Gallery Talk: Inside/Outside: Working Our Way Out of the Damaged Now (Design as Dialectics)

"Inside/Outside" is a discourse manifested as an exhibition of experimental design work. Critical and speculative design and design futures are practices that challenge our expectations, propose new ideas and encourage discourse. "Inside/Outside" is a discourse within this practice with a specific philosophical question, on how design can reveal the unrealized potentialities of our world (as explicated by a passage by Frankfurt philosopher Theodor Adorno). The exhibition's aim is to offer a dialogue on design as a practice that can "dialectically" change perceptions and reveal unexpressed potentialities.
