Workshop Antony Cairns For one week Ecals bachelor students had the chance to work with photographer and artist Antony Cairns. The workshops aim was to investigate a variety of processes within the history of photography. Since the invention of the medium, photography has shared a close relationship with technology. Students had the chance to explore a range of forgotten techniques and machines to create artworks around the theme of time while researching its connection to other art pieces, films, books, and images that shared the same theme. Cairns practice has been hugely inspired by cyberpunk science fiction and Futurology. These subject matters led him to explore new ways to interpret the photographic medium.

Benjamin Bucher – Hunters Two men in their sixties spend day and night in a camper. They hunt meteorological balloons coming down to earth. These objects don t have a value for the scientists anymore, but do become the reason for a treasure hunt. Documentary / 17min Synopsis Two men in their sixties spend day and night in a camper. They hunt meteorological balloons coming down to earth. These objects don t have a value for the scientists anymore, but do become the reason for a treasure hunt. For my documentary film "Hunters" I had the pleasure to meet two men with an adventurous spirit. They share a peculiar activity that depends on wind. I sometimes had the impression to film grown children. Comment The three hunters of... "hunters" don t have guns but they take us on a poetic journey to hunt the weather probe! Benjmain Bucher follows them in their absurd, harmless and good-natured quest. He offers us a film outside of the economy, a stroll off the beaten path, a short moment of pure gratuity. And it is precious. Annette Dutertre / Editor, head of the Editing Department at La Fémis
Juliette Menthonnex – Anywhere Mia, a former trapeze artist from Florida finds herself at the head of a small circus with her husband in German-speaking Switzerland. Despite an exhausting nomadic lifestyle, Mia has faith in the circus tradition and patience while passing on this cultural heritage to her daughter Simone. Documentary / 32 min Synopsis Mia, a former trapeze artist from Florida finds herself at the head of a small circus with her husband in German-speaking Switzerland. Despite an exhausting nomadic lifestyle, Mia has faith in the circus tradition and patience while passing on this cultural heritage to her daughter Simone. Comment Anywhere is the story of a life on the road where destination matters little. With great delicacy, Juliette Menthonnex places her empathetic and benevolent gaze in the heart of the Stey family, one of those great circus families in which destinies seem sealed from birth. Here, it is all about learning and transmission, work and perseverance in order to transform sweat into diamonds, caravans into palaces. Juliette accurately films this flight forward from the circus of our childhood: that of the glittery acrobats and the pom-poms, with the disappearance of a world in the background. There is a nostalgia of beauty in this backstage scene. Raphaël Sohier / Sound editor
Image Vevey × Confrérie des Vignerons From Lavaux to the Chablais region of Vaud, the world of wine was reinterpreted for a semester by students in their 2nd year of the Bachelor of Photography programme at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, in collaboration with the Confrérie des Vignerons. Under the guidance of Jonas Marguet, photographer and teacher, the students used clues gathered in the field from the winegrowers. Selected and presented as part of the Festival Images Vevey, Elisa Ribeiro s Nuisibles series sheds light on an unexpected aspect of winegrowing. She paints a gallery of portraits of insects that ravage vines, using a scanning electron microscope. By reappropriating a scientific tool for artistic purposes, she reveals the extraordinary, invisible to the naked eye. This work questions the very foundations of the photographic image, the process of taking the picture being carried out here by means of a beam of electrons. These tiny pests appear like giant monsters, presented in large light boxes that evoke the illumination of microscopic observation.

Ardita Meha – Hvala mama « I was a two-year-old as we had to flee the city of Zvornik in Bosnia. In 1995 my father arrived in Switzerland as a refugee. We joined him only in 1996. As a child, I used to imagine a story around a reproduction of Renoir s painting Bal du moulin de la Galette. The story was about my grandmother, my mother and my father as they first met, and about a painter who had died during the war. I would stage vivid memories I didn t have, with the idea of war always present unconsciously. In my family everyone kept silent about our story. But their gestures never lied. »
Margaux Piette – Afterglow « Afterglow is about the phenomenon of beauty tutorials on social media. I obsessively collected screenshots from videos to make a book with the aim to highlight the frenzy and the eccentricity of these practices but also to move them out of their context in order to upgrade them to picture status and to put forward their pictorialness. As an answer to the phenomenon, I made a series of self-portraits. I used various processes, among them digital manipulation and I played at digitally deconstructing my face too. »
Anastasia Mityukova – Project Iceworm In 1959, the US Army built a military base under the Greenland ice cap to deploy missiles. Due to global warming, nuclear waste left behind after the base was abandoned is resurfacing, threatening the Thule Inuit ecosystem. This installation (a composition of cyanotypes, collages, archives, aerial views, video) and the book break down events and transgressions: a colonial attitude, destruction and pollution, showing an inaccessible and invisible reality.

