No Discipline!

Designers, artists are proving from time to time interdisciplinarity by working in other creative fields than their own. What they have in common: they have learned to create out of indiscipline.

"I was so involved, I didn't know what to think. I carried it around with me for days and days, Playing little games, Like not looking at it for a whole day, And then looking at it, To see if I still liked it. I did!" sings Adrian Belew from King Crimson in 'Indiscipline'.

Workoutcomputer by Bless, 2010. Photo: Bless. The Berlin and Paris-based label Bless (founded by Ines Kaag and Désirée Heiss in 1997) are invited by the Kunsthaus Graz to produce a special exhibition (Bless N°41, Retroperspective Home; 22 May - 29 August 2010) as a response to the museum itself. Bless are known for 'metamorphosing' fashion and objects by setting them into new contexts such as a computer and his cables appear in a new sportive setting. Who knows which programs they have fixed - and how!

In April 2010 on occasion of Mother's Day (9 May), Zweigstelle has produced the campaign 'Flower Heels'. The flower artist Andreas Bamesberger (founder of Zweigstelle in 1999) and his team of 9 creative heads had been inspired by around 100 shoes from the store chain 'Humanic' and the shoe-style bible 'Fabulous in High Heels' by Sarah Toner. The high heels with flower art are really available! Zweigstelle is selling them together with the style bible as a Mother's Day package (shoes, flowers, style-bible) during May 2010.
