activities. The units come equipped with everything users need: work surfaces, seating, optional storage and power connections. The structure of Workbays consists of slim aluminium profiles and organically shaped wall elements made of pressed polyester felt. “The ECAL students suggested we devised new typologies for these working environments, adding novel features and supplying them with new accessories”, says Camille Blin, the designer and professor who headed the project. So the Master Product Design students worked for a full semester under the watchful eye of Erwan Bouroullec and invented new structures that call to mind Japanese 0capsule hotels, a prototyping workshop, a gym, a bar, a garden or a resting area. For each of these spaces, the students created specific and original objects, ranging from Bluetooth loudspeakers to miniature lamps reminiscent of stadium ones, desk pads-cum-bags, a semi-standing stool, a cable-covering carpet, in & out wastepaper baskets, multi socket trays or a desk partition with vases and drawing pins. A 3D animation film specifically created by TRAUM Inc. presenting these unusual Workbays can also be seen at the exhibition. Opening reception on Thursday 29 June 2017 from 6.30 pm to 21 pm at the Port des Créateurs Exhibition from 30 June to 2 July, from 10am to 6pm during the Festival. Then until 24 September, from Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 7pm. Le Port des Créateurs Place Savonnières 83000 Toulon www.villanoailles-hyeres.com www.ecal.ch www.vitra.com
Agnese Làposi – Alma in the herd Alma visits her older sister, who lives in a commune in the countryside. She meets a boy and a stolen cow in the garden. Fiction / 25 min Synopsis Alma, thirteen years old, visits her older sister, who lives in a commune in the countryside. A stolen cow and a young man live in the garden of the house. The young girl struggles to come to terms with this new reality. Comment "When you take the horns off the cows, they can t communicate." For this reason, a cow has been kidnapped and hidden in the neo-rural, revolutionary and contemporary community where Ramona, a fulfilled young woman, lives. Alma, Ramona s younger sister, comes to visit her for the first time. A teenager with a long and urban silhouette. She discovers her sister s life and it is in her alternately curious, impressed and critical eyes that we discover the other members who live there. Alma wanders among them. From the sensitive look of the teenager emerges a poetry that enlightens each one, here a young woman who anoints her hair with oil, there a handsome young man, an apprentice manufacturer of explosives, who shows her the effects of his mixtures. Something could happen between them... or not. Agnese Làposi has chosen to keep Alma at a distance from those she meets. With small touches, she draws a portrait of this reserved young girl who has difficulty mixing with others. Alma will remain fascinated by the cow. And why not? These are the things of nature that we rediscover with the film Alma in the herd by Agnese Làposi. Annette Dutertre / Editor and head of the editing department of La Fémis
Adèle Beaulieu – Playing Hell 22 year old Ava, goes to stay with her grandfather who lives in the Franches-Montagnes. They walk through forests together looking for Antoine who had disappeared that morning. Fiction / 14 min Synopsis 22 year old Ava, goes to stay with her grandfather who lives in the Franches-Montagnes. They walk through forests together looking for Antoine who had disappeared that morning. Comment Ava goes to stay with her grand father, François, a whimsical character reclused on the edge of the moutains, in the small village Les Enfers. Like a road movie, the landscapes pass by, François confides to Ava that he has lost Antoine, his dog. Granddaughter and grandfather go in search of him. They make it their quest. Like a pretext for their meeting. Snow and fog envelop them. The space closes in on them. In the absence of a trajectory where it can unfold, time becomes an instant. It is lived on the surface of the image, on the surface of the faces. The quest for the dog becomes the quest for the other, which we scrutinize to guess its relief, to detect its informal history. Ava and François go deeper into the forest. In the snow, the mark of their passage, of their mysterious presence to each other. Their paths diverge and then meet again. A relationship takes shape, a link is created. Adèle prints it, the nostalgic black and white of the film reveals it. Suspended, impressionistic, delicate staging. The trace of its two characters - endearing and disconcerting - crosses us. A tasty impression of an encounter, of a fleeting and deep embrace in Les Enfers. A successful bet. Sophie Audier, script supervisor and head of the Script Supervisor departement at La Fémis, Paris
"Ring my Bell" at Design Biennale Zürich,29.08–01.09.2019,Design Biennale Zürich On the occasion of the Design Biennale Zürich from 29 August to 1st September 2019, ECAL showcases “Ring my Bell”, an offbeat collection of interactive doorbells, presented last April at the Milan Design Week. www.ecal-ringmybell.ch HD Images Brochure with explanations Video on vimeo DONG! TRRRRRR! Or maybe even GLING! Or BLING!, MHHHH! And sometimes even BRAOUM! ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents an offbeat collection of interactive doorbells developed by first-year Bachelor Industrial Design students, under the joint guidance of Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Head of Bachelor Industrial Design, and Mathieu Rivier, a Bachelor Media & Interaction Design graduate. This project is part of the “Sound & Vision” exhibition, shown for the first time, in collaboration with EPFL+ECAL Lab, at the 2019 Milan International Furniture Fair. Sound and object design are two notions that industrial designers rarely have the opportunity to combine. Nevertheless, most everyday objects potentially produce sounds. Just pull up a chair, open or close a drawer or even flip a switch and you will create sound. What do all these actions have in common? Movement, friction and interaction which draw on the basic laws of physics to create tones. With this in mind, the students have offered a fresh and original take on an everyday object, one that is unremarkable yet never silent—the doorbell. They have designed a range of mechanical and electrical doorbells that offer a unique, sometimes even thunderous, sound experience. Well-known chimes step aside and are replaced by a curious metallophone triggered by a punch card reminiscent of traditional mechanical music boxes. The former door knocker is now amplified by a vibrant dong! The familiar buzzer has been replaced by an energetic drum roll. The everyday doorbell has been replaced by a curious device that makes a sound like thunder. At last, where you might expect a ding-dong, there is now a stertorous mooing mhhhh! These are just some of the contraptions displayed. Come in and ring! Schedule Thursday (Opening Night): 17:00–21:00 Friday & Saturday: 12:00–21:00 Sunday: 12:00–19:00 Creative Lab Werkstadt Zürich www.designbiennalezurich.ch As part of the Swiss Game Design Lounge, two ECAL Bachelor Media and Interaction Design graduates will also present several projects initiated at ECAL during their studies.