Workshop Olivier Cablat On July 2nd 2018 Ecal s second year Bachelor photography students presented their "guerrilla communication" project at the opening of Rencontres d Arles. Under the direction of Olivier Cablat (artist, teacher and artistic director of Cosmos Arles Books) and Milo Keller (head of the Photography Department at ECAL), the 2nd year Bachelor students analysed and diverged modes of communication and diffusion for one semester. Both physical and digital strategies have been developed for the field work in Arles: from wild posting, to live webcam, from propaganda to social networks. During the opening week of the festival, the students transformed a 55 m² room of the Cosmos Arles Books into an editorial office, exhibition and work space. This project between installation and caricature, aims to augment our relationship to our society of spectacle, where the speed of dissemination of information sometimes makes the true and false indistinguishable. A newspaper of 250 copies will be printed daily as a physical witness of this experience at multiple media levels.

Fuori catalogo / Out of production The Fuori catalogo research project calls into question the way we think about the life cycles of contemporary design objects by shifting focus from a product s birth and lifespan to its “end moment”. The research team led by Anniina Koivu (Head of Master Theory, ECAL) and Rosanna Pavoni (scientific director of Fondazione Studio Museo Vico Magistretti), explored the important yet under-researched topic of why and how products cease to be available on the market by examining the vast body of work left behind by Italian architect and product designer Vico Magistretti (1920–2006). One of the seminal figures in postwar Italian design, he based his work on a close collaboration with manufacturers, creating 334 products and furniture objects. Yet only 65 of these design classics are still in production as of January 2020. Researchers drew on the extensive archives of the Fondazione Vico Magistretti, analysed specialist journals and conducted interviews with manufacturers and many of the original decision-makers investigating the manifold factors underpinning the decision to cease production of twelve Magistretti s iconic creations, here employed as case studies. They are also the focus of a portfolio of new images created by ECAL alumni from the Photography courses. The outputs of the research project are disseminated through the book Vico Magistretti: Stories of Objects, published by Triest verlag with graphic design by NORM, available in Italian an English editions.Main applicantsECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne Rosanna Pavoni (Fondazione studio museo Vico Magistretti)Research teamLecturers and researchers Maddalena Dalla Mura Francesco Zanot Research assistant Photographers PartnerFondazione studio museo Vico MagistrettiPeriodmay 2017 – august 2018Supported byECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne Strategic fund of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO RCDAV)DisseminationPublication Anniina Koivu, Vico Magistretti.

Ondřej Báchor – Kolektiv. Diploma Project by Ondřej Báchor Kolektiv is a high contrasted transitional serif typeface that comes in 8 cuts including Italics. Intended as a book typeface, it is suitable in small sizes where its smooth ductus creates an organic text structure, as well as for headline sizes where it excels in its elegant style of drawing. It s a digital interpretation of a design by the same name drawn in 1952 by a collective of Czech authors. As a Czech designer, Kolektiv is my personal statement of what I consider Czech character in typography to be. The process of designing helped me to shape my own style and apply it to the typeface.

Bastien Gomez – ETHEREAL «Ethereal» evokes the omnipotence of an irrational market economy, sacralized and disconnected from the real world. This work, presented as a book, highlights the opaque and confiden-tial environment of high finance and trading floors, in a climate of impunity that still persists 10 years after the crisis of 2008. In this abstract and immaterial universe, my images interpret from a narrative point of view the quasi-fictional melancholic daily life of European traders, buyers and sellers of anticipations, in a time of computerized and dehumanized trading. «Ethereal» evokes the omnipotence of an irrational market economy, sacralized and disconnected from the real world.

