Riassunto

Marti Guixe (Ýdegree¨Barcelona, 1964) may describe himself as an 'ex-designer', but that does not alter the fact that his absolutely unique work is famed throughout the design world. Rather than creating new objects, of which he thinks there are already too many in the world, Guixe has turned the whole of society, with its systems, codes, conventions and subcutaneous mechanisms, into his subject matter. This fascinating book, with photography by Inga Knolke, is the first to give a complete overview of his work to date.

Summary: The work of self-delcared ex-designer Marti Guixe (b.1964) can aptly be described as 'beyond design'. Instead of creating new objects, which he finds rather 'superfluous' and 'boring' Guixe prefers to concentrate on ideas, systems and living matter like food and human behaviour. As a 'global designer', constantly travelling between Berlin and his city of birth Barcelona, Guixe analyses situations, rituals and gestures and proposes radical solutions with minimal ergonomics - simple, immaterial, humorous and often iconoclastic. This fascinating book will be linked to an exposition in Grand Hornu Images, in the summer of 2008. Subject: Guixe, MartiÂŽ - Criticism and interpretation.