Morgan Carlier – Learning how to breathe under water ‘Shame has undergone a shift. In today s world, my 15-year-old brother is free to express his identity and does not seem to face the same difficulties I experienced during my own adolescence. Only ten years separate us and, through him, I project a nostalgia of youth that I once dreamed of. The book presents him not only as muse but also as an initiator by showing his vision of being a teenager. Together, we reflect on notions of identity, freedom of youth and the expectations of gendered behavior. The border between staging and documented is blurred, his gaze becomes intertwined with mine. ‘Shame has undergone a shift.

Pierre Keller: 1945-2019,08.07.2019,ECAL, Renens It is with great sadness that ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne announces the passing of Pierre Keller, its director between 1995 and 2011. “We do everything seriously, without ever taking ourselves seriously.” This was Pierre Keller s maxim when he worked at ECAL, and it allowed him to move a small school in the Canton of Vaud up the ranks of Schools of Art and Design worldwide to become a member of the global elite. A native son of Gilly, Pierre Keller graduated as a graphic designer in 1965 from what was then the Ecole des beaux-arts et arts appliqués in Lausanne (now ECAL), and, while working as a teacher, won fame as an artist, photographer, and representative of the Council of State of Vaud in the organisation of the 700th anniversary of the Swiss nation. In 1995, he returned to ECAL, this time through the front door, and became its new director. For more than 16 years, he moulded ECAL in his own image – one that was vibrant, original and creative. He tackled all manner of challenges and headed up a number of major projects which all contributed to placing the school on the world stage. Pierre Keller has mounted exhibitions in all four corners of the world, forged countless partnerships with leading brands and institutions and was the brains behind the iconic ECAL building that has stood in Renens since 2007 which he, in partnership with his architect friend Bernard Tschumi, designed throughout. He also strove, at all times, to ensure that his students received the very best. While he has won widespread recognition (Prix de Lausanne, the French Ordre des palmes académiques, the Design Prize Switzerland, and has been invited to deliver guest lectures at institutions such as EPFL in Lausanne and the Tecnológico de Monterrey), his greatest source of pride was clearly the opportunity he enjoyed to help hundreds of young artists and designers to fulfil their potential. For all these things, ECAL would like to say to you, Pierre, a big THANK YOU!