Robert Swierczynski – Restless «Restless» aims to expose the discomfort of ordinary life, directing at-tention towards anxiety - a feeling that dominates modern humanism and plagues people regardless of their status. Both as a book and an installation, the project resembles a voyeuristic catalog of weird moments that we wouldn t be eager to flaunt, even though they instantly bring us back to life through a sincere and straightforward observation. Formed by a non-linear combination of events, the photos remain thematically and aesthetically independent, acting only as elements of a much larger narrative. «Restless» aims to expose the discomfort of ordinary life, directing at-tention towards anxiety - a feeling that dominates modern humanism and plagues people regardless of their status.

Aesop x ECAL,21.06–15.07.2018,Aesop Oberdorfstrasse, Zurich An exhibition of projects by ECAL Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship students in collaboration with Aesop. From 21 June (opening reception from 6.30pm) to 15 July, Aesop Oberdorfstrasse, Zurich. The skincare, haircare and body products specialist Aesop chose ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne to design two accessories for its brand : an electric essential oil burner and a washbag. In doing so, Aesop clearly showed it cared for smart and sustainable design. After an in-depth presentation and a visit to the three Aesop shops in Zurich, 17 ECAL graduate students from the MAS in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship started working under the leadership of professor and designer Tomas Kral. At the end of the workshop, a jury made up of some of the brand executives – among them Mandy Cupper, Head of Product, who had made the trip from Melbourne especially – selected some twenty projects that explored materials as varied as wood, cork, natural resins, ceramic, hand-blown glass and textile. In addition to an aesthetic and innovating design, the students brief included sustainability. Through working prototypes, students imagined projects such as a neoprene washbag inspired from the surfing world or a pocket-size foldable washbag, an essential oil burner producing steam reminiscent of Japanese mountains and a completely transparent oil burner revealing its fan blades and its usual bottle of essential oils. All the other projects also have their own distinctive world in which our bodies and minds are invited to travel through our senses of sight, smell and touch. Exhibition from 22 June until 15 July 2018 Opening Reception: Thursday 21 June, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm Opening hours: Monday - Friday 10am - 7pm, Saturday 10am - 6pm.

ECAL Digital Market 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. 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 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.

Symposium Eco-monde: horizons nouveaux Can we move from one world to another, from one period of human history to another, and still create forms, produce meaning, sell art, as if nothing had happened? To slip into a new era without taking it into account? Between the countdown of the ecological catastrophe and the new environmental conscience, we are in the process of changing paradigm, and of entering, without always knowing it, often backwards, in an unknown universe, where the political, social, scientific, artistic questions are no longer posed in the same terms. Where was the man ("ecce homo") is imposed today the interdependence of the forms of life ("to like the echo?"). Where Prometheus was unleashed, with his myth of progress and his dogma of development, a new concern arises, still badly understood, that of lasting, of letting live, of abstaining. Where substance reigns, that of products, resources, certainties, a new question now insinuates itself: the atmosphere, a matter of ambiance and resonance, of airy spirits and the bewitchment of things. And where anthropocentrism triumphed for a long time, as an imperial posture, the ground is cracking under the feet of Man, who loses his capital letter, his arrogance, his solitude too. Of this obliged ecological turn of the late modernity, the art and the culture cannot not take account. They must find a new tone, in tune with the perils, the urgencies, but also the humility and the breadth of vision required by these new times. They must explore new themes, which frenetic capitalism and the dramas of history had relegated to the background. Above all, they need to think together things that have been separated for centuries: objects and lives, air and meaning, micro and macro, time and space. It is these vast problems that the symposium will address. It is in this spirit that it will shake up our habits. It is with as much joy as questioning, with freedom as with open dialogue, that it will tackle head on the revolution in progress, and its crucial stakes for the art world - and for the simple fact of creating. We will talk about the Anthropocene, green finance, vital decay, militant slush, the relationship between the environment and the extremities, and many other things. Keeping in mind, in order not to disarm, that it is not a question of defending nature, but rather, today more than ever, of being the nature that defends itself.

