NEW OLD explores the potential for design and designers to enhance the experience of our later lives.
About the exhibition
As our population ages rapidly, the exhibition looks at how design can help people lead fuller, healthier and more rewarding lives into old age, asking the question: how can designers meet the challenge of a rapidly ageing society? From robotic clothing to driverless cars, this exhibition rethinks design approaches to ageing.
Curated by Jeremy Myerson, Helen Hamlyn Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art, and sponsored by the Helen Hamlyn Trust and AXA PPP healthcare, the exhibition is organised into six sections - Ageing, Identity, Home, Community, Working and Mobility.
Each section will feature a special design commission by a leading designer or design team, creating new solutions for demographic change as well as addressing the challenges’ of ages. New projects by Yves Béhar /fuseproject, Konstantin Grcic, Future Facility, Special Projects, IDEO and Priestman Goode will feature in the show. NEW OLD examines how innovation and design can reimagine how we live the later stages of our lives.

ACJ chair, Terry Hunt was invited to speak at the third Triple Parade conference, held this year in Tianjin, China. A wide range of speakers attended from Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, Japan and Korea.

 

Conference speakers included: Hiroshi Sako; director, Hiko-Mizuno College, Tokyo; Yuehong Jiang; historian/curator, Beijing; Henny van Nistelrooy (Netherlands) designer, Beijing; Hongxia Wang; designer, Copenhagen; Kim Buck; designer, Copenhagen; Diana Holstein; Master of Copenhagen Goldsmiths Guild; Ezra Satok-Wolman; designer/craftsman, Canada (director of SNAG); Jean Vacher; curator, Craft Study Centre, UCA; Dukno Yoon (Korea) Kansas State Uni. USA.

 

The Triple Parade series of conferences are chaired and curated by Jie Sun, a professor at Tongji University, Shanghai. For the conferences he heads a team consisting of several young Chinese designers, many of whom studied in the UK at institutions including Glasgow, UCA Farnham, Birmingham and the Royal College of Art. 

 

This year’s conference coincided with the opening of the new Shengxi Museum of Fine Art in Tianjin. It was opened by the Netherland’s Cultural Counsellor to China, Ms Ineke van de Pol. This fine building of four floors was ideally suited to hold the conference; presentations and awards were held on the ground floor, the exhibition took all of the third, while the fourth made an excellent presentation/lecture space.

 

 

The conference also included an exhibition of around 250 pieces from 110 jewellery artists from 14 countries. Awards were made to 7 of the artists for outstanding contribution to the innovative development and diversity of contemporary design practice. The exhibition, which filled one level of the Shengxi Museum, was open to the public and will travel to the Gauguin Gallery in Beijing.