Federico Barbon – Alessandro Calabrese — The Long Thing I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Italian artist Alessandro Calabrese on a monograph of his latest work. In this work the artist used a flatbed scanner to create all the works that are part of this project. Initially I was faced with this gap between photographic production and manual photographic composition. I was spontaneously inspired to take over the artist s production codes to design the book. In fact the entire book is composed through the use a scanner by hand. I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Italian artist Alessandro Calabrese on a monograph of his latest work.

Clara Aboulker – Babel, Bαβέλ, لباب ,לבב In Genesis 11 , it says: “The whole Earth was of one language, and of one speech.” People decided to build a tower that would reach the heavens. To punish their pride, God destroyed the tower and confused their language. Babel is a multilingual book (four languages: Greek, English, Arabic, Hebrew) that relates this biblical episode as well as the unfinished search for a unique and perfect language. This book considers translation as a solution to a universal language and proposes to visualize the text in an architectural way.

Clio Hadjigeorgiou – Κυπριώτικο Σκετς / [kipri otiko skets] / Cypriot Sketch Cypriot dialect was first broadcast in the media through radio in 1950. Via three stories by Andreas Koukkides, Cypriot Sketch highlights some cultural and linguistic elements of Cypriot dialect. The language barrier is no longer an obstacle but a communication challenge. Compound words, proverbs and phrases are translated visually and in a playful manner. Considerable linguistic borrowing happened as a glossary of loanwords shows at the end of the book; the words are all taken from the transcribed stories and are translated into the related languages of the dialect.

Thomas Prost – From Public to Public From Public to Public is a research project that explores how public debates are communicated. With the advent of communication tools, the number of actors taking part in these debates has increased. Because of its media coverage, I chose the theme of climate change and compared a scientific report to a citizen manifesto in an edition. This book is composed of 4 different analyses and studies the construction of these 2 texts. This research is complemented by a browser plug-in, which serves as a tool for the reader to continue these analyses.

With the support of the Embassy of Switzerland in the United Kingdom. Victoria and Albert Museum Blavatnik Hall Cromwell Road London, SW7 2RL www.vam.ac.uk UPDATE: After the Milan Design Week, the exhibition "ECAL Digital Market" will be presented from 9 to 17 June 2018 (including a few days during Art Basel et Design Miami/ Basel) at the Vitra Design Museum (Schaudepot) in Weil am Rhein. Opening: Every day, from 10am to 6pm Vitra Design Museum Charles-Eames-Str. 2 D-79576 Weil am Rhein www.design-museum.de In partnership with the 3D printing company Formlabs, ECAL Master Product Design students present a range of innovative everyday life objects, produced through a print farm within the exhibition and sold directly on site. Projects from ECAL faculty and alumni are also available. The concept was imagined by Camille Blin, head of the Master Product Design, and Christophe Guberan, ECAL tutor. HD Images Brochure with explanations ECAL has turned Spazio Orso 16, a 17th century Milanese palazzo, into a contemporary production site and retail shop inspired by a new vision of digital manufacturing. Lately, most of the product design research into 3D printing has been focusing on new technologies and the shapes they can generate. The idea of this project is to present digital manufacturing as an industrial production tool thanks to a print farm composed of numerous machines printing the same pieces simultaneously. “ECAL Digital Market” offers functional and well-designed everyday objects, created by Master Product Design students as well as by a selection of ECAL-related designers (faculty members and alumni). The project looks into the possibilities of production on demand. It examines the changing environment of manufacturing processes, it emphasizes how fast and transparent today s design industry could become, and experiments with new design details that are too intricate to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques. Finally, “ECAL Digital Market” highlights the role of the designer in this new production cycle. Thanks to the 3D printers and know-how provided by Formlabs, a large variety of objects such as combs, tape dispensers, mechanical pencils, shoehorns, coat hooks, scissors, spinning tops, shelves and many more are produced and sold on site by the students. The digital files of the objects can also be purchased online: www.ecal-digital-market.ch Press preview Monday 16 April, 4 pm – 6 pm Opening hours Tuesday 17 April – Saturday 21 April, 11 am – 8 pm Sunday 22 April, 11 am – 4 pm Spazio Orso 16 Via dell Orso 16 20121 Milano