ECAL x Zenith pop-up gallery,14–18.01.2018,Geneva, place des Bergues 3 To celebrate the anniversary of the iconic "El Primero" movement, a class of second year Photography students, undertook an exploration of the world of Zenith. Guided by fashion photographer and teacher Philippe Jarrigeon, the students worked inside the Le Locle manufacture and in ECAL s studios in Lausanne to create visuals specifically intended to be displayed around the world. Twelve images, which represent the twelve hours on a dial, the twelve months of the year, and the twelve stages in this exhibition, bear witness to the characteristic richness of Zenith, and breathe new life into the iconic "El Primero" movement.
Collaboration with L Epee 1839 High-end mechanical clocks manufacture leader in Switzerland L Epée 1839 is the only Swiss Manufacture specializing in the design and production of high-end mechanical clocks – an art it has been perpetuating for over 175 years. Today, the Manufacture is situated in Delémont in the Swiss Jura, where several skills essential to the production of luxury mechanical clocks are now united under one roof. L EPEE 1839 — High-end mechanical clocks manufacture leader in SwitzerlandL Epée 1839 is the only Swiss Manufacture specializing in the design and production of high-end mechanical clocks – an art it has been perpetuating for over 175 years. Today, the Manufacture is situated in Delémont in the Swiss Jura, where several skills essential to the production of luxury mechanical clocks are now united under one roof.Whimsical, Exquisite, CreativeDesigned by Margo Clavier, Hot Balloon embodies the dream of travel and adventure. As her first ECAL project, the collaboration with l Épée 1839 offered a serious challenge: designing a mechanical clock. After visiting the manufacture in Delémont, Margo quickly seized upon the idea of the hot air balloon, which caused a worldwide sensation when it flew for the first time in 1783. Inspired by the aesthetics of the very first hot air balloons, Hot Balloon is an elegant contrast of visible mechanical parts and a metal parts in a variety of finishes and refined decorations. Every component of the mechanical clock is designed to resemble the parts of a hot air balloon: turning the basket winds the movement; the burners serve as the escapement; the flame indicates the hour and minutes; and finally, the envelope (the balloon), with its wide openings, lends the piece an imposing transparent, airy aspect.Hot Balloon_Time Takes Flight: The First Suspended Clock “To fly, float, glide, navigate in the air, traveling from place to place; to surpass oneself, to go further, higher, faster; or, at a leisurely pace, to take the time to have one s head in the clouds. L Épée 1839 has previously included a number of flying objects in its collections, but today it presents the first to have offered mankind the gift of flight: the hot air balloon!” Immediate boarding on the Hot Balloon, the mechanical clock in the form of a hot air balloon created by L Épée 1839. This suspended clock follows the brand s other co-creations – the Vanitas and Arachnophobia wall clocks. Placed simply on a table or suspended from the ceiling as if flying through the air, this kinetic sculpture symbolizes adventure and whimsy while remaining an exceptional mechanical timepiece. An official partner of l École cantonale d art de Lausanne (ECAL), and specifically its Masters program in Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship, L Épée 1839 created this clock on the theme of travel in collaboration with the talented design student Margo Clavier. Inspired by the hot air balloon and all that it represents – adventure, imagination, discovery, ambition, freedom – Margo and L Épée 1839 unveil a mechanical clock with impressive, sometimes floating presence which displays the hours and minutes for eight days. An authentic piece of watchmaking art, Hot Balloon can also be admired from below, just as one might view a hot-air balloon overhead, as is the very first mechanical clock that can be hung from the ceiling. The clock is set and wound in either position through an ingenious system that combines form and function, design and engineering, precision and durability. To set the time, simply turn the wheel-shaped crown located in place of the balloon s burner blast valve. Winding the barrel is less intuitive and rather unexpected: the key is the balloon s basket. Simply turn the basket to power the mechanism. Full of poetry, Hot Balloon comprises 207 components, all produced in-house at the L Épée 1839 manufacture, and finished and assembled by hand by a passionate team. The clock, sometimes placed on a table, sometimes suspended, measures 31 cm in height, and 17 cm in diameter. Hot Balloon was been created in a limited edition of 50 pieces for each model: Palladium, Black and Palladium, Blue and Palladium, Red and Palladium, or Gold

