Spaceship Earth Salon #1

With a pack of good friends aboard, surrealists, immediatists, architects, designers, biologists, artists, anthropologists, psychonauts, magicians, gypsies, musicians, and black metal heroes we are happy to announce the very first issue of the Space Ship Earth Salon. As a setting for this first salon - we have invited mushroom biologist Ketil Stoknes and artist Ingvild Fagerli to collaborate in the production of a spatial enactment of the inner, “un-conscious” life of the furniture fair -and a party that might take the scene of its hinges. Being an “un-fair” - a mirror event of the actual fair - our means of expression will include spectacular surprises from the Scandinavian contemporary underground - in music, dance, art and magick - celebrating the inception of still “un-designed” & “un-manufactured” products and spaces - addressing the scene’s urgent need for fun, beauty, meaning and action. The Ship will function as a temporary, non-local showspace for the professionals constituting its ever shifting crew - seeking to literarily put to life current discourses and questions, to make some very interesting meetings take place and provide fresh inspiration and new opportunities for forward looking individuals and businesses in the industry - having fun while doing it. The Space Ship Earth Salon is scheduled for apparition at major events in design and architecture internationally. Its aim is to advocate an optimistic view of science, technology and reality production, radical strategies for intelligent design - and the free exploration of the human body - including inner and outer space. http://www.spaceshipearthsalon.com/blog/?p=11