"U-Joints" exhibition,01–29.05.2019,Gallery l elac Curated by Andrea Caputo and Anniina Koivu, the "U-Joints" exhibition features the first chapter of an ongoing research initiated on the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2018. A large selection of nails, screws, rivets, bolts and nuts is shown alongside products created by international designers and a new taxonomy of basic fasteners, graphically developed by Graphic Thought Facility. Opening reception 1.05.2019, 18 h – 20 h Dates 2.05.2019 – 29.05.2019 Wednesday – Friday 13 h – 17 h Galerie l elac 5, avenue du Temple CH-1020 Renens IMAGES HD U-Joints is a research project led by Andrea Caputo and Anniina Koivu, as well as a group exhibition that explores the idea of connections in design.Initiated on the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2018, the first U-Joints exhibition was an eclectic introduction to the topic of connections. Taking a look at the multifaceted world of joints, curators Andrea Caputo and Anniina Koivu broke joints open, organised them by material and production processes, reassembled them into prototypes, and used them in real-world applications. For eight days, U-Joints brought together 919 pieces – from the most common joints to design s most innovative ones, as well as those that have had the greatest influence on contemporary design. This captivating introduction launched the U-Joints research project, which is now in the process of investigating different kinds of connections even more deeply. Ultimately, the research project s findings will be published in a large volume that examines joinery in furniture and product design. U-Joints takes a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. Featuring technical information about joinery as well as stories and commentaries, U-Joints looks at human history through its details, and invites us to see our built environment in whole new ways. The ongoing U-Joints research is accompanied by a series of exhibitions. Each show reads like a chapter of the future book. The first chapter in this series is the current U-Joints exhibition at Galerie l elac at ECAL/University of Art & Design Lausanne. Dedicated to very basic fasteners, the exhibition features a large selection of nails, screws, rivets, bolts and nuts, alongside products created by 20 international designers and a new taxonomy diagram created just for U-Joints. Andrea Caputo says: “Within the world of ‘connections we imagine including any field of investigation, from architecture to product design to fashion. It is an extremely scalable concept, and we aim to investigate not only the fundamental constructive principles but also to conduct methodological analysis. The manufacture of the joint can coincide with an industrial, artisanal or extremely extemporaneous and experimental process.” Anniina Koivu says: “Designers appropriate standard connectors; they assemble and personalise them. Sometimes, they invent new joinery from scratch. Always, they use joints to create unique objects. But because a joint is often invisible, hidden elegantly inside an object, it can pass by unnoticed. U-Joints seeks to change this.” The Taxonomy of Joints Taxonomy is the science of describing, identifying, naming and classifying organisms. The Taxonomy of Joints traces the macrocosm of joinery in furniture and product design today. Starting from the most common production techniques, the structure creates a genealogical tree that is divided into four families, twenty subfamilies and a still-to-be-defined number of individual joints. The taxonomy exhibited here looks at basic fasteners: nails, screws, rivets, bolts and nuts, in 192 of their most common examples. Much like that of an organism, The Taxonomy of Joints can grow or change its form: it is a work in progress. The taxonomy on display was graphically developed by British studio Graphic Thought Facility.