Summer University CUBA After marking the history of the twentieth century with major episodes, Cuba must confront a new historical turning point. Obama s opening speeches and the death of Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution of 1959, push the country towards a paradigm shift without priors. Partial liberalisation measures (restaurants, taxis and tourist activities) create an uncertain balance between mass tourism and Communist historical anchorage. The will of the workshop led by Milo Keller (head of photography) and Vincent Jacquier (Head of visual communication) was to rethink the visual relationship that the collective imaginary maintains with Cuba. It was for the students to get out of the tourist cliché, be it the old American car, the colorful colonial houses or the cigar. In partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Cuba, this week has been punctuated by many cultural visits. Exchanges with institutions such as the Instituto Superio de Arte (ISA) and the Fototeca de Cuba, as well as meetings with photographers who have worked for decades in Cuba as Sven Creutzmann and Vives-Figueroa, allowed an understanding finer Cuban culture, with exchanges around photographic, educational and policy approaches. The architecture has been one of the major themes, whether through visits to buildings of Porro and Gottardi, or even a visit to the Swiss Ambassador s residence, designed by Richard Neutra. With the help of the Embassy of Switzerland, the students were guided by four local photographers: Raul Canibano, Chino Arcos, Gabriel Guerra and Lissette Solórzano and they were able to get in places and invisible to tourists Havana networks. The projects are varied: technology report was addressed by Margaux Piette in a film about the hot spots Wifi scattered through the city. but also in the photos of Ivo Fovanna centered on the package, physical network for the exchange of files hacked; or in the film of Tatiana Mégevand on tourism activities Airbnb and economic change involved. The social characteristics of Cuba themselves in the series Olivia Schenker and Julien Deceroi. The first has made portraits of LGBTQ minority which enjoys a special acceptance on the island. The second makes us discover Santería, majority religion in Cuba of Christian inspiration and Voodoo. Imported cultural trends was put forward by the skaters in the movie of Pierre-Kastriot Jashari and more vernacular aspects are revealed in this series of Vincent Levrat pigeons collected on roofs by the inhabitants of Havana. The eighteen projects of this workshop were presented in the form of a projection at the Fototeca of Cuba on Vendredi8 December, in the presence of the Swiss ambassador, Mr Stutz and local photographers. This workshop was an opportunity of discovery cultural and social, but also a framework that helped improve the autonomy and ambition projectual students.
ECAL – Ten Years in Renens,06.12.2017–16.02.2018,Gallery l elac To celebrate the 10th year anniversary of its arrival in its new building in Renens, ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents an exhibition of the best projects created during this period by students from all fields of studies. Under the impulse of Pierre Keller (director from 1995 to 2011), ECAL took up residence in Renens in 2007 in the former premises of the IRIL factory, a building renovated by the Franco-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi and the Fehlmann office in Morges. Ten years later, ECAL presents an exhibition of the best projects created during this period, emblematic of the various disciplines taught between its walls (Art Direction, Fine Arts, Cinema, Industrial and Product Design, Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship, Graphic Design, Media & Interaction Design, Photography, Type Design). Alexis Georgacopoulos, Director of ECAL, and Heads of all Departments have selected nearly 300 projects from the harvest of a rich decade (1456 diplomas, 310 exhibitions, 655 awards, 100 collaborations), staged in a structure shaped as an X, imagined by Adrien Rovero and Béatrice Durandard, both graduates of the Bachelor Industrial Design. This is the perfect opportunity to see works that have contributed to the reputation of ECAL and perpetuated its international renown (5th Dezeen Hot List published late 2016, ranking the best schools of art and architecture in the world). The exhibition offers the opportunity to (re)discover among others: "Delirious Home", featuring a series of objects in a playful interpretation of the "smart home" concept (Award for the best show at the Milan Furniture Fair 2014). A wide selection of films including, award-winning films of the Locarno Film Festival. Many photos, posters and editions that went around the world as part of the exhibitions "ECAL Photography" and "ECAL Graphic Design". Paintings, videos, installations, drawings, attesting of the broad spectrum embraced by fine arts. Collaborations in design (industrial, product & luxury), which have marked the history of ECAL such as Alessi, Baccarat, Bernardaud, Christofle, Felco, Hermès, Hublot, Nespresso, Punkt., Scott or Vacheron Constantin. Various videos of Media & Interaction Design projects, proof of an expanding field of studies. Not to mention a hundred books and publications published by the school.

Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic,31.10–02.11.2017,Arsenic , Lausanne Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic — Centre d art scénique contemporain Tuesday 31 October Wednesday 1 November Thursday 2 November The Pool CH organised by ECAL offers two distinct workshops, one lead by Cecilia Bengolea, the other by Karl Holmqvist. Each attending student registers for one workshop only. Both Cecilia Bengolea and Karl Holmqvist find themselves in shifting positions, moving alongside the art scene, towards the space of the stage, between writing practices, language, poetry, visual forms, film, and sound. The workshops will take place outside of the art school, in a location suited to host both practices, at the Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain, the theatre located in the city centre of Lausanne. --- Cecilia Bengolea Workshop statement I would like to share a practice of dance and writing. The ancestors of Bolivia, the Argentine cumbia street dances and Jamaican dancehall as well as automatic writing. The work on breathing, on hyperventilation as practiced in these dances interest me particularly in order to then write and think about other rhythms and speeds. Biography Born in Buenos Aires, Cecilia Bengolea was trained in urban dances and studied anthropological dance with Eugenio Barba before graduating in philosophy and art history from the University of Buenos Aires. In 2001, she moved to Paris and attended the Ex.e.r.c.e. course in Montpeller, directed by Mathilde Monnier. In 2011, Cecilia Bengolea co-directed two short films which were in dialogue with Levi-Strauss s work : Tristes Tropiques : La Beauté (tôt) vouée à se défaire with Donatien Veisman and Cri de Pilaga with Juliette Bineau. Cecilia Bengolea performs dance like animated sculpture, with the possibility of becoming object and subject in the same instance. She regularly collaborates with artists such as Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Monika Gintersdorfer and Knut Klassen, as well as with dancehall specialists Damion BG Dancerz et Joan Mendy. In collaboration with the British artist Jeremy Deller, Cecilia Bengolea has also co-directed the films RythmAssPoetry and Bombom s Dream. Dates and hours Tuesday 31 October 2pm – 6pm Wednesday 1 November 2pm – 6pm Thursday 2 November 2pm – 6pm Location Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain Rue de Genève 57, 1004 Lausanne --- Karl Holmqvist Workshop statement The term “Deep Listening” was coined by composer Pauline Oliveros in the 1980s and has mostly been used in relation to contemporary experimental music. I wanted to invoke it however with the sense that there s something beneath the surface, behind the noise or what artist James Benning has stated as artists being people “who are able to look at the world around them”, the notion that art making is in fact part of processing this act of looking or “listening”. Part of “deepening” it. Proposing a workshop at ecal about the use of language in art, as spoken word or graphic design. As meaning carrier or a type of flashing picture largely part of today s urban landscape. Also about memory function, “brain washing” techniques and repetition. How things can stay perfectly clear in one s memory and yet also change over time or even right there in the moment. Biography Karl Holmqvist is an artist living and working in Berlin. The main focus of his artistic practice is on language and includes writing in the form of artist s books, in video animations and room size installations as well as in spoken word performances. His writing is mostly made up of quotations from a variety of sources rearranged in the form of a type of written collage that deals with repetition, double meaning and memory function. Recent one-person exhibitions include Centre d Art Contemporain, Geneva, Indipendenza, Rome (with Klara Liden), Kunstverein Braunschweig (with Klara Liden), Power Station, Dallas and Camden Arts Centre, London. He has participated in the Venice Biennial in 2003 and 2011, and Performa, New York in 2005, 2007 and 2013. Dates and hours Tuesday 31 October 10am – 1pm, Wednesday 1 November 10am – 1pm Thursday 2 November 10am – 1pm Location Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain Rue de Genève 57, 1004 Lausanne Registration conditions Students choose one workshop. Each workshop can host up to 20 students. Students cannot attend both workshops. Registration by mentioning the workshop you are interested in at dimitri.depreux@ecal.ch

