Introduction We are facing a planet that is slowly disintegrating by pollution and global warming. We live in a society that is sadly corrupted by violence and inequality. And in which poverty goes hand in hand with over consumption. Our world certainly is a dysfunctional world. This exhibition focuses on a group of young designers who operate both as producers and social engineers. In their desire for an instantly engaged attitude, they reinterpret their own environment to offer useful and ingenious suggestions for design that can be at once critical, functional and witty. Using prosaic materials, found or recycled objects, and by reassembling and reconstructing old and new, they address environmental problems, gender issues, and politics of space, or simply press for a more human face of design. Not without humour they trigger awareness of our patterns of behaviour. And by exploring the symbolic values of the objects that surround us, they remind us that while we all share the dream of living in a better world we are equally responsible for creating or at least sustaining it. The participants in the exhibition are students or recent graduates of Konstfack from different departments, including Interior Design and architecture, Industrial Design, Glass and Ceramics and Textiles.

Jazzstylecorner is a non-profit organisation, it is an institution organised by writers, street artists and associated scientists (cultural and social science approach) in Berlin, who feel responsible for the function of Street Writing or the so called “Urban Calligraphy“ in the public and the private space. Jazzstylecorner is an attempt to catch the culture and movement of writing by the roots in order to bundle its different influences, and to enable and transmit the knowledge about them to the public. So we want to take care of the traditional substance which was built in the seventies, to derive innovations to process the recent developments. The reason for this is the increasing necessity to answer the public interest on Writing and Street Art.
