Andrés Jaque, with Bregtje van dear Haak, Ippolito Pestellini and Mirjam Varadinis win in Milan The Design Prize 2019 to the Best Curator for Manifesta 12.

Really happy to be working with Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and TBA21–Academy developing the architecture of this incredible piece of the planet where artists, scientists, and citizenship at large are convened to sense the ocean, and for humans and non-humans to define together how we are ocean. Opened on Saturday, March 23rd in a first stage of transformation with a so-touching exhibition by Joan Jonas.

“The climate crisis and its association with the growth of inequality, the lack of agency among state bodies and massive planetary migrations, is again posing questions around how humans engage environmentally”– Andrés Jaque

“When we look at newspapers, everything that’s on the front page has architecture in it. If we think of geopolitical tensions, environmental issues, projects like the Green New Deal, all of them are loaded with architecture and design. Immediately, it’s a discussion about housing…territory…fences…borders. It’s a discussion about architectural elements.” – Andrés Jaque

“Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation has carved its own path through design, performance, and exhibition.”

This one day symposium invites thinking across scales – from the human to the global and the planetary. From considerations of future homes and daily life to possibilities for environmental change, we explore how art and design provides new models of thinking through our shared frameworks.