IKEA Democratic Design Day 2017 at ECAL,22.09.2017,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL IKEA is working together with ECAL and the Ikea Foundation Switzerland to organise the Democratic Design Day 2017. IKEA is working together with ECAL and the Ikea Foundation Switzerland to organise the Democratic Design Day 2017 on 22 September 2017 from 9.30am to 5.30pm. Entitled The Future of Living at Home , the event will feature internationally renowned experts in design, architecture and sociology explaining how they are working on the future of private living spaces and the solutions they have developed to tackle the challenges that come with digitalisation and trying to follow a more sustainable way of life. The conference is being held in the IKEA Auditorium at ECAL. You can sign up at www.ikeaddd.ch . There are a limited number of seats available and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You can find more information about the programme and the keynotespeakers at the previous address. Mario Bellini, Designer and architect, Milan Simonetta Carbonaro, Sociologist, Karlsruhe Kim Colin, Designer – Industrial Facility, London Matali Crasset, Designer, Paris Marcus Engman, Head Designer IKEA of Sweden Oliver Herwig, Journalist and author, Karlsruhe Antonio Scarponi, Architect and designer, Zurich Workshops Two workshops will run simultaneously on Thursday 21 September in the run-up to the Democratic Design Day. In cooperation with Design Prize Switzerland, they will examine and explore the issue of the ageing society – how designers can respond to this development and what concepts and methods they can use to create integrated, accessible products and services that span the generations. The second workshop deals with living off-grid. A team from the design department of IKEA of Sweden (IoS) invites you along to develop ideas for life that goes on outside of the networks. How do people live when they opt out for a while and seek both spatial and technological freedom? Where do these needs come from and what does it mean for their living space? You can sign up here for one of the two workshops. There are a limited number of places available: www.ikeaddd.ch ECAL 5, avenue du Temple CH-1020 Renens www.ecal.ch
The Sausage of the Future Can we count on the sausage to provide a solution, in order to reduce the consumption of meat? And can the use of new ingredients increase the diversity of our diets? Can the sausage make a considerable contribution to a sustainable food culture? To answer these questions, a chef of molecular gastronomy, a master butcher and a designer have teamed up to look into sausage production techniques and potential new ingredients – such as insects, nuts, and legumes – to reinvent the sausage of the future. The final publication Sausage of the Future takes the reader on a journey through all the building blocks of a sausage. It stops along the way to explore issues like moistness, flavoring, glue, and preservation. The publication catalogues different types of sausages and presents lesser-known ingredients, carefully selected for their potential regarding the future. In our days, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we are facing a serious shortage of protein-rich-food. The reason is the overconsumption of animal products. Meat, in particular, will be scarce: thus, we need alternatives. The sausage is one of mankind s first-ever designed food items. A paragon of efficient butchery, it was originally designed to make the most of animal protein in times of scarcity. With its wide variety of sizes and its endless choice of possible fillings, the sausage offers itself again to take a pioneering role. This time, not only to make the most of animal protein, but to be a shell for all kinds of nutrition.Main applicantsECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne (project leader)Research teamSupervision Mock-ups Gabriel Serero Herman ter Weele Graphic design and illustrations Helge Hjorth Bentsen Olli Hirvonen Photography Emile Barret Noortje Knulst Jonas MarguetPeriodmarch 2014 – november 2017Supported byECAL/University of Art and Design LausanneDisseminationPublication Carolien Niebling, The Sausage of the Future, Zurich: Lars Müller Publishers, 2017.

Senta Simond – Rayon Vert “The Rayon Vert” project takes its title from the optical phenomenon and the 1986 Eric Rohmer film, both of which are reflected in the project approach to portraiture. The work can be seen as a continuation of the tradition focussing on the relationship between artist and model. The images feature a circle of acquaintances and respond to the existing, and too often clichéd, representation of femininity. The images are based on fact and are devoid of narrative and of a patriarchal vision of beauty. The project is presented as both a series of exhibited prints and a book. “The Rayon Vert” project takes its title from the optical phenomenon and the 1986 Eric Rohmer film, both of which are reflected in the project approach to portraiture.