ECAL Milano 2019: Sound & Vision,09–14.04.2019,Spazio Orso 16, Milano On the occasion of the “Sound & Vision” exhibition, ECAL and the design research centre EPFL+ECAL Lab awaken your senses through a range of immersive experiences, from surprising ringing bells to audiovisual music recordings. ECAL showcases “Ring my Bell”, an offbeat collection of interactive doorbells, while the EPFL+ECAL Lab unleashes the potential of Virtual Reality with “Hands on Vision”. Ring my Bell www.ecal-ringmybell.ch HD Images Brochure with explanations Video on vimeo DONG! TRRRRRR! Or maybe even GLING! Or BLING!, MHHHH! And sometimes even BRAOUM! ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents an offbeat collection of interactive doorbells developed by first-year Bachelor Industrial Design students, under the joint guidance of Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Head of Bachelor Industrial Design, and Mathieu Rivier, a Bachelor Media & Interaction Design graduate. This project is part of the “Sound & Vision” exhibition, shown for the first time, in collaboration with EPFL+ECAL Lab, at the 2019 Milan International Furniture Fair. Sound and object design are two notions that industrial designers rarely have the opportunity to combine. Nevertheless, most everyday objects potentially produce sounds. Just pull up a chair, open or close a drawer or even flip a switch and you will create sound. What do all these actions have in common? Movement, friction and interaction which draw on the basic laws of physics to create tones. With this in mind, the students have offered a fresh and original take on an everyday object, one that is unremarkable yet never silent—the doorbell. They have designed a range of mechanical and electrical doorbells that offer a unique, sometimes even thunderous, sound experience. Well-known chimes step aside and are replaced by a curious metallophone triggered by a punch card reminiscent of traditional mechanical music boxes. The former door knocker is now amplified by a vibrant dong! The familiar buzzer has been replaced by an energetic drum roll. The everyday doorbell has been replaced by a curious device that makes a sound like thunder. At last, where you might expect a ding-dong, there is now a stertorous mooing mhhhh! These are just some of the contraptions displayed. Come in and ring! Hands on Vision In the “Sound & Vision” exhibition, the EPFL+ECAL Lab takes you to others worlds with “Hands on Vision”. The immersion turns into a sensory, social and nomadic experience. The design research shapes a new future for immersion and mobility. Six installations demonstrate how objects bring new life to virtual content, – in the company of celebrities such as singer, Nina Simone, and designer, Roger Tallon.

Figure emblématique du nouveau cinéma allemand d après-guerre, il a réalisé quelque 70 films. Evoluant librement entre les formes et procédés, la fiction et le documentaire, cinéaste à l approche autant philosophique que physique, Herzog aspire sans relâche à «marcher jusqu au bout du monde» («Gasherbrum, la montagne lumineuse»). Tantôt omniprésent, tantôt cédant la place aux autres, entre héroïsme et expérience des limites («Herakles», son premier court métrage en 1962, ou «La Grande extase du sculpteur sur bois Steiner»), mégalomanie («Aguirre, la colère de Dieu» ou «Cobra Verde», deux des cinq films tournés avec l acteur Klaus Kinski), un certain goût pour la folie et l absurde, le cinéaste explore et arpente les êtres et les lieux, non sans humour ou (auto)dérision («Encounters at the End of the World»). Auteur de plus de douze ouvrages en prose, il a tourné notamment avec Isabelle Adjani, Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale ou Nicole Kidman et remporté le Prix de la mise en scène en 1982, au Festival de Cannes, pour son chef d œuvre «Fitzcarraldo». Texte de Emilie Bujès, directrice artistique de Visions du Réel
